New in Kentucky

Funny, this talk. My wife just came home from w6 tonight with a crowler of Snake Eyes.

 

Anyone seen bottles of drie fonteinen around anywhere?

 

Yes. Multiple places in Lexington.

Hey hey,

This thread is LLLLLLLOOOOOOONNNNNNG. Can I get a list of good breweries to visit in Louisville/Lexington, please?

Already on the list:
Country Boy
West Sixth Brewing
Mirror Twin
Against the Grain

Thanks!

 

Lexington: add Ethereal

Louisville: Mile Wide, Monnik, 3rd Turn

 

Thanks!

 

I'd add Akasha to the list in Louisville. They got a new head brewer last fall and he's been doing some killer stuff.

 

Duly noted. Will have to check it out.

 

ya I need to revisit 3rd turn, my experience was pretty meh. But Akasha is solid and holsopple is good stuff too. Great flood also had some good stuff, nice variety, and some cool guest taps

 

New to Kentucky: Perennial Artisian Ales

Seen bombers of Sump, and a few different cans; I grabbed Saison De Lis.

Coming from a Buckeye, you Bluegrass boys are slacking! We can't leave it just to @IMFletcher to keep us up to date.

 

Also, Re: Hoof Hearted

Those cans that are showing up are not from HH proper. They are contract brewed by Great South Bay for distro by 12 Percent. FYI. @johnjohnbeer @dscott421 @slangtruth

 

I believe Perennial was a one time drop earlier last month; we got some last year as well in a single release.

 

Yeah, I haven't purchased any. Local reviews have been mixed, at best.

 

Long shot I know, but any Lexington folks willing to part with a SC set? I have a last minute funeral 9-12 on Saturday and I’m gonna miss it now.

 

I'm sure Lou Beer Snobs will be razzling them, lol.

There's a FB group called Lex Beer Trades, you might find a mule there. I'd help, but mine are all spoken for.

 

BTW, if you're going to West Sixth and you're not in the top 150, you will likely not get variants. Info sourced from the brewery.

 

I have been told Perennial is going to be regular distro now. This isn't going to be a one time drop like last time.

 

Yeah, Im guessing those razzles will be something all right.

 

Release is at 10....... so razzles start at 10:02?
