Twin Elephant Brewing Co. (2020)

That grass belongs to another building.

 

gotcha thanks...wasnt sure and honestly could not recall

 

They could probably use part of the lot immediately outside the entrance and the garage bay, which you could also access from the patio if they open it, assuming the building owners allow. But yeah, I don't think they'd open up for 15-20 person capacity.

 

new crowler on - Gulps

new crowler up: Set The Vector Hibiscus

 

crowlers of Chucks garage available.

They added Crooked Spoke Adjacent to their "upcoming" section; which joins "toys in the attic," Dr. Octagon," and "Scantron"

I suspect Scantron will be announced in the next few days for pick ups beginning sunday and or wednesday. Scantron is solid as is CPA; their recent Hardog is drinking very nicely too. I haven't had Dr. Octagon nor Toys in the Attic. Definitely looking to grab them.

 

I really enjoyed Dr. Octogaon last time they made it... it's funny some of these beers with prior names seem to be heavily tweaked or outright reformulations... Slow Flows was completely different blend of hops. Toys in the Attic, previously had Galaxy, Enigma, Rakau and Vic Secret now has Simcoe, Strata Sabro and wildflower honey, etc. At some point you should prob just use a new name.. lol... maybe once canned with a label of the contents, it remains fixed. haha

 

yea i'm all for them learning, growing, and making adjustments on beers thanks to experience and process changes. however to your point when you start overhauling significant parts of the beer - just use a different name.

 

Scantron is up!

 

new crowlers up today:

Worker Drone
Chessboxin'

 

i recall Chessboxin' being quite good. Gonna grab a crowler while I pick up my scantron today.

 

Finishing off my crowler now excellent brew.

 

clearly another reformulation as it was 8.9% back in 2017... lol... I grabbed a crowler as well and look forward to trying it!

 

yes, drank mine yesterday too. it was good. looking forward to opening scantron after work today.

I am curious how they decide what gets to crowlers and what gets to cans - specifically for the hazies. Like I understand why Chucks Garage which tends to hang around is a crowler beer.

 

Label approval for one thing I suppose, and I think then they can have stuff that lasts during the week vs a one shot sell out... clearly the margins are higher on crowlers as well. $26+/4pk essentially.

BTW just passed by and saw a canning truck there... potential drop tonight.

 

Good point - i had *seemingly mistakenly) thought that only beers sold outside of the brewery needed label approval.

Looks like TE had quite a few labels submitted since May 1st.

All Nosh versions: Citra/Vic, El Dorado, Galaxy/Citra, Hallertau Blanc, Hallertau Blanc/Rakau, Simcoe/Azzaca, Simcoe/El Dorado, Strata

Slow Flows Remarkable (once in the beginning of the month, once at the end), Scantron, Hardog, and Dr. Octagon

could be more - their "brand" name isn't Twin Elephant on this - instead it's the beer, so I only picked out the names I was familiar with.
