    Heard the episode of It Starts with Beer with Jamal. As someone who's never been a fan of Stony Creek, I'm glad you guys got him.

    I heard Dockside got Andy from Stony Creek. Dunno how I feel about that place then. I love 3 blocks away and still haven't gone after I found that out.

    No disrespect. Stony Creek was marketed well, but never did it for me.
    On the other hand, I will literally always grab a Sea Hag. Night one today from Trader Joe's.

    I think we post it on our social media pages, and via our email list. Craig has done 2 about specifics labels and how they came about. I've done the one, and have a fun one coming up next week about the history of a certain beer.

    It's a barrel aged stout. My guess is November.

    I just picked up a couple 4-packs of Gandhi-Bot dated 8/18/20. It's like I was transported back to 2010 and smacked upside the head with a baseball bat made of pure hoppy goodness. Just like the first time.

    I have never had a bad Gandhi-Bot, but this batch is drinking particularly excellent. It's like the IBU wars never ended. If only there were still more breweries filling that niche between West-coast IPAs and NEIPAs; or what I used to call "East-coast IPAs". Well I guess that means you guys get the majority of my beer money.

    That was awesome to read at the end of a very hectic week at the brewery, thanks!

    Picked up Dose and Face Hugger at the brewery two weeks ago and loved them both. Dose was new to me, and it was a good purchase. FH was not new but both myself and my drinking buddy asked how this hadn't been in our top 20. It is now. Would love to be able to get kegs of either.

    Schnitzegiggles in cans, love it! And... beer store guy mentioned that they're doing a Willy Wonka-esque type thing where if you get a can with a gold tab you get some sort of special tour or something. Is this correct? Not like I need anymore reason to buy the beer...

    @Gmr75 ?

    It’s not Gold Stock either. Nor a Gold coin, gold brick, Golden Earring, fools gold, gold rush, Bill Goldberg or Golden Promise hops.

    Maybe Bill Goldberg leads the tour??
    That would be fun!

    Now I am sad that I don't have a growler of Gold Stock Ale in my beer fridge.
