Welp....looks like a common theme happening these days among several RVA breweries....
____________________________________________

BAD NEWS: We are closed for in house dining and draft pours until further notice (hopefully by the weekend!)

GOOD NEWS: We are open TODAY (Feb. 2nd) through Thursday for To-Go Beer sales! Just head on to our lovely back bar between 4pm-8pm

 

Answer opens back up for in-house enjoyment today at 4pm along with a can release (draft available tomorrow)...

'Light Work' Kolsch

Also looks like there will likely be some Super Bowl inspired released as some point this weekend...Stay tuned.

- G.O.A.T. Fingers: DOUBLE BARREL AGED STOUT (Smooth Ambler/Laird's Apple brandy) treated with the GREATEST coconut, the GREATEST banana flambé and the GREATEST Reese's peanut butter. Can he win another Super Bowl RING ?

- Mahomes Breakfast of Champions: Barleywine (no other details but probably loaded with some type of adjuncts..)

 

Not sure if these are legit but if so it seems like a stretch. The labels don't have the normal Answer graphics / logo so I'm guessing this is just them trolling us...

 

Guess it was a troll job. Post made it onto Hazeboiz and then OP or an admin deleted it in Q&A. Kinda fitting with the name of the beer now that I think of it.....

 

Triple can release tomorrow. The 3rd has not been officially announced yet but based on some posts I'm fairly confident "One Beer" will be mentioned later today...


Citra IPA w/ Mango, Mashmallow & Vanilla


Sour Ale w/ fish shaped gummies and berries


Triple Dry-Hopped IPA w/ Falconer's Flight, Motueka, Waimea Hops




- Available in house and to-go in 4-packs, Saturday!
- Pre-sale Online 12-3pm Saturday on theanswer.beer
- Pick-up 4-7pm at the garage door (just past An's big deck, a.k.a. the grundle)

 

Yep. They still do them

 

Bad news.....I was wrong about One Beer being the 3rd release tomorrow.

Badder news (or good if you're intrigued) is Deleto's is real and releasing in mixed 4pks tomorrow.


Deletos! Is our Kviek El Dorado IPA that comes in two different classic flavors: Nacho Cheese and Ranch

 

Looks like One Beer Triple Dry-Hopped IPA w/ Falconer's Flight, Motueka, Waimea Hops will be releasing Saturday (presale Noon-3 / pickup 4pm-7 Sat. Feb 20th) and the glass will be showing up on BND at some point this weekend. If anything changes I'll update.

Releasing tomorrow (Saturday) at Noon. No online pre-sale / sales this week...

Hoptone TDH w/ Citra (6%) - This IPA series was designed to let the hops do their thing, live their best life, and be their best selves

 

Yep. That's a mess! But was coming on here to say if anyone had issues with their bulging or exploding cans as well as those that go Mt. Vesuvius when opened The Answer said to respond to the email in the confirmation you received when placing your order and they will take care of you.

 

oun vesuvious

it was on the Q&A FB page from CM Bryant during one of his beer reviews last night near the end of the video.

 

@montman They posted a statement to their FB and IG pages about 45 mins ago. While I'm glad they did I don't know if I should be upset or not that they also make a joke about it in their video / announcement... Also, do they think everyone took a picture of their catastrophe?

Below is their fb post;
"Hey Fam, we messed up. How much oreo is too much?
