    If only there was a way to brew a beer with adjuncts that didn’t explode.

    Since I am from NJ, I have not heard of this brewery until a few minutes ago, but since I've been driving a Baja Turbo for the past 16 years, I have no choice but to try to get this beer. Anyone willing to help me out? Is this the kind of place you need to get to hours before they open in order to get that day's release?

    The one beers of their you typically have to show up early for are their Stouts when they release those in cans/bottles, which doesn't happen too often, or their Joose (fruited Berliners) Crowlers if there's something specific you want when they sell those on Tues/Thurs/Sun.

    I'm not convenient so can't help but looking at the Untappd reviews the Baja didn't seem to go over too well expect for probably some fanbois that rate anything from them highly.

    I think there's a Facebook group where you might find more success with this. I'm not part of it, and I can't remember the name but hopefully with a little searching you could find it.

    Thanks for the tips, I actually ended up just taking the ride down there myself yesterday. I called Saturday just before they closed to ask if they still had a good amount left and they said it should last until at least late in the day, so I left in the morning to get there around 1:00. I went down there just for the beer, which I wasn't really expecting to be very good, but was very surprised. I also tried two of their stouts and a barleywine to round out a flight and was blown away. Their beers are top notch and their pulled pork burger was just as good.

    I told them I drove my Baja Turbo from 5 hours away just to get the beer, and the manager took a picture of me with my car and their beer and posted it on their Instagram haha. Then while I was eating, a server poured me four samples of their Joose variants. He asked which one I liked the most and then he gave me two free crowlers of it! I wish I could have stuck around to try more of their stouts but I had to drive back up. I'll definitely make sure to stop by this place again next time I'm in Virginia though!

    Is The Answer typically packed out Saturdays? Would it be a good place to bring the family or should I avoid.

    There are practically always families at the Answer, it’s a good place for that. However yes, on a Saturday it is very likely to be busy.
