    Some great news from TRVE. From their Website and Facebook Page:

    "It's been almost two years.
    We've already doubled our capacity.
    We're about to double it again.
    We have just found the location for our sanctuary sans saccharomyces, our altar of alternative brewing. We have found the Acid Temple.
    Located at 2620 W 2nd Ave, The Acid Temple will be 5,000 square feet dedicated to brewing, aging, and packaging our wild and sour beers. The critters will run wild - with some guidance and influence from us. The pHs will be low. The beers will run the gamut of colors, flavors, and intensities.

    [​IMG]

    Our series of Mythological Occult Ales has been met with great fanfare, but we've barely been able to keep six accounts stocked with them. The Acid Temple will ensure that we have the means to provide you with the sours and wilds you're asking for.
    We hope to be able to give you a tour of the fully operational Acid Temple this summer.    "

    Right next to Wit's End and Colorado Cider Company. Too bad they won't have a tap room because that could be a fun little walk with lots or random flavors! Wit's/ TRVE Collaborations in the future? Don't mind if I do.

    This is a very cool thing. It wasn't long ago when the only sours and/or wilds we had in the whole state were from New Belgium and (much later) Trinity. Crazy to see how things have changed.

    The only thing that would have excited me more was to learn that they were going to start bottling/canning six packs of some of their regular beers like Tunnel of Trees, Hellion, etc. I am sure they aren't ready to take on that big a commitment, but a man can wish....

    Also when I traded for these, my partner said that TRVE charges a lot for the growlers? True/False/why?

    It's a membership (or CVLT, as they call it) where you buy the (32 oz) growler at the beginning of the year and 6 fills are included in the price. This year was $60 (maybe? I can hardly keep track anymore). The growlers are also limited edition with badass screenprinted artwork on them.

    Growler (32oz) fills are $10, which is the same price per ounce you pay at the bar. Kind of ridiculous. Won't be reupping my membership this year.
