    Has anybody stopped by the tasty weasel recently and know if they still have regular TenFIDY still on tap or any variants (hopefully they finally whipped out a barrel aged keg)? Or anything else experimental?

    Gotta grab a crowler for a friend.

    Oh yeah I know but I had the same saison at the Tasty Weasel and it was also thin on the carbonation.

    I travel that direction fairly regularly and if I see any BA Ten Fidy between now and fall I'll certainly let you know.

    Just drank my BA TenFidy crowler last night. 2 months old. Tasted fantastic. Not a lot of carbonation but didn't expect much with the crowler.

    I'll probably swing by there on Rufus Corvus day and I can pick you up something if interested.

    That's a damn good idea, maybe I'll tag along.

    How many kegs are on? I think we're going there tomorrow before the Avery release.

    BA Ten-FIDY is still a flowin' at the Tasty Weasel although I solely kicked the Breckenridge barrel variant keg. Oops... They just tapped a Spring 44 variant though but it's getting hit pretty bad. Get here ASAP if you want a crowler

    Did they say how many Whiskey Fidy kegs they tapped altogether? Is the Spring 44 the last one?

    We got there and immediately ordered our Crowlers. Trend caught on and everyone else in the place ordered a couple - was a line of about 10-12 Crowlers waiting to be filled at one point. The Breck barrel keg kicked and they put on the Spring 44 one. Hard telling if they'll put another keg on when the 44 one kicks.

    Bought a crowler of Breck Ten Fidy yesterday as well. Man I love these crowlers with summer around the corner!!

    Just got a couple crowlers, I prefer the Makers Mark barrels to the Spring 44 though. Anyone taste both the Breck and Spring 44 variants over the weekend?

    Did the price go up? Can't remember for sure, but thought it was $20 last time, not $25.

    We had both the Breck and Spring 44 on Sunday. IMO, the Breck version was much better and more flavorful, less sweet. And do you have an AHA card? I think it's usually $25 but the price comes down to $20 (ish) with the AHA deal.

    The 2 BA Ten FIDY Crowlers I bought a few months back were $20 each. And I'm not a AHA member.

    At the time 10oz of the same BA Ten FIDY was $7.
    So a Crowler at 32oz for $20 was a better deal than just buying 3 glasses (30oz) for $21.

    They weren't charging extra for the cans like they would a glass growler, or the CO2 they use in the cans.
    I'm guessing they realized this was too cheap for the extra materials and time needed by the staff.

    I would have loved for it to have remained $20. But attempting to be objective, it does make sense and I'll buy it anyway, any time I can. My poor, poor wallet.

    The crowler I got a couple months ago was $20 but I was charged $25 on Sunday. That excludes my AHA discount though. Not sure what the deal is but either way I still think its a fair price.

    How long will they be there? And is it just in the tap room I'm assuming?
