    Not sure if there are any existing threads for this small (but awesome) brewery. Recently made my first visit there after having Divided By Zero for the first time, and really enjoyed all the beers we sampled.

    By far, Divided By was my favorite, but Baby and War Elephant were also great for their styles. Consumer Friendly might have been as good of a hoppy lager offering as I've had.

    Anyways, I've heard rumors that they're planning on using a mobile canning company to can /0 pretty soon, not sure how founded or unfounded the speculation is, but I think that would be awesome, and would definitely help get their beer out there to the masses.

    I'm a huge fan of rushing duck. Great beers, laid back down to earth people, and cool surroundings. Divided by zero, war elephant, and beanhead are my favorites.

    Hate to sound like someone that wants to keep their favorite indi band a secret, but I hope no one else ever learns of them . Want to keep their beers for myself

    I sampled one of their beers at the Beverage Plus in Warwick some months ago and really enjoyed it. They're on my brewery visit wish list the next time I'm up in Orange County.

    Little embarrassing, but it took us far too long to actually find the brewery. Maps sent us to some bar in Chester, and then we just wondered around til we found it. Pretty cool though.

    Great place and great people. I usually visit every couple of weeks since it is nearby. Love Bauli, Beanhead, Nimtopsical, and Ded Moroz. Wish they did more bottle releases.

    Had one of my American Grudge, their BSDA aged in apple brandy barrels. Just unbelievably great. The last 3 barrel aged offerings, Ded Moroz aged in Four Roses, Imperial Nimptopsical aged in rum barrels, and this one all have been off the charts stellar.

    Almost sorry to post this, as I feel like RD is one of our secrets around here that part of me doesn't want to share haha

    Yeah I'm with you on that. Off the top of my head, there's not a brewery within 100 miles that I could walk into with as little of a hassle as walking into RD, that puts out the same caliber of stuff they do (if that makes sense).

    Obviously I wish them all the best and want them to do well and make more beer, but it's nice to enjoy it as it is now.

    Count me as a RD fan as well. Drank a growler of Bauli last night, big fan of War Elephant. Pulled a bottle of Part II from the cellar recently that I thought was world class. Cool brewery cat too.

    @cavedave do you know if there are any bottles of American Grudge left? Not sure how I missed that release...
    Still have my Ded Moroz Vanilla that I'm looking forward to opening, too

    I have no info. It was a four bottle max is all I can say about it.

    They didn't have any bottles left when I was there this past weekend. Glad I grabbed my two bottles the day of release.

    I would love to see them can divided by zero for my summer bbq/pool sessions love that ipa.
    Beanhead is probably my second favorite to see by them on tap locally , although I love the elephants too.

    Just an FYI about Divided By Zero. It is what my homebrew circle calls a "scraps" beer, I was told. Mr. Hitchcock designs a beer based on whatever leftover hops he has at the time. I think the latest one is number four, and the true measure of the man's art and skill is every one has been amazing and different. I personally like this current one the best so far.

    Should probably throw on a disclaimer here first, that I am by no means a hops expert, but the previous batch (which I thought was awesome) was more mosaic forward. And if I had to guess, i'd say the most recent batch was kind of nelsony, which was also awesome.

    But I definitely preferred the Mosaic.
