    New Think Tank should be out next week. Its a lot like what I did with #'s 3+4, but this time I used less Chinook, and more Simcoe, Mosaic, Amarillo and Summit. Lots of mango and resin. Hope you like it.

    Also, more Long Swim in 2-3 weeks.

    Cheers,

    Shane

    Please bottle the Long Swim. Will kegs of the Think Tank be making the rounds?

    Unfortunately I don't think there are any plans to bottle Long Swim in the near future. Maybe after the canning line gets operational?

    It's a larger batch of Think Tank than normal, so hopefully some of it will make it to Bakersfield.

    It would be so nice if Citra was on tap at the brewery any day of the year. Even if they only bottle it once or twice a year, to be able to drive to Kernville and have a glass or 2 of Citra along with their other killer beers. Hopefully they get the canning line in operation soon.
    Oh yeah...Hop Nookie is showing up in the north OC area this week. 11%!

    Kern River bottles have arrived in SF. So far I've seen Hop Nookie, Sequoia Red, Gravity Check, Just Outstanding, Shuttle Bunny, and Isabella Blonde. Any suggestions on what I should buy?

    Anyone experience weirdness with Shuttle Bunny bottles? I grabbed one at WF that was just returned for whatever reason. Turned out to be an onion bomb. I usually don't get put off by onion hop traces in my beers, but this was fermented onion juice :slight_smile: Excited for my 3 bottles of Gravity Check though.

    Just had one from the Central Coast over the weekend and it was fine though it wasn't the revelatory beer it usually is. Thinking it may have been an older bottle since the Central Coast has had distribution for awhile and they don't bottle date. Would be great if Kern could bottle date now that they have the expanded production and distribution.

    To add to this, they have a different menu in The Backyard but it is currently only open Friday- Sunday.

    We fired up our bottle coder a few weeks ago and it did not work. We are working with the company to get it operational...

    We just cracked a bottle and my wife immediately complained of a garlic smell/taste, so yeah somethings going on. It's always has a little of that onion/garlic thing going on but this is a bit much.
