    Coulda sworn there was a thread on this before.

    Perfect size for Vietnamese Speedway.

    Not sure why my thread was deleted.

    they'll fill a growler with a speedway variant?

    They're probably cracking down on spelling mistakes.

    Look for those to disappear a lot more quickly now.

    I suspect your thread was deleted because of redundancy.

    It was the first one.

    As for more quickly, this was no secret. AleSmith announced it right on their Facebook. It's for trade in ISO:FT. All prior to the posts in here.

    You be paranoid. I wasn't saying that the thread in Beer Advocate would be the reason for the Speedway variants disappearing more quickly; I was saying that Alesmith making it available in growlers would make them disappear more quickly. They seem to hang around 2-3 weeks as it is, so I don't think them lasting only a week would be a travesty.

    I am more than familiar with Alesmith's Facebook page - it often is used to plan my Wednesday-Friday happy hours.

    I think they are making a shitload of it. It's been up a long time. Speedway doesn't disapper. I think this one is next to be bottled.

    Perfect size for a growler. 64oz is too much to open on a lunch break during the week.

    Stuff is so good. To my tastes, I place it above KBS, Parabola ( comparing to them as they are coffee forward ) and it isn't even barrel aged.

    While I personally wouldn't go that far... it is definitely delicious. I'm glad I work so close to Alesmith.

    You happened! I don't know why or how, but I'm pretty sure it's your fault.

    Someone on FB said something about a broken growler. Maybe they were faulty?

    Yeah, I saw that too but I'm not sure what to make of it. I guess we just wait until they tell us what's up.

    Just go in to the tasting room on Wednesday, and you'll find out. It's not like the Alesmith gang keeps secrets or gets all defensive..
