    Yeah I'm really stoked to have both those beers in bottles and love the art Space Junk had been putting out of late.

    No bottle releases left for 2016, but before the year is out we'll bottle limited quantities of Gold Standard and Sustinator.

    Next bottle release will be January 28th, which is more meant to coincide with the taproom anniversary. it was just really cool coincidence that this year's was directly on the Wolf Moon.

    The beer will ultimately dictate what we release, but am currently planning for Rum Dire and/or Rum Line, Port Dire, and Sherry Dire. Probably some non-ba stuff too.

    Earthrise is a great beer. Also had a cask pour of it at Fat Heads that was fantastic. Love that label! Hopefully we will see 6 packs before long

    ....so I can potentially drink my last bottle of Rum Line over Thanksgiving without worrying if I'll ever see more again? Awesome. Can't tell you enough how fantastic that beer is. And I can't wait to try the new Dire variants as well!

    Bottling 4 packs of Dire Wolf today. Very limited right now but we'll grow the brand into a more regular rotation on the bottler.

    At the brewery today and will hit distro tomorrow.

    For some reason I remember paying $35 for the early bird ticket last time. I'm guessing the increase is because of the Yub Nub?

    @Spider889. I just wanted to say big ups to you guys. I was at the last BA offering and send the whole set to a buddy of mine that is a brewer at Green Flash in VB and they were super super impressed by all of them. Just wanted to say props, especially on the BA Canis.

    Wish I could make it this time just to get that Yub Nub again but keep doing what you guys are doing.

    Pretty sure it was $40 last time and we were pricing super competitively (vs cost) because we hadn't anticipated tickets being in quite such high demand. Anyways, this time we included a bottle to take home which added cost, and aside from the nice sandwich, coffee, and barrel aged flight it also means no worry over lines, cold, allotments, avoids the huge crowd, etc.

    I don't foresee the price changing much again unless we remove benefits. Future events will likely feature a different exclusive bottle or a nice glass or the like.

    Right on, appreciate it. I think we'll try to bottle Yub Nub in bombers for a proper release sometime this year unless something new takes precedence.

    I loved the Strawberry Rhubarb you guys had on cask at the last event any chance we'll see that making a comeback soon?

    Doing a rhubarb variant of our hefeweizen for this release (cask again). Might look into a larger batch of something this summer with rhubarb. Totally underestimated the fervor that beer would inspire, lol.

    Saw the early bird tickets sold out, how many were there?

    Think we locked in our plans to travel to columbus from cleveland saturday for the event, this will be my first wolf event, we've been down before just to checkout the place, so definitely want to see the release environment.

    Hope some bottles last, won't arrive till noon prob.

    There were 75 tickets this time, sold out in approx 1-2 minutes amazingly.

    There ought to be plenty of bottles left by then, but the port will definitely be gone by then, I think the others will be ok but no promises, obviously.

    Hope you enjoy the visit Saturday, we'll have a ton of amazing drafts at the absolute minimum.

    Wow awesome taps, Florida moon and the yub nub were the winners. Rum line was awesome too. Couldn't get into the sherry barrel, but the port worked.
