    I'm sure more info on the ABC violations will be coming out soon. Right now it's circulating in the trade press. So you can read a few paragraphs about it if you feel like dropping $500 on an email newsletter subscription.

    The nitro cans are standard cans with no widget. Something we pride ourselves on is doing true nitrogenation, i.e. just like carbonation. Widgets just make the beer cascade upon pouring, but there is not nitrogen actually dissolved in solution; the mouthfeel is noticeably less good as a result. Same deal with kegs. Lots of breweries partially decarb a keg and then shake in some nitrogen, which again, can get you some cascading, but doesn't have the same effect. Full nitrogenation takes a lot more equipment, time, and energy.

    All 10 of the League included bottles will be League exclusives, now and forever. So none of them will go to public sale or be available in the merch store.

    Cheers & thanks,

    Does anyone have any idea if Golden Pineapple cans will be available to walk-in customers tomorrow at the brewery if we did not pre-purchase on BPT?

    Based on history I would say yes. There should be some extras for purchase at the tasting room(s).

    I pre-ordered via BPT but was thinking the same as I may want another 4 pack or two. I just finished my last Goblin Rock last night and it was singing. I want to lay some GP down for 3-4 weeks as well.

    Cheers

    Yeah, Goblin Rock has definitely hit it's stride. My favorite special can release of theirs so far for sure.

    Thanks for the help everyone! I called and talked to an employee on the phone. She was very nice and helpful, and let me know that cans will be available today for those that didn't pre-purchase.

    Not to take away from the Carnival of Caffeination, but anyone heard any rumors of when Funk Fest will be? I assume they are pushing it back so that it's not immediately after CoC. Last year it was the first weekend in March.

    As of this past weekend, everything that wasn't barrel aged or nitro was available for fills. They have the League growler menu at the bar now, though, so there's no confusion about what's available and what's not.

    So what do you guys think of this from can ? I like it, and I think its only going to get better in a week or two much like GR.

    Cheers,

    Stopped in tonight and had tasters of Dinosaur World, Cloud Giant and Centaur Gardens. Left with growlers of Dinosaur and Cloud. Dinosaur I'll buy as much 4-packs as I can when it's released. Make that a seasonal please!!!! I really liked the hops in Cloud. Totally different tasting IPA.

    Dinosaur World is another hazy, NEIPA style IPA, right?

    Dino World was great. Also, I wish they would bottle the BA MP with vanilla. On tap it was quite tasty.
