    Dropped by last night. Drank a ton of Benthic. It's spectacular. But what blew me away was the Virga. Super impressive. Snagged 2 Teku glasses, too.

    Not that I'm doubting what you were told, but HA has made it pretty clear in the past that they never filter their beers, so if the opposite is true here, it's kinda weird.

    This is like a Laurel and Hardy routine.

    They make it pretty clear they never filter.

    If they never filter, how is it pretty clear?

    It's pretty clear.

    Yes, but didn't they say they don't filter so shouldn't it be hazy?

    They make it pretty clear.

    Went up this weekend on saturday.

    1. Benthic was awesome
    2. Battle of (i cant remember the full name) was a peach tea and mint kentucky common that blew me away. Awesome awesome beer.
    3a. Humanial Stasis was excellent as was the saison. Took both home
    3b. nothing is cryptic about the project. We know whos involved, what styles the beers are, and how much they cost. I dont know what else you could possibly want.

    Hard to tell but you should be fine. It was still flowing last night. I cant imagine they will be busy enough tonight to kick the keg but you never knowl.

    They aren't open on Mondays so unless there's only a few pours left you should be fine Tuesday night.

    Battle of Trenton, that was a killer brew! Stopped in Friday for Heavy Gem stuff and was highly impressed with that. Stopped back in yesterday for a pour of Benthic and Battle was already gone.

    Totally agree! Battle blew me away too. Hope they make that again.

    Yea. We actually kicked the keg. Only got about half a glass but it was a killer brew. Could crush gallons of it on the boat in the summer.

    I was told they are tinkering with the recipe and they are hoping to nail something down so they can package it down the road.

    I love that beer.

    So this Humanimal Stasis...did they still a lot of 4-packs left yesterday? Trying to decide whether I should swing through tomorrow...

    I apologize for not seeing this yesterday...honestly don't know as I haven't had Juice Man. Didn't see anything on the menu that mentioned that.

    Def don't think this one was filtered. I poured from the can into a glass last night and got a ton of sediment

    Just cracked another can of Humanimal Stasis right now (bought a four pack) and I think this beer really is incredible. I like it more than Navaja. I like it more than Double Daisy. The aroma is unreal and it's not as heavy as Navaja, which for me is great. These days, personally, I often am not looking for something beyond the 8% range in general. So this is perfect for me.
