    Hearsay, but my buddy was there last night & the bartender thought it would last into the weekend.

    Anyone know if they're still forcing you to buy those dumb, over priced flip-top growlers for fills to-go? What happened to their normal glowers?

    They have both standard screw top and the flip top growlers available, belive you can purchase either option. As of tonight around 630 they were still doing juicy fills

    I called them last Monday and they told me they were sold out so take that for what it's worth...

    Anyone familiar with the staff at RAM knows they are not capable of answering these questions with any sort of reliability.

    So, has anybody been there this week?

    From RAM Schaumburg Facebook page:

    Proud to announce the release of Fizzy Bubbly - a 6.3% NE inspired Pale Ale tomorrow at 11 am at our RAM - Schaumburg location. Fizzy Bubbly is an easy drinking pale massively hopped with Simcoe, Centennial, and Mosiac. We will have Crowlers (2pp) and Growlers (2pp) to go as well as plenty of beer on tap while supplies last. Cheers!

    Brewing nerds: can you figure if this was brewed prior to or post Shaun's departure?

    Shaun left on 2/24...so its possible but this was most likely brewed after he left.

    This is a big release for them. RAM really needs a strong beer here to show that they're still in the game after Shaun's departure.

    Honestly, I wouldn't mind if this was just good. It would temper the hype a bit. I'm sure they still have the recipes for Juicy and all the side note beers. They should start back at #1 and re release them all.

    I mean Justin brewed alongside Shaun right?
    No reason why this shouldn't be at least good?

    That's certainly what Ram corporate is hoping, after letting the master walk. With that said, an imitation is rarely up to the quality of an original.
