    Dang, before these guys blew up I think they used to send a case or two of their releases to Caps and Taps in the Bay. Unlikely that ever happens again with the one hour sellouts lol

    it won't happen again. alot of local bottle shop reply to their post asking if they are going to distribute and they say no more. They took a page out of the Monkish play book.

    Yes and No imo. Yes because the trade value shoots up thru the roof and No because now they beer isnt as easy to get.

    Couldn't find any info but do they offer crowlers/growlers? Hope they're not BL price points.

    They offer both ... their crowlers are called "Canimals" ... prices are in line with Monkish and others, definitely not BL's curious pricing at times.

    I know they won't crowler (canimal) any of their new releases that they have on tap for at least a little while, they are pretty active on their IG account, I would DM them to see whats available for fills.

    Yeah they've given their Crowler cans a name, this was pre hype so the cheesiness has been around for a while

    Stopped by here on Sunday and tried Eater of Brains. It started of really good then towards the end it started to taste really oatmeal/grainy.

    Never experienced that flavor with beer with oats added.

    So I've tried about 5 different IPA's from these guys now with the most recent being Eater of Brains and I'm honestly not tasting the hype. First couple of the Eater series were pretty solid but this last one had some serious hop burn happening. Kinda like swallowing sand paper on the finish and the booze was not hidden well at all. The mouthfeel on their beers could use some work also, needs more body and could be softened. I think they are heading in the right direction and are still dialing things in so I won't completely write them off but I will not be trading for anymore of their beer until things get a little more consistent.

    Buddy brought down some Liquid for the SDSU game this weekend. It was ok. Definitely a lot of hype behind this place but I wouldn’t go out of my way to get any.

    Liquid is insanely good man. Seriously tried a bunch of Hops including the last few Monkish and this one was way better

    Lets not go that far, Monkish > Electric. Electric is good but not Monkish good
