    New beer going up for pre-order tonight...
    ________________________________________
    Malarkey - We collaborated with our good friends iamcmbryant and blackninjadesign to craft this super expressive 10% ABV Triple Dry Hopped Triple IPA. CM came in strong with his favorite hop Citra for the first charge, Black Ninja threw down a huge dose of Waimea, and we finished it off with a healthy dose of Nelson Sauvin. The resulting TIPA is a dangerously juicy libation. This beer is total MALARKEY!

    Pre-Sale for this beer starts tonight at 8pm. Limit 2pp. (https://theanswer.beer). Pick-up will be from 4-7pm tomorrow (Friday).
    *Please carefully read our COVID-19 Online Ordering instructions before you place your order*

    Really impressed with the IPAs they have been putting out lately, not sure what’s changed but they are killing it.

    I had to pass on the Murder Bears, $33 for a 4-pack of a non-barrel aged stout seen excessive.

    No confirmed number I’ve heard but one of the staff briefly posted a pic of bottles on the Q&A before it was deleted shortly after (by admin Im assuming). Based on the pic my guess would be 50-75 but no more than 100 if it’s any higher.

    Happy Thursday Fam! We've got the latest in the Hoptone series here for your refreshment! You may have noticed its getting HOT outside , so we decided to go IPL for this installment. A double dry hop treatment of Wai-iti hops create the perfect balance between tropical fruit bowl and crispy boy energy! This is the beer we here at the Answer want to be drinking right now, and we think you will agree!

    We are taking Friday off, so come grab these 4-packs today, (limit 2 per person).

    Shame about the menu, the answer was a spot where you could get halfway not-bad-for-you food with all that beer. Now just another primarily burgers & fried sandwiches place.

    Agreed. Thought the same thing when I saw the menu. Glad they kept the Wake N Bacon though! I'm hoping this is just temporary and they will bring back the old menu once things get back to somewhat normal. I figure their thought is with limited staff when they re-open they wanted a menu that basically anyone could prepare pretty quickly, ingredients that are cheap and they could make decent margins on.

    There’s also a new flight menu! I just assumed this would no longer be an option.

    I’ll miss a few things from the menu but I just need a Wake N Bacon soon.

    Ah yes @Vikings1201 Forgot to grab that from the comments. Looks laminated so they can reuse them and save $$ from not not having to print the paper ones over and over. Every little bit of savings helps!

    The food menu reminded me of the several times the let they bar staff go back in the kitchen for those pop-ups. Menu was limited and it was items that were easy to make and hard to screw up.

    Just come across this but anyone into Mead, Black Heath Meadery released one in honor of Quy last week. Sold out of the 100 8oz cans they did but saw their post today it's still available for pours. Donated $1,000 to Quy's Family through sales.
