    Starting up a new thread for one of my favorite breweries around right now. Exciting topics to think about, what is their next fire beer? And how many bottles of it will they save for their old pal PhilBallins?

    Two releases tomorrow:

    We're rolling out a new sour ale series this Friday that features a variety of fruit and dessert themes. With the fruit added during fermentation, these cans will be shelf stable while maintaining an abundance of fruity sweetness.

    Pastry Power: Raspberry Parfait. Raspberry puree, granola, marshmallows, vanilla, and lactose combine forces to create the perfect parfait team-up.

    Colours & Shapes. A hazy New England Double IPA with Mosiac, El Dorado, and sweet-sweet Citra hops. This juice bomb rocks as hard as our favorite Foos album.

    New stout being released. Collab with Foreign Exchange called Alpine Ridge.

    Now available in 22oz bottles: Alpine Ridge Imperial Stout, our collab with
    @foreignexchangebrewing.

    Ricky wanted to push the limits of our system with this 13.5% stout, and we maxed out the mash tun when we brewed it.

    Toasted coconut, toasted hazelnut, and Ugandan coffee round out this thick, rich, and roasty stout. Bottles are available to-go now, and we’ll be tapping our keg tomorrow (1/21).

    Fyi, there was a typo in the initial post. We fixed it asap, but wanted to let you guys know it's 13% rather than 13.5% abv in case that half a percent was what was tipping the scale for anyone one way or the other

    Yea we're planning on making a non-adjunct barrel aged stout a yearly tradition. Nice to let good barrels shine through sometimes

    Stopped by the brewery today to pick up my bottles and was happy to hear that there is some Alpine Ridge Imperial Stout resting in rye whiskey barrels. Can't. Wait.

    I was already planning to stop by as part of my trip to Revolution this weekend, because I need a few more bottles of The Corner of Dean St and Borden St. Seeing Alpine Ridge pop up for sale has me even more excited.

    Might as well pick up some Dry Flanuary, Colours & Shapes, and Flo(wing) while I'm at it. Maybe a Raspberry Parfait. I won't be surprised if I end up spending more at Riverlands than Revolution this trip.

    Lots of hazelnut in Alpine Ridge.
    A very well done beer.

    the re-configured Pilsner is really good and I loved the anniversary TIPA. Happily picked up cans and would highly recommend.

    At least the bottle by itself will go on sale next week. Someone let me know when it drops!

    If anyone has an extra ticket for the Anniversary Party, I'd gladly take it off their hands. Given it sold out in about 10 minutes though, I can't imagine that's the case.

    Pre-sales for Riverlands II, our Weller bourbon barrel aged anniversary stout, go live today, Weds, March 10, at noon. This is NOT a drill or an oops. - LIMIT TWO BOTTLES PER PERSON/ORDER - LIMIT ONE ANNIVERSARY GLASS PER PERSON/ORDER - NO PROXIES - PICK-UPS BEGIN SAT MARCH 13

    Excited for this. Still havent had a chance to get over there and try the anniversary IPA or the new pils.

    Fyi guys, bottle count for the presale is VERY limited. Be ready to go right at noon if you want it. Our barrel program is still pretty small and about half the bottles are reserved for those with tickets to the anniversary event.

    There may be more released after the party if not everyone with a ticket decides to get two, but I wouldn't count on it.

    Hope to see some of you Saturday, and please introduce yourself if you come out! I'd love to meet you all in person if we haven't already!
