    Finally got my first one yesterday haha. I did just have a Vienna by Goldfinger the night before though, wonderful.

    Per their social media, RT has added a 2nd cask engine to their taproom. Real ale devotees rejoice!

    I have enough trouble choosing what I want to have there -- they gotta make it more difficult? :wink:

    They just did a collab English pale ale with 1840 Brewing from up here. Cask sure would be a grand jolly way to serve that one up my dear good chaps. (Did the British accent come across in the text?)

    Well damnit. I did it. So sue me -- nothing else on the shelves talked to me. 5th 4-pack. And yeah, still have 2. :wink:

    Really, it's that good. :slight_smile:

    I will not sue you, @steveh -- I tried the RTB Vienna and enjoyed it quite a bit.

    Thatch Whistler on cask is very nice. Finally tried the Vienna, which was great, and so was the Rauch Helles. Left with cans of Pilsner and Keller too, and Fountain of Gold, their Brett-conditioned tribute to Orval.

    Have we confirmed Westfalia Dortmunder is draft only?

    I looked for cans last week, but didn't see it (in either brewery's section).

    There's pictures of cans on Untappd check-ins -- forgot to even glance at the cooler this weekend at RT

    Thanks, I'll keep looking.

    **Edit: FWIW: Just checked the for sale section on the RT website -- no Westfalia. Also looked at the Binny's website and there's no listing. I'll check Church Street next, but it's not looking good.

    No luck -- they just list a few retailers, including the aforementioned Binny's.

    Sorry Jay, forgot this post. Even looked at it to recognize the label on the shelves.

    It was being sold at RTB about a week ago but was not listed for sale on their website for some reason. It still may be for sale there but recommend calling first if interested. Church Street did say on social media that it was being distributed, but yeah, I've not come across it yet either. Maybe this week?

    I saw it on the Church Street tap list a few weeks ago, so I have to imagine it's been canned awhile.

    The wife is having westfalia right now and it is pretty good. But I’m in love with the smoked helles! Cask pulled Scamper Wagtail is next

    Asked at the local Binny's today -- no-go on the Westfalia there.

    @REVZEB -- try the Vienna on draft for me to confirm it's the best beer out there right now! :wink:

    They are doing a haze boi next...which seems like a waste for some reason. I'd rather it be a Transylvanian Stygian Black Kolsch or something.
