    Does anyone have any details on the Arclight Brewing Company 4th Anniversary Party? The facebook page for it is very quiet.

    I'm in MI next week and was hoping to grab some to go beers for the week.

    Usually they post everything on-tap on FB before the weekend. I would message them on FB, they are usually good at getting back with you.

    Kriek, Black Raspberry and Blood Orange have been my favorite so far.

    Unless the Pomegranate is amazing, kind of a weak release. Mango and Kriek were sitting in bottles Memorial weekend. Mango is meh, Kriek is very good imo. I was told more Black Raspberry was going to be in bottles for this event, and there were going to be 5 total sours for sale.

    They still had mango in bottles last Friday, but kriek, mango, Flanders red and black raspberry were on draft. Had a bottle of kriek a month ago (purchased December) and it was great. Had black raspberry on draft Friday and it was greater.

    While not sour, if you like blueberry their blueberry wit Lunatic Bleu was also good but pretty sweet as witbiers go.

    Strawberry rhubarb was one of there weaker sours. The kriek is very good fresh. Mango fresh is meh, had one recently with a year of age on it and it was way better than fresh

    not sure about the latest release but the original Opus Strawberry Rhubarb was incredibly good. Pear has been the worst imo, mostly because pear isn't a fruit that is really going to pop in a sour imo.

    Haven't had the pear but I could see that. I always find strawberry to either be overly subtle or overwhelming in an artificial flavor kind of way. With their s I just felt like the strawberry was subtle. Not a bad beer but I prefer their other sours

    Black raspberry is out of this world good. The mango is ridiculously sour. It’s good, but in 3 ounce increments.

    I did stop in and grab a bunch of bottles around 12:30; it wasn’t too busy at that time. Haven’t tried them yet though.

    I stopped in about 6pm and there were maybe 50 people there. I had tastes of both Lemon Blueberry and Pomegranate. Both were pretty solid, the Lemon Blueberry was very good...better than I expected give the description. I now they did 15 cases of Pom, but not sure of the final bottle count on Lemon Blueberry.

    Such a great place overall.

    Black Razz still going on tap? Yeah I need to make a return visit on a summer day. Went after CBS Day last year and was impressed

    Just got back, picked up a few bottles. The Blueberry Lemon is an amazing beer. You get both distinct flavors and its not muddled. The pomegranate is not extremely sour, its got some great carbonation, kind of like a pomegranate soda. I'll definitely be back.
