    Battery Steele is being distributed by Craft Collective. My store sold out in a day of having a few cases. So happy to see them!

    Not yet, but I'm going to open it soon. The last one I had was a year and half ago and it was nice - fluffy w lots of dry pineapple brett funk. I've still got one bottle of Enlightenment Brut left too, but I think Transcendence was my fave of the Enlightenments.

    Mine too. I think my last one was in May 2018 and it seemed like the bottles were turning a little bit (for the worse). You might want to crack it sooner rather than later.

    The Farmhouse Pale Ale is also around, and it's spectacular.

    Weldwerks Juicy Bits is a nice beer. Nailed the mouthfeel.

    Noticed a Jameson barrel aged version of Harpoon's Irish Stout at CBC Belmont the other day. Has anyone tried it?

    I wasn't in the market for a BA stout at the time but am still curious since I'm not sure I've ever seen a beer aged in an Irish whiskey barrel before.

    Burlington Beer and (another) Battery Steele drop this week. Does anyone know if this is going to be a regular thing? I assumed the last Batter Steele was related to EBF, but maybe not?

    Both are distro'd for good now, Burlington properly once every 5 weeks or so, Battery Steele has the potential to be a little more regular.

    Awesome. Thanks!

    We're pretty spoiled with great beer (even if we've soured on one of our local darlings).

    Bought some PBR tonight. This batch is just right. Also switchback has an IPA (not sure it's new but new to me and super fresh right now) centennial chinnok Cascade and Simcoe. It's damn good. $10/4 I will buy it again .

    I saw this the other day and really wanted to try it but failed to pull the trigger.

    which IPA? That hop bill sounds right up my alley. I've enjoyed their pilsners but I haven't bought any IPAs due to price mainly. Where'd you see it that cheap? I recall finback being sold as singles, similarly priced as Single Cut last I checked.

    oh lol, read that as finback for some reason. Not sure we see switchback around here but I'll keep an eye out.

    Anyone try this year’s Framinghammer variants? Graham Cracker was my favorite last year, I’ll be picking up the s’mores when I see it.
