    Is on tap at Whole Foods Coddingtown and a firkin will be tapped Monday.

    This beer was brewed by Tyler, the Tap Room manager at Whole Foods. The beer won a home brew competition, and Tyler's reward was to brew it at Bear Republic and have it sent off to the GABF. It's a good beer, and anyone in the area should go and support a local home brewer if you get the chance.

    That's great to see that it's seeing some distro. I assume that Bear Republic also has it/will have it on tap, but it's cool to see it hitting other areas.

    Thanks for the info, I'll definitely check it out. Tyler is a pretty cool guy and always helpful with any beer related questions. It doesn't hurt his cool factor that he's always rocking a Cantillon shirt whenever I see him. I've now heard about his brewing prowess both on here and from other patrons at Russian River so I wish him continued success.

    Having a pint right now. Dry hopped with Simcoe. The Simcoe really comes through on the nose. citrusy and fruity. Lot smoother on cask. Buddha's Hand doesn't show up as much as the draft version, but it's faintly there. Damn fine beer.
