Deviate Brewing (Indy)

Sounds like the next supremacy is all Simcoe - so really looking forward to that. Also had a sample of the chocolate stout a week or 2 ago, can't wait for that thing to go on.

 

I was psyched Tomlinson Tap had a keg of the new Chocolate Russian Imperial last night for their 6th anniversary celebrations. As @mayorQuimby mentioned above, its a complete chocolate bomb. So good.

Incredible tap list at Tom Tap right now. 18th Street Bitches Bank and BBL Hunter, some great stuff from Bare Hands and a bunch of other barrel-aged stouts and delicious sounding sours.

 

Greg gave me a sample of the Chocolate/Chipotle version and its is HOT. Good, but a ton of heat on the back end

 

Was in this weekend. New brews since the last update are: Orange Moo Juice (milk stout with orange zest), an un-named RIS with Julian coffee, Hot chocolate Kryptonite (regular Kryptonite with chipotles), Sly like a Fox (imperial gingerbread brown @8.5% ABV), and Roasted Peach Impediment (Tripel with roasted peaches). All good. The last 3 were my favorites.

Also was fortunate enough to get a preview of the 2 scotch ales( the Main Monkey Business and Strudel Cake) that were barrel-aged before they hit the bright tanks, and then to bottles. The bottles will go to the members of the Deviate club (can't remember name). I think both were in brandy barrels. They were both excellent. Hopefully, there will be some bottles left over after the club members get theirs.

 

Did they say when the bottles are going out? I haven't received any emails about it.

 

No, they didn't say specifically. Not sure how long it will need to stay in the bright tanks once they get there before bottling. I would imagine several more weeks.

 

I'll be in there tomorrow night. Haven't been in as much as usual as I've reduced drinking...trying to lose weight. Excited to pick up bottles but slightly disappointed that there is only 1 bottle of each available. Looking forward to Tropical Death Punch.....the Tropical supremacy they had on a few weeks ago was AWESOME!

 

I have my two bottles as well. To age,or not to age............

 

Have they stated a bottle count on each of them? If they go on sale to the public I for sure want to make a trip down to grab some.

 

I heard a one bottle cap as well. BTW, I drank my Monkey Business this weekend and it was fantastic

 

Been in Cancun for the last week. Mike said he'll hold my allotment for pickup on Wednesday. Can't wait to dive into these. I plan on sitting down and enjoying all of the new taps they've put on since I left.

 

Greg said bottle count was in the 230's and they are going to evaluate how many allocations get picked up....then re-calibrate their member list and look at adding additional memberships as a result. He also mentioned barrel aging the Honolulu Lei Away and getting bottles of things like Tropical Death Punch and/or Supremacy. Sounds like they are pretty pleased with how the bottling went this time around.

 

Stopped in tonight and grabbed my 2 bottles along with a few extra. Chatted with Mike about the upcoming barleywine that's being bottled. Told him their maple wheatwine from mid-'16 is a prime candidate in my book down the line. He goes and fills a bottle from a keg, writes Liquid Grace 13.1% on it and says here you go. Angels sent from heaven. Made my week.

And their tap list is perfect right now. I figured I'd walk out with a fill of Honolulu Lei Away or Kilted Beans...both great beers...but it was the coffee/vanilla cream ale that floored me. Never would've guessed it.
