    I will do my best to check back and answer questions or post updates. Should be fun! Two live music acts through 6:00.


    We're extremely excited to hold our first ever bottle release Saturday. Please bear in mind that we have very limited quantities of beer. Approximately 140-160 of each variant. Be assured knowing that there is more Dire Wolf in the tank as we speak and we will hold another release in the future, ideally with much expanded numbers.

    Don't forget to check out all of the new and unique drafts we will be featuring throughout the day. We have cask tappings at 11:00 and 2:30 as well, so don't miss out on these limited favorites! Please read the procedural stuff below so you're prepared Saturday morning. Below that is the full beer list for the day - we're up to 24 drafts and 2 casks of Wolf's Ridge beer! Have fun everyone!

    -If a line forms it begins at the taproom door. There will be no bottle sharing in line or inside the taproom. Please respect this policy or you may be asked to leave. It is illegal to consume alcohol on a public street.

    -Doors open at 10:00AM and numbers will be handed out. Once the initial group is given a number guests must get a number from the bar. At 11:00 we will begin calling numbers 10 at a time to move people through the bottle purchase.

    -We are expecting a large number of guests so please order your draft beer and snacks from the bar. There will be a second area for bottle sales. Beer menus will be placed around the taproom.

    -Dire Wolf bottles are $8, One Line and Canis bottles are $10. We have logo glassware for $7 and a few coffee mugs left from the One Line Coffee event. We will also be selling t-shirts and sweatshirts.

    -Due to demand we have decided that the bottle limit will be 1 of each variant per person. After all numbers are called if bottles still remain we will begin calling numbers from the beginning again and you can purchase an additional bottle of each variant while supplies last. This is the best solution to get beer to the most people while rewarding those who arrive early for the sale.

    -Saturday brunch is available IN THE RESTAURANT but not in the taproom. If you visit the restaurant for brunch be sure you do not forfeit your bottle purchase by being absent when your number is called.

    -Normal taproom snacks are available for purchase along with complimentary chips. We will have a limited number of Dire Wolf truffles available for purchase as well.

    I wasn't able to stay late enough for the cask dire wolf. Was it as amazing as it sounded?

    Coco was my favorite, but I'm a sucker for a coconut stout

    Hey @Spider889 I hope those truffles were complimentary and not "for purchase" as your initial post stated, otherwise I owe the brewery for like 6 of them. Props for a great release, and the very reasonable price for the bottles.

    @Spider889 the release was awesome, thanks for the pork rinds and truffles! There was no hassle, lines went smoothly, and it was very well done. The creamsicle and peachwood were amazing!
