    There was nothing official in the thread, just some banter that leads me to be not at all surprised by this announcement. :slight_smile:

    and yea, congrats @KrajDoesBeer - we're all jealous :stuck_out_tongue:

    I assume that was because of @ratwheels made the Timberlake joke?

    Please keep playing Husker Dü and Justin Timberlake. This regular patron enjoys both.

    Come on, you had to think this group of beer stalkers would have seen that and put two and two together.

    Yea, that kinda served as a clue. :wink:

    Without a reservation, is it possible to just walk in with a group for some beers tonight?

    I figure with Lolla in town, you'll see at least a slight dip in traffic to some of the trendier places around. I have to think FR will be doable. Set up a reservation online if in doubt!

    Tasting notes on new Snoochie Boochies:

    [​IMG]

    Aroma is up due to an increase in citra in the DH. Bright and orange-y.

    Flavor/body is cleaner and carb is up a bit. Really makes it taste bright and fresh.

    Bitterness is up a touch. More of a rind bitterness than an astringent hop bitterness.

    Released 8/8/17 @ 6pm
    Limit 2 - 4pks
    Draft will be tapped @ 7pm


    Also just tapped a new batch of Sparkling Rosé Ale.

    Tasting fucking great. It came in close to 12%...be careful because it doesn't drink like it.

    Just found a lone 4-pack of Radio Swan in a cooler at Garfields. Didn't want it. Don't need it. Fridge is too full. Backlog is too great. Trying to be good about moderation.

    ...purchased it, reflexively. May have mocked other patrons in the store for not purchasing it before me, while I did it.
