Forbidden Root (2019)

Holy Shit Great News!!!!!!

 

Hey all- we have an amazing beer dinner at Travelle on Thursday- amazing opportunity to try some crazy food from them. 4 pairings- Welcome beers and bar snacks. I’ll be there and it’s going to be a ton of fun. Come try a new experience!

 

Pretty sure I saw this and just said "oh yeah, Snoochie is being brewed next, nice." Totally missed the year-round part, and yeah, that's awesome news. I've really been missing my go-to NE IPAs when I wasn't in the mood to try something new.

 

Is the Snoochie that was released this week different from prior batches? The cans I purchased yesterday say DDH with Citra and Mosaic.

 

I thought that's what they always were (citra + mosaic), but I could be totally wrong.

 

that is correct. always has been. just label tweaks! letting ppl have more info plus putting name under the design.

 

So Craft Beer Week!!!! I update our verified venue all the time for events so that is best way to keep up now. you can follow for tappings and events. super easy and makes it easier for me to get it out there for all to see. lets be real, more people use untappd then BA.

Tuesday is Saisonathon! We really have a freaking cool list for this. very excited and pairing with our buddies at ABV Chicago has been fun! Cruz Blanca, Maplewood, Lo Rez, Whiner, Middle Brow, Afterthough, Off Color, Illuminated plus the debut of Urban Farmstead II. Head Brewer Nick Williams second take for our pub only saison line. Vol 2. Features Quince and Tarragon for earthy spring drinking.

Wednesday is our 3rd Annual New England Night! you know what this is. very excited for this list!!! Featuring 3 Brand New IPAs from us debuting that night!. Our friends from Saint Errant, More, Maplewood, Hop Butcher, Lil Beaver, Bent River, Pipeworks, DryHop, Corridor(Phase Three Collab), Illuminated, Une Annee, Hop Butcher, Noon Whistle, and Marz!!!!!! We have more beer than our 16 lines so when we kick one we will put on another!!

Saturday the 18th at 11am- Cultivator Series Debut. Yes. Cans. New. This is the debut of our brewpub only line. Cultivator Series will be many different styles and where our collabs will land!

Cultivator Series #1- Unrealistic Expectations our collab with Saint Errant. Sour IPA with Tangerine, Vanilla, Cinnamon, Lactose and El Dorado Hops. The name works in so many ways but the real reason is that Brent is a Mizzou fan from Nashville and Im a Tennessee Vols fan. And ever since 98 this truly what our fan base has had. Unrealistic Expectations! lol.

Cultivator Series #2- Sprinkes Required our collab with Ology Brewing from Tallahassee! Sour IPA with Hibiscus, Rooibos Tea, Lactose and Hopped with El Dorado and Michigan Copper! As you know our Sour IPA line is Assembly Required and theirs is Sprinkle Factor. Both brewers named Nick used different techniques from our own Sour IPAs so we wanted to use the combined name.

Cultivator Series #3- South Island, a brand new Southern Hemisphere DDH IPA. Moutere, Southern Cross, Taiheke hops! Very excited for this hop combo!!!

I will also tap some pretty awesome guest taps that Saturday! Horus Stout, Weldworks Stout and some more goodies!!!!!

CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
