    I haven't seen a thread yet for this brewery, so I figured I'd start one. Any other fans? I've had Pig Factory and Solarys and they are both excellent beers.

    There was a thread but it got deleted. Some Reddit-related drama that resulted in the owner weighing in, posts being deleted, and I guess they ultimately decided to shut the whole thing down.

    I’ve had a couple of their beers. One was Solarys which was decent. Had another I liked better but I can’t remember the name of that one.

    Wet gravity was awesome. Have the three latest cans but haven’t tried one yet. But so far I’m a fan.

    Mind.Body.Light.Sound and whatever the other one that was released at the same time was were phenomenal. I was actually a bit taken aback with how good they were.

    I was looking for the thread the other day and couldn’t find it. That explains it. Onto the beer...

    To answer your question, yes, I am a big fan of their IPA’s, and I’ve tried Green Galaxy, In the Gold Dust Rush, Solarys, What We All Want and Mind/Body/Light/Sound.

    I thought the first three were all outstanding. The last two I listed which came out more recently are on another level.

    I tried a can of "what we all want" last night. It was outstanding. Wish I had grabbed a four pack. Reminiscent of a tired hands ipa, low bitterness, soft mouthfeel, extremely juicy, OJ like appearance. Went down very easy. I liked that the ABV wasn't too high either.

    Mind.Body.Light.Sound is outstanding. I'm loving what this brewery is putting out

    We just got distro here in Philly. Really looking forward to trying them all! I imagine they’ll stop sending cases our way soon, so enjoying them while it lasts.

    I've had four of their beers, all of them have been excellent. Great brewery so far.

    Is is true that their head brewer once worked for Tired Hands? I heard that somewhere, but I wasn't sure if it was just a rumor or not.

    same here, really enjoyed it... very aromatic, and a lot of flavor for a relatively low ABV

    Looks like no tap room yet? I may be headed to Plattsburgh soon, trying to make the best of all these college visits we'll be making :slight_smile:

    It’s everywhere. Got it from Monde Market, but just saw Whole Foods has it too.

    I have one in the fridge that I am now very excited about. I had What We All Want, and it was pretty good. Not a standout, but a totally solid NEIPA.

    To all the NJ BA's that posted, are these guys in NJ? Haven't seen them yet but will be on the lookout.
