    Great news! Hopefully the Upland guys left their mark on the sour program!

    Caleb at Upland is cray cray good. Learning a lot from those guys. Our program will always be tiny in comparison but we hope to crank out some solid stuff with the help of one of the best.

    @AndrewNations, I was just looking at some prior releases of the seasonal bombers and noticed none of them have bottled on dates marked on the bottle. I was trying to differentiate between a batch of all my tomorrows from last year (oops) and this year. Ive noticed that yall put stickers on the 6 pack carriers as well. Any plans to put label dates on any upcoming bomber releases in the future?

    Right now no. I can put stickers on the boxes but not the bottles. Not yet at least. Our current focus is finding a solution for date coding on each can that works well. I might look into changing the label art though. Seems easy enough to add "2019" somewhere at the bottom. Hoppy Saison FROM THE FUTURE!

    Great time meeting you at the bottle share in Baton Rouge earlier this week. I was the guy sitting to your left. Look forward to seeing your brews on shelves in BR. That fresh bottle of AAL was killer, juicier in aroma and taste then I remembered. But I don't think I had last year's quite as fresh. Cheers!

    That's funny! @AndrewNations hows this batch G&G tasting compared to the last batch? Did you tweak this recipe any?

    you should make an anti pumpkin beer fall seasonal...

    btw, my brother was down in NOLA for some conference and got to try At Arms Length from the tap and found it very enjoyable.

    Great Raft hits Baton Rouge shelves on Saturday? or just tap lines, either way I am pumped.
