    Thanks. Damn that beer was a long time coming. 13 months. Well worth it though. Really happy with it and a great way to kick off that program. Keep PT4 dark and cold and it should be fine. The caraway might fade but it was pretty dominant to begin with. We are aging a few cases as well and might release in the brewery if we like it. Cheers

    Popped open a Come What Mayhaw yesterday and really enjoyed it. Well-balanced and quite refreshing. Nice little mayhaw flavors. Dry and oaky on the finish. Very nice start to the sour program.

    Any other sours coming out this year?

    More Funk and Sour stuff in the coming months. Really happy with our first release and planning a few more. It will never be a huge part of our operation but we plan to keep folks in engaged and keep releasing cool stuff as much as possible. Thanks for the support.

    Are there anymore bottles of You, Me, and Everyone We Know available @ the brewery?
    Thinking of swinging by after work. @AndrewNations


    Also, not sure if this has been discussed or not, but are there any plans to adjust the format of
    Grace and Grit to maybe 4 Packs? Its just preference for me, but I know I would purchase more
    G&G if it were in 12 oz.

    Keep up the goodwork. Last several releases were freaking top Notch!

    You, Me, and Everyone We Know is very tasty. Either that or Come What Mayhaw are the best Great Raft beers I've had. Glad they are doing nice things is sour/funky realm! Looking forward to more.

    Add All My Tomorrows and At Arm's Length to that list. The bomber is not a favorable format for beers you'd want to crush and consume in quantity.

    You, Me and Everyone You Know is Outstanding!! Great Job on that one. I really think the mayhaw is a perfect fruit for sour/tart beers. Looking forward to more new Brews Andrew/Lindsey

    Yep, Went to the brewery Saturday. Super impressed with You,Me, and Everyone. Freaking shocked they are putting
    out beers of this quality despite their infancy in their sour program...

    Makes even considering going to any of our other breweries here in shreveport bossier, a very silly thing...

    Thanks everyone. We are more than happy with how the first few releases from the sour program came out. We are all out of You,Me and Everyone bottles at the brewery and I haven't seen any left in the market either. We have a small amount left on draft in the tasting room though.

    We do have plenty of Farmhouse Slang left though. Fresh off Bronze at the US Beer Open in the Saison category. Pretty happy with that outcome.

    No more cans for now. Art, printing, etc is super expensive. One day..

    Cheers

    Farmhouse slang is taproom only from what I understand. They do have bottles to go, just aren't sending any out.
