    Hate to start off the new year with a downer, but had a black falls last weekend, which I loved on draft... was terrible. It seemed like a bottling issue, as the beer was essentially flat, with no nose and little flavor, other than "flat pop".

    Conversely, I popped a Rodeo Time and that was fantastic as always. Idk what's going on with them. They seem to be sooooooo concerned and well versed in QC now, but I just keep seeing issues. Something just doesn't add up, but it's definitely a bummer.

    With that said, I'm still going to grab some of the anniversary bottles. They make great beer just enough times that I can't completely quit on them.

    Definitely a bummer, I hope the anniversary bottles are clean crossing fingers

    Sounds like a capping issue. I would email and they should send you a replacement.

    Definitely what it seemed like. I have 1 more bottle of it I plan to try and see if I get the same result or not and go from there.

    Report back. I've got a bottle. If your other one is off I'll pop mine open.

    I opened several bottles of it and had no problems, so hopefully it's just a one-off issue.

    I've only had one can, but I thought Covert Reality was a step up from the hazy Mandalas they've done. I like Who Cooks and See Foam a lot but found most of the Mandalas post-yeast change to be too sweet and one-dimensional. Covert Reality by contrast has some nice bitterness on the finish and seems more complex to me.

    Loving 2020 Spirit Beast. The blend is usually decent but this is the first year I wish I had more. Were the anny bottle allotments the same for non-scout members?

    The allotments were the same at the party itself, but scout members could also pre-order some bottles ahead of time. I forget how many. Between 3 and 6 more i think?

    Coconut Champion Ground and Cinnamon Coconut BBDA were both outstanding. Had the first on draft, the second from a bottle.

    And I echo the praise for Covert Reality—outstanding hazy IPA.

    Is Hop Ryot still being produced? I haven't seen it in a long time but their website still shows it as a year round release.

    Maybe on draft. Not in cans, though.

    Did rye dark app ever see distribution or was it strictly brewery only?
