    My closest store was out when i tried to grab some on my way home from work unfortunately. I may try somewhere downtown if I can get away from my desk tomorrow but its doubtful.

    You think we'll see a Framinghammer Day in the future?

    I had a BA frammer tonight. Last year's was great but more barrel heavy. This year's was worth not giving a shit about KBS.

    Is it comparable to KBS?

    There's similarities but KBS leans more towards that coffee/cocoa flavor obviously. I would put them on the same tier. Framinghammer is much easier to get and more than likely cheaper.

    It's quite good (wish it were more barrel forward), but the KBS comparison is a BIG reach.

    I agree, KBS doesn't touch BA Framminghammer.

    I thought it just had the right amount of bourbon barrel.

    Well I guess it depends on which KBS you are talking about. The first bottle out of the 4 pack? Usually the last bottle is the best. The middle two tend to have any bourbon in it. None of them really taste the same.

    How did you do your Baltic Porter as a lager? Its (like all JA's ) awesome, but its a sipper. Loving your Cascadian, but Red Tape is my fav. Can't wait to get Hurts Like Helles in :grinning:

    Are you aging some Brett Biere de Garde again this year? That one was your masterpiece last year.

    The Leisure Time has been in barrels with Lacto and BRett since last summer, hoping it will be ready May/June, yet still very much up in the air.

    The ABCS is honestly crazy good, you gotta brew this one again fellas. Keep up the good work, best thing going in MA craft beer right now imo.

    While we are asking about releases...due to Kiwi's popularity is this someting that we will see more bottles of this fall? And know I do not think it is too early to ask because I liked it that much to be wondering about it now. :slight_smile:
