Keeping Together

Now THAT is interesting news... be great to have a wonderful saison option in NM when I'm doing work down there... hmm....

 

You've never been to Rowley's Farmhouse, or haven't started work in Santa Fe yet? Good beer, great food.

 

Been 3 years since I've been in Santa Fe, never got to Rowley's - but will this year! Cheers... can't wait.

 

Clutch, I'm planning to be in Santa Fe this April, adding Rowley's to the list!

 

Any news on KT's NM location? Been close to two months since the Chicago final release party.

 

I think she’s leaving town this weekend. Her brew day at Seedz brewery last week was her last thing to do before the big move

 

Does she have a lease for a NM space or is she tenant brewing again?

 

I have no idea on that. I was up at Seedz and was told Avery said the collab had to happen quickly. I assumed that meant she was leaving soon. Maybe I misinterpreted. Regardless of that, Averys legend continues grows. She apparently makes incredible margaritas as well.

highly recommend Seedz if youre traveling through southwest Michigan. Afterthought, IsWas, & KT have all visited to work on collab beers this spring

 

Final tasting event at Half Acre tomorrow night, there’s still a few seats left:

And whoever is going please ask when the NM place is going to open...

 

She said that she'd be closing on a place in November in Santa Fe. So sometime after that.

Also got word from Gabe that a Double Barrel Catch Hell is coming.

 

So…they aren’t even close to opening…

 

Meant to post this yesterday, but there were about two dozen Keeping Together bottles for sale to go left at Half Acre yesterday afternoon. Five or six different releases available after I purchased four bottles total.

$18 per bottle. The sales person said these are their last bottles for sale. They also had a few different HA wild ales for sale, not sure if they are brewing these again or if they were vintage from Lincoln Ave..

Also, Half Acre has a sale on their own beer this weekend. 20% off select beers (4 different brands) if you buy a case.

 

I am curious about the status of their wild program as well. Anyone have any insight? The Instagram post seems to imply these were left over barrels. I was under the impression the wild program went away when HA Lincoln did.

 

The reason for my statement was the fact that when they sold their Lincoln Ave. spot to Hop Butcher, Gabe stated Half Acre would like build a second location and may restart the wild ale program. I don't follow HA closely anymore after the end of their wild ale program, so didn't know if they were possibly leasing/sharing a space, or built something out to restart the wild ale program after seeing their bottles.

The quote below also includes a statement from Averie regarding the impact on Keeping Together to keep things somewhat on topic.

Hopefully they do open another brewery whether production only or taproom to accommodate their wild ales. They were enjoyable.
