Latest Pipeworks Releases and Updates (2018)

Just got lizard king and ninja vs unicorn but no canning dates? machine down?

 

I noticed that on the last batch of Lil Citra, but got LK earlier this week with canning date of 9/12

 

I bought LK last week dated 9/21, how did it taste?

 

unfortunately the date coder is not 100% perfect, there is always a chance that a small margin of cans/four packs will not get hit with the ink. I would wager it is most likely from the most recent batch or the one before that, we don't really see any retailers getting held up with old lizard king/ninja/citra.

 

How is this supposed to differ from Killer Queen? Both are 9.5% DIPAs with honey and blueberries. Different hops? Real fruit vs puree?

 

Tasted great, so probably most recent batch but was wondering because they're usually dated.

 

we are just fully integrating Killer Queen into the fish series, its pretty much the same, there may be a few adjustments to the recipe to make it more in line with the fish beers but the concept is roughly the same

 

Will you be doing this with Sure Bet and Unicorn Hits Rock Bottom as well somewhere down the line?

 

sure bet won't change, we just re-made the label and i'm pretty sure we have no plans for rock bottom at all right now, or at least we haven't talked about it in a very long time

 

Must be nice.

 

Reaper v Unicorn was fantastic. Wish I picked up more than 1 bottle.

 

Blood Orange Guppy coming next week. Is it draft only? Don't see any labels for it

 

Finally some Scarlet Betta next week!!!

 

I believe the guppy beers are draft only. I have never seemed these bottled or canned.

Scarlett Beta is the fish series being released in bottles next week. Raspberries and honey I believe. Should be awesome.

 

Just to be clear, Scarlet Betta is this coming week, and Blood Orange Guppy is the following week. I'll probably have to pass on Scarlet Betta since my fridge ballooned full with beer over the past couple days.

Unfortunately I think some of the current stores allocations are getting cut it seems. I think Pdubs has new customers, and only so much beer to go around............

 

Is this an expansion out of state

 

This was my suspicion when there seemed to be less Mandrin Dragonet on the market compared to past fish series releases. Good for Pdubs though, for as much as I love their beer I don't mind them spreading the love and growing their market (and brewing capacity along with it).
