    Their nitro milk stout and good juju are pretty decent. I am interested in their Fade to Black series.

    This is great, they are a solid brewery, they may not do anything mind blowing and 87% barrel aged stuff, but they are a solid brewery who offers some unique products to our area. I've been drinking a lot of their Sawtooth and Milk Stout on nitro bottles and draft, and are pretty damn good. Nice go to lower abv beers I can drink a lot of.

    So all my local shops in Harford county are saying no Left Hand bottles for at least a few weeks. Anyone know why the bottles are being delayed or is it just my crappy county?

    Yeah it's my damn county as I figured then. Wine World in Abingdon had no idea what Left Hand was and they are one of the best shops in the county if not the best. Really frustrating though that they don't keep up on current craft beer news!
