    Yeah, we're working on fixing this. Unfortunately our little Meheen just doesn't do a good job of rinsing the bottles after they get filled. We've done everything we can to beef up the rinser that came with the filler, so we're going to need to add our own. It's a work in progress. It certainly doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the beer or the bottle.

    Cheers& thanks,

    #3 even moreso since you aren't behind a desk in the brewery but out in Maui right now. Get off your phone/computer and enjoy the scenery.

    Ha, I've got a really busy schedule out here! Selling beer every day and hosting events every night. I'm just stoked you guys care enough about what we do to ask me stuff.

    Any idea when Booming Rollers might be available on draft through Stone Distribution?

    Can't wait to send Booming Rollers out across the country.

    Draft starts heading up to Stone on Tuesday, I believe.

    Thanks man! Glad to hear you dig it. I'm excited to get Oneida cans out there next.

    Cheers to that. I love seeing our beers traded/sent out to folks outside of SoCal. It's a big part of how I got into beer myself.

    Cheers & thanks,

    A testament to the influence of the Modem Tones moniker; when looking for Booming Rollers I went to BevMo and Trader Joes and asked for the new Modem Tones Booming Rollers.......when a dude replied, 'huh? modem tones?" I realized how this joke has infiltrated my subconsciousness!!

    My life would be complete if they released Modern Times Modem Tones.

    If Cigar City was able to make the internet beer meme, $110K + OT, I don't see why Modem Tones can't be rocked as a special release.

    I've said it multiple times before and I'll say it again, Jacob and MT just kill it. I love the personal online presence that Jacob has with us here and on social media and I truly think it helps me want to drink MT beers even more than I do. I for one would love to buy @ModernTimesJacob a beer someday...

    I'm not. It takes a low rider jeep with at least 3 wheels on the ground to get me excited.

    Anyone seen Booming Rollers cans in LA yet? Specifically N.E. LA--Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena?

    @ModernTimesJacob

    What are the plans for canning the seasonals? Will you brew it multiple times and releases cans over the next month or two?

    Ha! I had thought this exact same question this morning.

    Yup, that's exactly the plan. Next batch will be brewed this week. There is a limit though to the number of times we can brew them, so if they're more popular than expected, there may be gaps in availability.
