Narrow Gauge Releases

Was able to snag 2 4-packs this morning but I would bet they are sold out by now, fyi.

 

Gonna try to swing by on my way to COMO in a month. Do they fill outside growlers?

 

Yes. I think they have to be 32 oz.

 

Anyone pop open some cans yet? Are they as good as on draft?

 

OJ Run is better with a week of age on it IMO

 

I had a can of the first Fallen Flag canning run last weekend (approx. 30 days old) and it was great. I accidentally lost it at the back of the fridge. Your methods may vary, but you would think that keeping some for 30 days as long as it's stored cold should be no issue for a properly canned beer, right?

 

Hey all, I'm probably going to drop by the Tableau de Fleurs and OJ Run release on Saturday. How crazy are these Narrow Gauge releases generally speaking? I won't be heartbroken if I can't get cans/bottles, and I don't really want to wait in line, so how do these things generally work?

 

The only “release” they’ve had is Zavtrak. Other than that there hasn’t been a “line up” release.

 

Update: they made a Facebook event so I guess they’re expecting a crowd. So it sounds like you’ll need to be in line unless you want to risk it for later.

 

Has anyone else had drastic variances in cans in a single four pack? Most of what I've had has been great but I had one OJ Run and one DDH Fallen Flag that were undrinkable brown messes.

 

I had some sparkle motion and fallen flag and haven't had any issues.

 

Jumping into the fray here...I had my first Narrow Gauge yesterday; a can of DDH OJ Run.

This was quite possibly the best IPA I've ever had. Fruity but with a nice dryness (NOT bitterness); incredible mouthfeel.

Completely balanced, easy to drink, and bursting with flavor. I was skeptical due to the hype; I'm now a believer.

 

I'm a DDH Fallen flag guy but yes the OJ run was INCREDIBLE.

 

Yes I had a friend that experienced the same thing. It was a few batches ago. If you contact cuginos and mention this they should take care of you.

 

Reading this: I will drink my 4 pack by the end of the week. It's super fresh now, no need to risk it.

 

Well it's funny, my four pack was probably close to a month old. I opened one and it was all screwed up. But then I grabbed another and it was fine. I wonder if the can didn't seal right or something

 

There was an issue when he first started canning. Should not have any issues anymore. If you do I'm sure they will make it up to anyone.
