    I get down there once and a while and any midweek drop has been steady but slow without much of a line (if any). If something good gets dropped on a Saturday morning is where I've seen lines.

    Someone from St. Louis may be able to help more, but I haven't noticed much of a pattern on when they have drops.

    We're coming down from the Chicago area to St. Louis the same time for Ruggerfest (rugby tournament). We'll be eating there Friday night (Cugino's has great food - come hungry and thirsty) so I messaged NG on Facebook and they wrote: "Hopefully we will have DDH Fallen Flag and DDH Sparkle Motion available in cans that weekend!"
    I have seen them release these before on Thurs/Fri with the limited ones like Queen or King FF on Saturdays. Good luck to us all - Cheers!

    These will actually be the first two batches off of our new equipment so we essentially twice the amount of cans as normal with these batches. DDH Sparkle Motion should be Thursday and DDH Fallen Flag should be Saturday this week. Cheers!

    Thanks Jeff! We really appreciate it when the brewery chimes in - makes us want to come back for more, and more, and more... Good Luck with the new equipment - Cheers!

    Tried the first cans of the new equipment and they are STELLAR! DDH Sparkle Motion and DDH Fallen Flag continue to be great. We were in town for a rugby tournament and after bringing some cans back to the hotel, most parents were asking where these beers came from and how to get there on the way back to IL. Keep up the good work!

    Look very closely at the cans of Cloud City, the artwork...drink a couple before you do. I see stuff.

    I have family in STL and went here on a whim as I was leaving town last Monday (planned on visiting Sunday but hours were changed).

    Awesome beers! Grabbed OJ Run, Fallen Flag, and DDH Citra. OJ is definitely my favorite but all are great. Will definitely be hitting up family for some “care packages”.

    Hey everyone! I will be traveling into STL this weekend for a wedding and really want to make a stop at NG. I just saw on their facebook page they had a double can release today, does anyone have an idea how long those will last? Friday? Saturday? Also if anyone has food recommendations in the area around NG, I am all ears. Cheers!

    I would imagine they will last for a while, he increased his capacity earlier this year and things tend to stick around longer these days.

    So has anyone tried To The Yard (French Toast)? I bought a 4 pack the weekend it was released and had 1 can: it was a total cinnamon bomb! I loved it. A Wellesley later I had another can and I couldn’t even taste the cinnamon. The maple came through a little more but in 1 week the taste has changed completely. I gave a can to my friend and he also tasted no cinnamon. Has anyone else had this experience?
