    Just drinking my last bottle of Bo & Luke from AtG that I was able to pick up last year. Felt the need to remind you all kentuckercans what a great beer this is. Good stuff happening in the belly of that baseball field

    I really enjoy the 70K as well. Finally made my first trip to Mirror Twin yesterday. Had the Double Citra Monster, La Tortuga and the server kindly let me sample Ernest Goes to the Brewery and a peach blonde. All enjoyable. I brought home some of the Double Citra and Mosaic Monster and a few others. My wife is not a beer drinker but does like an occasional margarita so having 723 next door was a big plus. We had not eaten all day so the Rolling Oven Pizza hit the spot.

    I’m not a Kentucky native but I’ve lived here a little over 8 years. For some reason the Louisville breweries have never really done it for me. I can’t really say that there is one that I particularly enjoy hanging out in and calling “my place.” I’ve always enjoyed what Lexington has to offer and prefer the atmosphere of some of their spots. I also like the “experimental” approach that some take, rather than offering the sam 6 -7 beers all the time.

    I understand that sentiment 100%. Louisville is a super friendly town and there are lots of great, welcoming bars, but none of the breweries are able to capture that vibe. I go for AtG for the always interesting variety and the best brisket in town (fight me!), and Monnik for good beer and really tasty food. I like that milewide has pinball but that's all I like about their vibe.

    ATG got my vote for the food as well...but for now they are closed. I guess the bourbon is where it’s at here...which I do like too!

    Piqued my own curiosity and checked the thread. His name is Sam Cruz, not Nick, and he said no Bo & Luke for 2020, 16 oz cans for 2021

    Lexington sold out in 45 minutes. Georgetown had them into the afternoon, but I'm not sure if there are any left now.

    This one was 9 months in Buffalo Trace barrels, and it tasted like the original bottle, also seems like it might have legs again. Might still be on tap at both locations.

    Yep. I’ll make a list when I go back in a week or so and tell you which stores where.

    Mirror Twin 4th anny is next weekend, they've got like 6 cans and 5 bottles being released. All the bottles are Chernobly variants, afaik.

    Also, depending on your store purchasing habits, stuff will be changing around as Dauntless goes out of business and all their brands are being sold off/picked up by other distributors. Have not heard where Shelton Bros. will land.

    Atrium is dropping a new NEIPA can today.

    Mirror Twin has a large drop on Friday. A new Wheezing, Lethal Weapon 6, Triple Tangerine Monster, and likely Triple Citra Monster.

    One bit of fallout so far is that Monnik won't be distro'd outside of Louisville for the time being.
