    Tonight I had a mini tasting of beers from Penrose Brewery...
    Axis Session Sour
    Spectral
    Devoir
    P2
    Taproom
    Raspberry Dubbel
    Lavender Wit

    My favorite out of the bunch was the Axis by far. I'd like to hear others thoughts and possible pairings. I'm a newbie to craft beers :slight_smile:

    @Nachos4two this was? thought canning/bottles were only for special releases after the rest of the bottles were pulled.

    Per a article on pourmanbeer.com http://www.pourmanbeer.com/ttsg002/

    "Their shortlist of past and ongoing activities includes collaborating with Perennial Artisan Ales and Funk Factory Geuzeria, hosting a free haunted brewery for Halloween, working with countless local businesses for events, participating in unique beer-pairing dinners, Firkin Fridays and teaching classes on the business of craft beer. Not to mention the popular wild ale program that Korder has developed, which has sour fans lined up down the block for limited bottle releases. A new chapter in Penrose’s story will begin next month when they release their first canned beers, Session Sour – Amarillo and Taproom IPA. Be on the lookout for more big news from the team later in the year."

    The raspberry dubbel is so good. Wish they'd can that. My not even a dubbel drinker but I'd buy that often during summer

    Also would add in that their sours are probably the best thing they are producing IMO.

    Anyone hear anything on the latest sour release? I was in the taproom at the beginning of June and was told they were bottle conditioning the latest batch and were aiming for a mid-June release on the next Wild. Its not middle of July and I have not heard anything on the next release - anyone have any info on what happened or when the next release is slated?
