    Could pop in Jacks and by the time you've paid for your sixer of Beast, you've inhaled two cigarettes.

    WTF is this? -
    eastendbrewingIt's been a fruitful day of things I can't talk about just yet. But if things go as planned, We'll have LOTS to share in a few months.
    Until then, see if you can find the hidden image in the malt, while you ponder the possibilities.

    @troygreer FWIW I thought the Casey stuff I have had is solid, but not world class. I definitely put them below Hill Farmstead and SARA when it comes to saisons. I have not tried their Theory lineup, so cannot comment there.

    I would put Casey below Hill Farmstead, but above SARA. I would definitely be there.

    Hey guys. Had a talk today with Dennis about the new Draai Laag beer "The Plague" and wanted to provide some clarity as to what went into the beer.

    It has light stout flavors with the body of a schwarzbier for its base. From the base, 1 portion was put into petite sirah barrels and another portion was wild fermented with in house yeast strains. From there the beer was blended and then additionally aged/fermented over berries (blue berries, black berries and red raspberries.)

    It sounds pretty damn delicious to me.

    It will be sold at both locations for the same price.

    At work now and most social media sites are blocked here, but is there any information out there regarding the release of this beeR?

    Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully they have enough to last into the evening. I heard their most recent bottle release went in under an hour.

    oh yeah forgot to mention eVo. I like them a lot too. Actually RAR I stopped at once and was rather impressed by them too, but they are further away than the rest from OCMD

    I need to have an eVo tasting at some point. Just hoping to do it with one of my buddies on the shore, if he can ever make the trip here to open these with all the guys here.

    I can snag one for you next time I see it. They are all over the Shore, usually.

    The early releases of Fall Migration were fantastic. Really good beer.

    Yeah I just haven't been down there and won't be down until this winter sometime. I need to send my mother in law out to find me one. But if she can't find one I will let you know. Appreciate it.

    I think I need 3,4,5 but don't think they released 3 in bottles...I could be wrong though. I think 5 was the most recent.

    Yeah I enjoyed those. Hope they are still doing well, but my hopes aren't super high for some, though some people said they were drinking fine.
