Can someone please confirm - Tilted Barn online ordering is only valid for the day? I can’t order today/tomorrow and pick up on Saturday?

 

From the comments on a previous Instagram post it seems if you order on a Wednesday, you can pick it up any day between Thursday through Saturday. I could be wrong, but that’s how I read it.

 

I did get an email through and TB confirmed pickup on any day of operation during a particular week.

 

I ordered a couple weeks ago on a Friday and picked up on Saturday no issues. They’ll hold until they the close on Saturday but won’t hold until the next week.

 

Definitely appreciate the breweries that allow pick up on a different day.

This pandemic online ordering is dangerous for my budget!

 

Proclamation is releasing Knock It Off collaboration today. Pretty awesome.

 

And they just posted they're done with online orders for today. Looks like strong demand!

 

For a beer nobody has tasted. Don't you love when that happens?

 

Meet the new DIPA, same as the old DIPA...

 

To their credit, Proclamation actually has a beer called Same Beer Different Label. At least they can poke fun at themselves.

 

I do love it because of the layers. It still cues me to do anything but buy. It's not poking fun imo. It's lampshading masquerading as poking fun. The reverse lampshade if you will. I'm good.

 

I mean, they're donating $2 from each 4-pack sold to charity. This is more than "a beer," if you will.

I haven't tried it, but I'm sure it's at least decent.

 

Good point.

Good point.

 

Shaidzon brews where Proclamation started out I think. Must be something in the water. Tilted Barn adds that beautiful setting. So many fantastic breweries in Little Rhody now.

 

I was doing some spring cleaning in the basement today and tucked in with my empty growlers was an unopened bottle of The Eternal Void of the Alpaca Magi from Proclamation. It spurred a few questions...

1) How old is this? Untappd has it created in Sep 2016. Was there only one release?

2) Is this too old? The description for those not familiar is, a dark sour fermented in oak with dark tart cherries, plums, black currants, and raspberries. Is this a style that one can age?

3) Is this awesome? Am I so lucky or is it not that cool?

Thanks in advance for the help.

 

1. I believe that was the only release of that particular Alpaca Magi
2. I had my last bottle of that about 2 months ago - it held up just fine
3. It's awesome, though I'm a big fan of the whole Alpaca series (though maybe less enthusiastic about the Tropical one)

 

As of Saturday, Rhode Island restaurants are allowed to also sell sealed mixed drinks and beer growlers to go. Previously only beer and wine packaged in their original containers were allowed.

 

Currently sipping on a DDH Cactus from last weekend...am I crazy to think this is on par with some of Tree House's best? So good.

 

You are not crazy at all for thinking that. There are a bunch of breweries that I feel make beer that is on par with Tree House especially if you reference one of the best beers that a brewery makes and I think DDH Cactus is one of Tilted Barn's best.

 

Is there anything of beer-note south of Fall River, either in Tiverton/LC or on the Island?
