Root + Branch Brewing (2019)

I want to but I heard last release had a good size line (albeit may have been the HVB aspect) and I’m so over the line scene. Good for R+B for the hype and booming business, it’s great to see another local brewery excelling. I just can’t justify standing in line anymore.

 

The HVB release was two releases ago.

Our last release for Life and Fate I saw about 160 people in line by 10am, and we processed the line in less than an hour.

I'm not sure if you've been to our releases, but we've modified them in a way to eliminate the antiquated/traditional stand-in line until the sale starts model. We hand out tickets at 10am, when GSB opens their tasting room. The bar is open with our beer on draft. At 11am, we begin selling cans. We now conduct the sale by utilizing GSBs PA system - calling up groups in numerical order in groups of 20. It was quite effective and made for a very smooth sale. Guests seemed to enjoy themselves much more.

 

That’s awesome to hear! Went to the HVB release, didn’t think it was too bad but like the sound of this approach a lot

See you Saturday!

 

Can certainly understand line burnout, and there are a ton of amazing options around

I’m still at the point where I like the whole event feeling around some releases, plus the new system sounds much smoother (and I think Root + Branch makes some truly excellent beer!)

 

That is awesome to hear and thanks for the response! I went to the first 3 releases. I’ll reconsider this weekends release! Cheers.

 

Growing Up Absurd is tasting absurdly good.

 

Just cracked a can, couldn’t agree more

Believe it’s on tap at As Is in Hell’s Kitchen today

 

Glad to hear you’re enjoying the beer! Cheers.

 

had this last night at Haymaker, and share both of your opinions.... incredible

 

heading over to haymaker in a little bit..hope this is still on tap!

 

Fingers crossed for you! Also, latest post:

 

Were you there last night?

I was earlier in the evening.

Didn’t go for this beer, but I am currently drinking one out of a can and it is fantastic.

 

I was there last night from 6:45~8:30...

 

Haha we overlapped by 15 mins. Left at 7 for a nearby dinner reservation.

First time there for me...finally. Nice tap list.

 

got to Haymaker around 6, and the keg was kicked...had to make due with some IA Wrench

 

bummer on the root and branch kicking.... they had some other real nice stuff the night I was there in addition... Grimm Maximum Delight and a Hill Farmstead single hop Amarillo pale ale.. can't go wrong with some wrench tho...

 

Yes please!

 

Instagram story currently featuring (what I'm guessing will be) new brewery space

 

A space we’ve been paying rent + taxes on since July of 2018. I went by today to make sure it was still there.
