Rushing Duck (2018)

Now I know why it cost so much...definitely worth it.

 

I actually paid $11 for a can on Saturday. I never do that. I can't wait to drink it though, either New Years Eve or my birthday, which is soon.

 

Where was it $11 a can?

 

Ugghh 11? Wow. OTOH I think you might agree when you taste it that it is at least as good as any beer you have tried at that, or higher, price per oz,.

 

Hoptron Brewtique. I was having lunch nearby and stopped in for a second.

That's kinda how I justified it, in my head at least. I'd seen the raves about it here and figured it's only 6oz short of a bomber so, why not just one can? I paid $14 for a stovepipe can of BA Ten Fidy.

 

It was $7 a can at the brewery so $4 more to save the gas was the right call. How many cans did Hoptron Brewtique have left of each?

 

They had a few more cans out of the Duckburgh in the fridge. They might have had more in the back but I didn't ask. I'm not sure what the other can you're talking about is.

 

The BA Ten Fidy you also bought. I assume it was the same situation as the Duckburgh.

 

Oh, I got two of those last month. Not from there but from more traditional distro spots more local to me. I was using the $14 price tag on the stovepipe can (19oz) to justify my Duckburgh (16oz) $11 pricetag.

 

Didn't know any of it saw distribution.

 

Pretty sure it didn't. Likely hand carried down.

 

Agreed. The two breweries themselves had only 20 cases each before they sold out.

 

My advice: try the Ded Moroz Maple and Orange at Duck In. It's great! I'm sorry I didn't bring home a growler. It literally would be good poured over pancakes.

 

New beer coming out in cans on Wednesday 1/31! Punk Rock Freak Show is a Belgian Strong Ale that we boiled for 12 hours to create intense notes of brown sugar and molasses. We then added Ethopian Sidamo coffee roasted by @doyoujavalove which has flavors of dark cherry, honey, and chocolate to complement the Belgian yeast strain 8.2%. War Elephant and Southern Hemisphere Divided By Zero will also be in cans on Wednesday at 4.

This thread deserves a major Bump!

such an underrated brewery

 

Punk Rock Freak Show really is a fine Belgian Strong Ale. Rushing Duck's really good at brewing Belgian beers. Everything they do is first rate!

 

Canned 2/28/18

And with Properglasware!

This one was brewed to in honor of James, The brewery's Cat.
I'ts an excellent beer!

Im so glad so many others are sleeping on rushing duck, as they continue to remain one of the great "hidden" gems of NY craft beer!
