    Seems to be a new thread every time a new RR beer comes out so I'll contribute. Went on tap today, a portion of sales/proceeds for charity (ALS). DONG.

    Strong pale ale, 6.1% abv. Experimental hop varietal from Yakima valley. Apparently about 40 breweries around the country are making a version of this beer, including Bell's and 3rd Street Aleworks.

    Very tasty, as you might imagine. Probably will last for a bit with no growler sales.

    It was still on tap as of last night and I'm glad I got to try it.
    RR IPA was off the board.

    Had Little White Lie a week ago. It's a Belgian White that was still in the "coming soon" category. It was fantastic! Hopefully it gets bottled.

    Little White Lie has been around for as long as I've been going to the pub. I doubt it'll see bottles, we were supposed to get Segal Select and Happy Hops in bottles, and that's been taking forever.

    My mistake. Was my first trip to the brewpub (and was it awesome!) and had never seen or heard of it before. Was under "coming soon" for one reason or another (this years release i suppose?) and it was delicious!

    Shadow of a Doubt was going to be bottled here as well sometime from what I heard. I guess we'll see how long that takes to happen.

    In other news the newest batch of Temptation was bottled a week ago.

    Beachwood BBQ & Brewing will have a version out soon too. And all going to a good cause.

    Had it last night. I think at most breweries this would be an IPA, loved it. Great after taste. Debated getting a growler of this or blind pig.
