    Can't believe no one posted this yet, Splinter Gold is available at Troegs for on site consumption and take out.

    SPLINTER GOLD RELEASE
    Splinter Gold was released on Friday, May 17 at 5 pm in both our Tasting Room and General Store. Splinter Gold originates from the Scratch #3 Triple recipe and is fully fermented with Westmalle yeast. The beer is then inoculated with two barrels of Splinter Gold (2010) infusing the beer with Brettanomyces for a secondary fermentation in oak wine barrels from Allegro Winery & Vineyards and virgin Pennsylvania oak barrels sourced from Keystone Cooperage. Three years in the making, Splinter Gold is a highly-carbonated, bone-dry wild ale boasting a rich Bret “funk” married with lush vanilla, toasted coconut, and oaky tannins.

    Cellared to perfection – pop the cork, pour into a chalice… and savor!

    ... RELEASE DETAILS
    Splinter Gold inventory will be available in both the Tasting Room (on-premise consumption) and the General Store (to-go). The price is $22.95 + tax for a 750 mL bottle.

    Customers will be limited to a one-bottle purchase/day on each “side” of our retail business – this means you can buy a bottle in the Tasting Room and the General Store on the same visit.

    Just grabbed my bottle. There were probably about fifty people in line when the doors opened. It looked like there were plenty of bottles to go around

    Debating going. Honestly, this isn't really my favorite style of beer. Then again I live like 35 mins from Troegs.

    It might not be my favorite style, but if I get any, I'm gonna want to keep it. Not every day you get a beer like that.

    Damn, I keep striking out on finding a friend to go with too. Wish this was like as close as Weyerbacher.

    I'm in the tasting room now drinking a second bottle. A friend and I each got our allotment a couple hours ago. Really solid beer. Still plenty to drink on premises as far as I can tell.
