    Just moved into Portsmouth and made the drive over there early Saturday. What a great bunch and a killer IPA. This was a huge hit for me and glad I have access to this now that Trillium is out of my reach. Made our way to the Gas Light Sunday for the later part of the launch party and dinner! Ipa's for $3.50 was a friggin steal! Saw the group there and chatted with them for a bit. Very appreciative of the success so far. The bottle mock ups look cool too. Get there soon if you can!

    Last batch of Stoneface IPA was on par with any Vermont IPA. Wait did I just tell everyone that?

    Eh, I don't think you'll get the crowds or hysteria in their are like you do in VT and Boston. It's all good to spread the love. Shits bonkers

    I respectfully disagree. If there's one thing the beer community has shown is that if its a quality product, then they will come and they will come in droves. Regardless of location....especially for a quality IPA.

    Got to try this courtesy of BigStein88 in a small trade we did while in line for Lawsons. I was really impressed!

    Time will tell, but it will take some time for this one to really have pull. Not worried one bit living a few minutes down the road.

    I really liked there IPA, but thought the pale was even better.

    Haven't had their IPA personally, but I've heard a lot of people say this

    Both great, but the IPA had the characteristics I was looking for in the beer. (Yes I know PA and IPA are diff)

    The Pale definitely has a more intense hoppy/bitter character, but I'm with Jbrews as to which my palate prefers.

    Also, I've heard draft only distribution for the time being, which makes me sad.

    Anyone know how far out bottles are?

    Stopped in about a month ago and saw a prototype bottle being passed around the bar. Sounded like it'd be at Seacoast NH bottleshops in a few weeks. Hampton Falls Market, CBC Portsmouth, etc?

    I met the three guys who opened it a couple of weeks ago and they made it sound like they will be bottling as soon as possible. Probably waiting on approval of their labels from the state would be my guess.

    Had some more of their IPA on tap on Friday at Sonny's for $3 a pint. Best deal ever.

    My info came a few days ago from the distributor they signed up with, but he may have been misinformed or perhaps just referring to the first order or two after they signed.
