    Check the reviews before you purchase the Bourbon Whangdoodle, off flavors and likely infected.

    Don’t get me started about the Coconut Knid, they should be ashamed for release that beer.

    It was definitely off - not a good beer at all - i had it on tap down there, and man, just tasted like they conditioned it on charcoal.

    Ugh - I haven't even had this yet - have a bottle downstairs - but the ratings make it look like it'll have you jonesing for a PBR.

    Oh man, that’s rough, I just picked up another reg BA whang last week. I’m local to one location & hadn’t noticed any friends checking in those draft pours that had an issue to alert me. But definitely looks like multiple bottle check ins with issues. I wonder if they will address it.
    Even when done “right” the Knids are usually polarizing, none of that surprises me. But seems universally the coconut is not good.

    I'm gonna give it a go tonight with my brother, boys (the Coconut Knid, that is) - wish me luck.

    So despite the rampant negative reviews of Coconut Knid and it likely being infected, Veil really hasn’t said anything about it? I can’t remember how much that bottle was but $25-30 is a good chunk of change to just pour down the drain.

    Thoughts!? It was a toss up between the Coconut Knid and my colonoscopy prep for worst of the year.

    It was bad. LIke really really bad. and there was legit zero coconut. Having gone through that colonoscopy prep before, that was worse, but maybe if i had to drink as much of the Knid as that stuff, it'd be a close a toss up. They had no business releasing this. Should have drained poured it themselves.

    “We will be closed today, 12/24, at our Scott’s Addition location for draft sales due to inclimate weather, we will be open for to-go orders and curbside pick up.

    !! IMPORTANT !!
    We will be temporarily transitioning our Scott’s Addition location to curbside and to-go sales only starting Monday 12/28 and will be closed for draft/on-premise consumption through the end of January. We want to spend a little more time focusing on our outdoor taproom experience at Scott’s Addition as our current set-up does not allow us to offer indoor service in a safe manner for both customers and staff. We hope to re-open for draft/on-premise consumption in early February and will update y’all if anything changes. We hope you will continue to support our Scott’s Addition location via curbside pick-up/walk-up to-go purchases in the interim and help support our amazing hard working team.”
