    Lots of tears over the VI release. I had no trouble with checkout, got on a couple minutes early and refreshed the page a few times until the bottle showed up as a buy option. Changed quantity to 5 and checked out. On and off the computer in about three minutes.

    Anyone who was able to pre-order VI for local pickup, brewery just posted they will hold your bottles for 3 days (until Sunday). Pickup b/w Noon - 8pm each day.

    Paid $23 to ship it 1.5 hrs south to the Norfolk area. Definitely more expensive than I would normally be willing to pay but considering I didn't have to make the drive up I'm okay with it. I trade with a couple friends in Richmond and have shipped much bigger boxes than I am receiving from TC for less through UPS and it always arrives the next day too. Not sure what carrier they are shipping through so curious to see how long it takes to get the beer.

    Agreed on ease of purchase. Stock went live at 7:58 and was gone fast. The site didn’t stutter for me at all which was the only thing I thought might cause problems. Got the email by 7:59. Still surprised TC didn’t cut allotments in half, but eh.

    If you haven't opened a bottle of VI yet, make some time to get on that. TC knocked it out of the park on this one. These guys really don't get the love they deserve.

    Agreed. I was really impressed with how light it was while also giving me all the barrel. Really happy I got some.

    Going to take a gamble on the revamped Paranoid Aledroid. Looks considerably hazier. Came out to $59 for three 4 packs shipped to DC, which isn't tooooo bad. They're making the best hazy IPAs in VA right now, no contest.

    Triple Crossing is offering an extra 15% off to all first responders, healthcare workers and hospitality workforce today and tomorrow. Enter the discount / promo code “THANKS” during checkout. This works on all order types (pickup , delivery, shipping)

    P.S. Be honest. Only use if you are in the industries listed. Someone did ask if delivery drivers count (UPS, FedEx, USPS, etc) and the brewery did respond YES

    I ordered yesterday morning, and just finished putting all the cans in the fridge! Very impressed with how they handled the shipping! I will definitely order from the again!

    I agree, this and the recent Citra Triangles are outstanding.

    Battle Creek is back and ready for shipping / pick up! Pretty epic last couple days as Interstellar and Battle Creek are my two favorite IPAs they have released to date.

    Yeah great options - too bad you couldn't order both shipped, they only put up BC after Interstellar sold out.

    I know. That definitely did suck but from a moving product standpoint it was pretty smart on their part.

    Any words on how falcon smash and battle creek are tasting? I remember loving battle creek the few times I've had it. I'm in NOVA so I've been drinking Aslin lately but their IPAs are too inconsistent for me to buy regularly. Thinking a delivery is in order.

    Not sure about this batch of BC but the last round of FS was great. I wish TCB would give a heads up before a shipping occurred. Oh well.

    Foeder Aged Clever Girl
    - Sometimes, it ain’t all waiting on you… and with these mixed culture solera style foeders we’ve been shaping and guiding throughout the 5 years they’ve been in existence, we’ve learned that we regularly have no say in what happens, be it for better or worse.

    On a routine foeder top up, we elected to send some fresh Clever Girl wort hopped with Citra and Mosaic back in to the oak with hopes of steering the resultant beer back toward our desired fermentation profile. Upon sampling after the mostly uneventful refermentation, we noticed something deeply tropical had taken residency within the wood, and were pleasantly surprised to say the least.

    The interaction of various hop derived compounds in the presence of active wild yeast and bacteria had seemingly created something greater than the sum of its parts. We pulled our typical batch size of said beer into stainless and dry hopped it with the exact cocktail of hops that our beloved Clever Girl IPA receives and then laid the bottles to rest while they conditioned to an elevated level of carbonation over several weeks.
    After careful handling and delicate pouring, we taste effervescent notes of tropical pineapple mango, floral crushed tangy grapefruit, fresh navel orange mimosa, with a vibrant lactic lemon zest drying finish. An undoubtedly interesting counterpart to Clever Girl’s softer floral mango dark berry citrus melon like character. 6% ABV

    Clever Girl IPA - An incredibly light bodied, soft and dry American IPA with impressions of tropical citrus and dark berry floral aromas. Hopped generously with Citra and Mosaic hops. We will also be pairing a Clever Girl IPA release with this and both of these beauties are 6% ABV.

    We will be also offering a 5-pack that will include (1) 4-pack and (1) 750ml bottle. For shipping there is a max order of (1).
