Triple Crossing Brewing Co.

1 location should do the trick. They do a great job keeping their website updated with what's available on draft and cans at both locations. If it's a release outside of their normal flagships (Falcon Smash, Paranoid Aledroid, etc) they will release the cans at their Fulton (Hatcher St.) location on Friday's and then may have those cans available at both locations on Saturday. Keep tabs on their fb page leading up to your trip and you will see if any special releases are coming up.

 

I went to both locations a couple weeks ago. I ended up leaving the Fulton location because after I sat down at the bar, I was completely ignored for about 15 minutes until I flagged someone down and asked what I had to do to get a beer. It turns out you have to stand in a single-file line, which is a shitty system and nobody bothered to tell me, so my nerves were rackled. The downtown location was nice, I sat down at the bar and the friendly bartender asked me what I wanted and proceeded to serve me, just like every other bar in the world. One thing I noticed is that they do have slightly different beers on tap, and while it looked like Fulton only fills grolwer, the downtown location also fills crowlers.

 

Ah yes. Good point. Completely forgot about that. Last time I was down there was for the Ascension release and I had to stand in this long ass single line for drafts and then go to the far right of the bar and stand in a totally separate line to grab cans. One POS for each.

I definitely agree about the Downtown (Foushee St.) location being much more customer service friendly. I went there on a Saturday for Sanctuary, walked right up to the cooler, grabbed cans myself and then sat down at the bar to have a draft pour. Settled up for both when I was ready to go.

 

the 2 times I've been to Fulton we just sat at a table and a waiter took our drink orders

 

Same here. Also to note, apparently they just pool the tips and split them later so any server can take any request of yours.

Was there earlier today for the release, heard lots of good things about the collab.

 

Went around 1pm, it was busier than I expected to be inside, but no line for cans. Grabbed a case, half RRR half SV.

Real Recognize Real is drinking great right now and I think it will be even better in a week. Triple Crossing is probably my favorite brewery right now. Everything I've had has been great to phenomenal.

 

Per their Instagram 35 min ago: 35 cases of collab and 5 cases of Surprise Valley left

 

Sold out of a Surprise Valley. 40 cases of Real Recognize Real left. Kudos for the 1st first day sell out! Well deserved!

 

Ah bummer, I had hoped to get some of both cans over the weekend, guess you can't sleep on triple crossing anymore.
Good for them.

 

Per their Instagram, 15 cases of the collab will be available today.

 

I'm guessing they will lower limits next big release. 2 cases per beer is a ton.

 

Agreed. The past few releases were same limits and they were not nearly as slammed as yesterday so they will learn from this and make adjustments just as all great breweries do.

 

Guess there's a Widespread Panic fan over at Triple Crossing, nice.

 

Agreed. Not sure about you, but when I was there at 1230 I was watching people routinely walk out with 2-3 cases, not that I blamed them.

 

The only other time TCB sold out or came close to selling out in a day was with Ascension and that was mostly because it was over the holidays. After that they basically started setting two case limits.Never was an issue until yesterday, and they probably could have forseen this, but good for them for putting out consistent high quality products and finally getting some recognition for it. Happy for them, but selfishly a little bummed because Fulton is five minutes from my work, and TCB has been flying under the radar for far too long, and I enjoyed that.

 

8 cases of Real Recognize Real are left at each brewery. The new limit is 3x 4 pack per person. We will fill crowlers once draft is done Downtown at $13 a piece. No growler fills of either DIPA because of limited supply.

 

I got to try both Surprise Valley and Real Recognize Real on draft yesterday. Both were amazing. I think I liked Real a little better. It reminded me of Falcon Smash but creamy.

 

RRR was drinking incredibly after a few days in the can. One of the best IIPAs I think I've ever had.

SV was no slouch, but I give the edge to RRR.

 

Got two cans of each so looking forward to trying them. Hoping they have some good stuff on draft this weekend when I get up there, I want to bring a couple crowlers home as well.

Is Falcon Smash more of a typical IPA than NE style?

 

Speaking for the latest batch in cans, it's somewhere in the middle. It's definitely hazy and has some of the NE qualities. I think it's great.
