    Am I crazy or have bottles been mentioned here? Anyone heard anything about when these may appear?

    This is correct.

    I really dug Witless Aphorism. Cherry is very present in the aroma and flavor (and color) without being obtrusive. ABV is well hidden. Alex is the master of easy drinking high ABV beers.

    I'm VERY impressed with what he's done in such a short time. Very talented brewer and a nice guy. He and Conclave will continue to get my business (for what that's worth).

    Hello nice NJ folks....never been to Troon and Brick tavern. Can somone please clear ups some things....

    Which is accurate for the tavern tap list- Troon's list or the beer menu on Bricks site?

    Troon's growler list hasn't been updated since 3/1...is it still accurate?

    Also don't see Vaporwave offered at either location....

    Not sure about the bar but in his post yesterday in Instagram they said that the only things thatd be on for growlers at the brewery this weekend would be Vaporwave and Witless Aphorism.

    Just a heads up he said the snow delayed his growler selovery so if youre going for fills you gotta bring your own growlers.

    Tavern's list is usually fairly accurate for what's available for small pours, flights, and full pours at the tavern.

    Troon's website or Instagram are usually accurate for what's available for growler fills at Troon. I find Instagram to be the most frequently updated social media used by Troon.

    It's typical for things that have already run out for growler fills at Troon to still be available for pours at the tavern. And sometimes things that are brand new for growler fills at Troon are not yet available for pours in the tavern. If that makes sense.

    Think of it this way, all Troon beer begins where it's brewed, at Troon. So Troon will always have the newest stuff ready to go. Kegs make their way over to the tavern, and are put on when lines open up. So there's a slight lag at the tavern. (which can be a good thing if there's a beer you missed or want again that's already run out at the brewery)

    Thanks guys... I always forget about instagram. I'll check that in the future.

    Vaporwave looks like it was dryhopped with an infinite amount of hops for enternity, so that's good....

    Drinking some Vaporwave now and am enjoying it. I'm a sucker for Simcoe and this highlights the hop very well.

    Anybody try Vapo? Thinking of doing a trip next week. If it's like a low ABV DDH Forever Simcoe, I'm game.

    If you like FS or its amped up counterpart (I love both), I believe you will enjoy Vaporwave.

    If you told me it was a single FS I'd probably believe you......

    Made my first visit to Troon this past weekend. Vaporwave is a nice surprise. Complex and full bodied for a pale ale and smooth as can be. Feel like this guy has some serious potential.

    Grabbed a growler of Vapor Wave over the weekend, but didn't pop it until last night. So easy drinking, I gulped the heck out of it! I loved it.

    That's how I felt about Phone Tag. I crushed a 32oz of it way too easily.
