Any chance anyone knows what the previous few weeks' American IPA Galaxy, Mosaic & Kohatu sitting in secondary is based on this week's email? Any chance it's LSY with a slight hop variation or one of the others still in the secondary?

Also, take note of the lactose IPA coming soon...

 

Dark Lager looks great. Don't think I'll be able to make it over Saturday, save some for me!

Nice to see Diamonds & Pearls in the pipe. I'd be happy to see a few styles other than IPA/APA coming up. I'd love for them to brew the ESB again.

 

I think it may have been the Froth that came out last weekend? hard to tell they'e been lax on the e-mails on and off, so I've lost track... they had crooked spoke adjacent on the in the secondary at leas 5-6 weeks ago, and it never showed up, so may not have even been accurate.

EDIT: Yes - Definitely Froth, which is on now...

 

stopped in last night.. didn't try this weekends new stuff, but did try Frog Brothers, which I wasn't crazy about.. the fruit kind of clashes with the yeast flavor and hops, coming off as almost paint-like...

Froth was really good, and latest batch of Lil Shimmy was really good... I noticed the ABV listed crept up to 6.0% even. It's always been 5.8% in the past... must've tweaked something

 

Wasn't crazy about Frog either, I think it could have used a bit more of the yeast flavor.

 

I managed to get over there and try the Dark Lager yesterday. Was happy I did, it's a nice change from the hoppy stuff they'd been putting out. I was looking at it as a Schwarzbier.

 

After stalking that beer for a bit, Froth lived up to my expectations.

Frog I felt like was really close. It just tasted old, but I did have it a week after it was tapped. Not sure if anyone had it the week it tapped and noticed anything different? I wasn't able to get the dark lager, but hope to get it this week.

Anyone have any details on their second anniversary party? I saw they responded to someone on Facebook or Instagram that they plan to have something (with glassware). I know it was held around this time last year and hope to make it this year.

 

last I heard it should be on May 12

 

Info just posted for the anniversary party next Saturday:

 

Yea. Doh. I was cleaning out the imgur account and deleted the post like a dummy.

I'm wondering if food costs will be additional to the entry fee. $2 for all that food seems like a pretty good deal.

 

if i recall correctly, and I may not because I had quite a decent amount of beer (that LSY variant last year was amazing) at the last anniversary, but the food was complimentary. My guess is the $2 "entry" fee to call it a "private event" means that the food will also be complimentary. I would def bring $20+ in cash just in case though.

Super bummed I am going to miss this, I hope the glasses hang around this year like they did last year. I also hope they're like a snifter/tulip type glass.

 

I was told that stricter regs (or at least enforcement) led them to charge a nominal fee to be able to call it a private event, so that they could still give the food away. Also prompted the 1 hour later opening..

hoping its not too crazy now that they've become more well known... it was a really nice set up last time.. food was great.
