    Was at the brewery last night. Saison was amazing esp at 4.8% and there aren't many available in sixers so +. White IPA and double IPA (still at a mere 7.2) were also fine tasty beverages. They also have a biere de garde on as their seasonal of the moment. Looking forward to trying the IPA and dry hopped pils. Igor should be out in Feb.

    Is the dIpa a hop bomb or a more balanced brew? Thanks

    I don't know for sure, but the one review I read (while it was fuzzy on the actual flavor, beyond "hoppy), described it as being on the darker end of the IPA color spectrum, so I wouldn't be surprised if it were a bit more balanced.

    Green Flash IPA also comes on the darker end of the IPA color spectrum but is a true west coast hop forward ipa with an abv of 7.3%. I'd be psyched if it were along those lines.

    Sounds like a pretty good setup. Does anyone know what their distro will be? Just CT to start or moving to Mass at opening or a little bit later?

    I b
    I believe they've mentioned on their FB page that they'll be CT-only for at least the first year, and will look into expanding distro thereafter. Without knowing what % of their overall capacity will be going toward their own lineup, it's hard to gauge just how many markets they'll be able to cover.

    They've got keg and bottle TTB COLA's for some City Steam Brewery's beers (inc. Naughty Nurse, Blonde on Blonde, Innocence).

    "Clipped" from the keg label:

    sounds like the White IPA is more like a Pale Wheat Ale, like Lil Sumpin Sumpin, as they aren't using any of the Witbier spices...

    Isn't a White IPA an IPA fermented with Witbier yeast? The yeast gives the spiciness in that case.

    I know the yeast gives it the hazy turbid appearance, and some breweries use the traditional spice profile of Witbier, not sure if the style have been given a hard and fast profile, at least not one I've come across...hopefully this one will taste good, that's all that matters to me!

    It can be anything. Hence why the naming convention is the suck.
