This sounds exactly like OnceMade, who only produced one beer before ending it.

Hey now. TWO beers. Night Shift AND Backlash.

Hey now. TWO beers. Night Shift AND Backlash.

I still have my wooden case/box. With the beers in it. I remember reading that neither of them were successful. May have to see if several years have done them any good.

 

[BravoDawg]

I mean, it involves Cigar City. It'll obviously be good, otherwise it would've been an El Catador beer.

Some of the El Cat beers were awesome last go around. Decoherence was amazing. Batch 2 DB Huna was trash IMO

Yeeeaaaaaahhhh no.

A buddy opened them last year, first one gushed literally about 3 feet out of the bottle all over the kitchen. Tasted horrible. Actually don't remember if we even bothered opening the second one at all after that disaster.

BA Dorothy still available Yikes. Must have been a lot of bottles this time around to last 2 weeks.

I know, I keep looking at the site like...

Decoherence was amazing, I agree. I also loved Hard Sauce.

• Edin Specialty Ciders

This is a good listen, in general, but goes in depth about the innovation cider house

WHERE. IS. THE. LUSTER??

While we are talking about top tier HF beers this is certainly the best stout I have ever had from them. Mouthfeel is incredible very silky. Very well nuanced and balanced overall. This is exactly what i want in a barrel aged stout, simple and not adjunct laden. The coffee is there but not punch you in the face strong. A true gem.

I'm not a ticker by any means but this is one of the best beers I've ever had. It's incredible

I think Angry Orchard has been there before. I am pretty sure 2015 they were

Ryan was there when he was with Virtue. I've had some of his AO stuff and he really is doing some great things.

Does the specialty AO stuff hit shelves or is it only at the NY Cider house?

Does anybody know where to get tickets for the Bus heading to FOFA from Barton?

DM me as we get closer. Still plenty of room.

I've only had it because MKtheGeneral went up to the Cider House... It's not that far. I need to go myself soon

I'm going to guess that somewhere in the past 922 pages this has been discussed, but . . .

Aside from Parker Pie, any recommendations on places people like post-FOFA? likely staying in Waterbury this year, and will have hit ProPig at least once (or twice or three times).

if you rather be back in the Waterbury area after FoFA... you'll have the option of the local 3 spots or on the way back in Stowe, you could do Doc Ponds or the Bench.

Looks like Wunderkammer Bier and Sweet Sound Oysters have been added for FoFA.

Wunderkammer is awesome. A super nice dude making strangely great wild beers. Pretty sure I had a beer from him that said it had "sticks and twigs" in it or something along those lines.

Awesome. Thanks Os! Trying to weigh options with my group -- Highly likely we'll be at Parker Pie.

CD18 was nice, just a little bit of funk.
And a glass of Edward on the house to commemorate what would have been his 100th birthday was much appeciated.

Kinda bummed that I didn't go up for the 7th anniversary, but had a great time nonetheless. (sipping on Flora didn't hurt)

Side by side for science...batch 1 is absolutely fantastic still. Batch 2 super hoppy (obviously), looking forward to see how it will develop over time. Love this beer.
