I think GD is gone, they onyl had 25 cases for sale yesterday and reduced the limit to 3 4pk per person, if i knew my brother in law was going to surprise me with some and wait online i would have had him get an extra glass...

I dont know, i had the same reaction to the can as i have had with growler pours of it, very boozy and slightly grainy... will try another can soon, everyone i know loves it. I think I get less booze from All Green Everything

Just called the Publick House. The Imperial Russian Stout is currently on tap at the Publick House. They were "not sure" about if and when bottles will be released.

 

[bizoneill1]

Hope it lasts til Saturday...

Without the hype driven release it will likely be there for a while.

[BDK82]

[marshmeli]

It's average at best, don't get your hopes up.

 

[marshmeli]

Not

It's average at best, don't get your hopes up.

not expecting great luckily. Just something local to try.

 

[sirsteve42]

Cant wait til yada yada yada is in bottles...

 

[cosmicevan]

it's not bad, just very artificial. like most of their stuff. it's actually exactly what i expected a bacon and maple beer to taste like from them. it's a shame that they don't just switch to real ingredients and techniques instead of artificial. each release they turn off a few more people. eventually no one will care.

Very good points and i agree... I also have had many problem with their bottles products, much, much different compared to draft... big turn off for me

How about that moore Nelson folks? Barrage does it again

 

[Hugebulge]

How is barrage? Its one of the closest to my house and I still haven't been there.

 

[sirsteve42]

It will give you a huge bulge!
Tribal cow. ..yada...famous last words. ..galaxy beast all awesome!

 

[zipper86501]

GSB - walked in to try the bacon/maple...walked out after THREE people behind he bar couldnt seem to care at all that we were waiting to order...after serving the 4th person that came up to the bar AFTER us we walked out...never again with that place

Barrage - great place, great people check it out. Last Tribal smelled like a coconut bomb but drank really balanced

 

[sirsteve42]

Back to barrage...be on the lookout for Moore Nelson batch 2...3 more hop additions but keeping the same abv 5.2%. Really looking forward to this one.
