We were the first to run out at Georgetown. That fest is a personal favourite of mine - we will be bringing twice as much beer next year.
We've got a number of pretty exciting things coming out soon. As I type this, we've just put Double Kapow! on tap here at the brewery, the first in our new 'Revolution Series' of specialty beers. Then October 15th is the release party for Bourbon Barrel-Aged Hearts Collide Imperial Stout, which is coming in four versions:
1) Hearts Collide 2016 aged 9 months (BASE BEER, NO BARREL)
2) Bourbon Barrel Aged 9 months
3) Bourbon Barrel Aged (w/ Coffee)
4) Bourbon Coffee (on Cask!)
More info:
Also in October will be the second Revolution Series beer, a dry-hopped sour, release day TBA.

Will these be in bottles? I'm confused if it's tap only

Revolution Series beers will be both on tap and in bottle. Bourbon-Barrel Aged Hearts Collide Imperial Stout will be in bottles, but the coffee version and the no-barrel version will not.DeMarco wrote:Will these be in bottles? I'm confused if it's tap only

Hey folks,
Got another party happening at the brewery this Saturday afternoon - timed to the release of a new, heavily dry-hopped pale ale. Something with a little more bite than Armed 'N Citra, and bone dry. Tasting real nice out of the brite tank today.
Fool Hearts, who you may all know from C'est What, are playing here from 1:00pm - 4:00pm, and Young Animal will be serving food from noon to 5pm. Will also have a fresh batch of Unfiltered Pilsner in the fridge, and still got Hearts Collide, Double Kapow and Nosbeeratu on tap, as well as our regulars.

Hey folks.
Bourbon Barrel-Aged Hearts Collide Imperial Stout is coming back in bottles this Saturday. Last time it sold out in 4 days. We're launching it at our second annual Xmas party, with live music and an oyster station, and once again a coffee version of BBA Hearts Collide on cask.

Had a bottled Kapow! Previously only ever had it on tap and thought it was great west coast ipa! The bottled version held up and was delicious. Now can I keep getting fresh stock of this? Another story
Everytime I learn something new I forget something old...like that time I learned to make wine and then forgot how to drive...
surprised no one's talking about the newest DIPA, revolution 8. absolutely INSANE.
It's awesome, I agree.jeremyg wrote:surprised no one's talking about the newest DIPA, revolution 8. absolutely INSANE.
Agreed. Best IPA I’ve had in a long while.

Hop Cone Syndrome has made its return - first time since 2017, I think? - and it is drinking beautifully. Still available online and in the bottle shop. Well worth grabbing IMO.
