We sure f**king did!

Looks interesting. Good luck to these guys! I will stop by and support them if I am ever in the neighbourhood.

Going to stop by there next Saturday!

Very cool....was following these guys, happy to see their beers are now a reality!

Can anyone say if they have tried them, and if so how are they?

The Hot Pants IPA was OK - reminded me of Spearhead Hawaiian. I was quite impressed by the Midnight Paddler. Very tasty.

i've met the boys at Brauhaus and some Whitby beer meet-ups. all good kids, they are.

this Friday, i'm going to their tasting at Buster Rhinos. wicked BBQ plus beer? fuck yeah.

i'll report on the beer, kind of sort of, when i taste it. they brew styles that aren't my favourite, so my opinion would be pretty subjective.

stopped in Saturday, all they had left was the ESB. It was a very well made ESB, lots of toffee and biscuit, with decently bitter finish, and at $6/bomber a reasonable price point. I expect they may be a bit thin on availability until they get a reasonable handle on their sales volume.

What's there retail availability look like?

When are they open? What's left?

I'd tweet them to get a quick response on the stock levels. Brewery hours are Tuesday to Saturday 11-7 and Spencer is running his homebrew store (Brewer's Pantry) out of the same location
