I stopped by here last week and was pretty impressed with range on offer. I should go more ofen.
Currently drinking Hocus Pocus. On the can: "Nitro sour brewed with cherries, vanilla and Mandarina Bavaria. Shake before pouring." It's really tasty and unique.
Love the cherry-vanilla interplay and the soft nitro mouthfeel. I always thought you needed a widget in the can to execute a canned nitro beer. It's very mildly sour and smells like a cherry danish.
Also sampled the Balam which is a bourbon barrel aged stout with coffee and vanilla. It's fantastic and worth $15 IMO.

I was also there last week. They are pretty heavily skewed towards sour styles (albeit a diverse range of "sours") which isn't really my thing. My friends who do like sours have only positive things to say. I narrowly missed Balam, which is disappointing as I also don't get out that way too often. Was impressed with Unify or Die; I didn't think I'd enjoy a stout with cinnamon but it was really well integrated.

I agree. My previous visit left me with the same impression — an abundance of While Lies variants.. which are good beers. Also I wasn't blown away by Shumei. However Balam is one of the best coffee stouts to have graced my palate. Also enjoyed Devil''s Trill III (hazy IPA).Provost Drunk wrote:They are pretty heavily skewed towards sour styles
I grabbed a Unify or Die to go.. looking forward to it.
I went to Blood Brothers yesterday. First time in a very long time. The current space is great, especially while the weather is nice with how open it can be. I overheard a conversation between one of the brothers and a tradesman. It looks like they are putting in a canning line.
The current IIPA ‘Everyrhing Goes Away’ was excellent. The Black hand stout was nice too. I also thought the Thai wings were tasty. Lots of fish sauce, chilli and lime.
If only it were easier to park close by.....

Hey lads
Anyone know if there’s any way to get a full case of the Blood Brothers x Short Finger collab? It was a fruit punch semi sour, and I absolutely loved it. Bought it to go at Arabella Park and they sold out by the time I decided I’d spend $100 on it

Been enjoying the "Everything Goes Away" series from these guys (big triple ipa bombs).
