    Last update seven days ago. Will post as news breaks. Still waiting on those Barrel Aged variants hinted at quite a while ago...

    Looks like they released Nisperos de Batata, a Puerto Rican Sweet Potato & Toasted Coconut Ale.

    So far the glassware has pretty much been for the kick starter backers and the Blue Lady incident. I believe they will have some for general public once they open thier bottle shop (this spring, hopefully?).

    They do have glassware. Stop-in when they're there during the week and bring a beer to share. I'd be willing to bet you'll walk out with a glass. They're pretty generous and congenial guys.

    West Lakeview Liquors was also selling their snifter/tulip type glass a while back. Might want to check there.

    Nisperos de Batata really surprised me. I didn't expect it to be that good. I really enjoyed it.

    was yours a pinch undercarbonated? I dont think it was forced carbonated so this one might need another week or two. Either way, it was delicious. Between this and the Kona Brown thing, this was the week of toasted coconut at my house.

    Perhaps a bit now that you mention it. But yeah, very delicious.

    They're not working 27/7 like they were 11-12 months ago. From what I was told they work pretty "normal" business hours. So on Friday at 4 they had probably already done the same thing you and I had - left work :wink:

    I'd suggest sending them a BM a couple days in advance and confirm that they'll be around when you're planning to stop by.

    I was pleasantly surprised with Abduction. I grabbed a bottle by chance and it blew me away. Definitely one of the best hoppy (non bitter) Imperial Stouts I've had. Balance all around.

    I was aliitle nervous about giving money to kickstarter, but it turned out great and i'm glad to help them out!
    I enjoy all the beers especially the IPAs.
