    Does the latest batch of Standard Issue (w/ galaxy) have a different label or is just differentiated by the batch number?

    sorry for the absence... getting a little worn down. trying to open new accounts, push out more beer, have no idea where our 2012 harvest hops are (if you know please tell us! we want to make ninja and unicorn beers), fix our plans for the bottle shop and get that moving forward, get a new brewhouse =) (due in april, 10bbl portland kettle works), and pray that our $1,500 95' astro van, the Bicentennial Falcon (has over 200,000mi) doesn't break down in the burbs on a beer run! we'll get back in the swing of things shortly once we close the books on 2012 and get a fresh start in 2013!

    thx for all the love, support, honest feedback, etc. our barrel program officially starts this year too!

    You guys should open up some FwB spots to get a reliable conversion van :wink:

    Looking forward to the upcoming year from you guys!

    here's the release/brew schedule for the next few weeks incase you were wondering:

    1/21 Hyper Dog
    1/21 The Reliquary Belgian Double Pale
    1/22 Santa vs Unicorn (hopefully you like the beer and will buy some, cuz stores are hesitant to buy anything x-mas related past x-mas)
    1/22 Flower Child Berliner (no fruit)
    1/28 Unicorn Galaxy

    then in the tanks:
    Well Read Temptress
    Abduction for bourbon barrels
    Imperial End of Days for bourbon barrels
    Raspberry Chocolate Abduction
    Unicorns Revenge
    Ninja vs Unicorn
    Quintessential with Amarillo
    End of Days
    Jones Dog
    Brotherhood
    Last Kiss
    Smoked Porter
    North & Western... that's about as far as my calendar goes

    We had Flower Child last Saturday.. damn good.

    I'd remark it's very much more like the base berliner from the homebrew days.

    Careful...barrel aged variants may be limited and were initially to be made available only to FwB folks.

    <Looks to Gerrit to confirm quantity being prepared>

    I'll be stopping in to visit you guys at Pipeworks a week from Monday from the Twin Cities. I'll probably pick up a few glasses and maybe share a Darkness with you. :slight_smile:

    I am almost positive later last year PW said there would be FwB only releases upcoming, and I would think the BA beers would be FwB only. FWIW
