Last week: Rocket Science IPA back after long hiatus Mid-December: Fruitcake...The Beer Not mid-December but soon: First Frost Mid-January: The Common Good, a bourbon barrel-aged Kentucky Common with 100% North Carolina grain and fresh-pressed apples from Foggy Ridge Cider (premiering at the Raleigh Rare & Vintage Beer Festival) http://us1.campaign-archive1.com/?u=9047dfe2d903d24e5cc95d756&id=fcef0db0eb&e=78ef0a5da1 Look forward to them, peetoteeto!
love me some Fullsteam! i hope they start bottling more brews. chombers is one of my favorites of all time
True story. It'll be back next year, I'm sure. We brewed the beer with a malt that ended up giving us problems, and the result was a thin beer. Can't have a thin Imperial Stout, especially one named IGOR. So that bad boy got soured up and is aging in wine barrels. We'll see how Son of IGOR (or whatever we end up calling it) tastes around Halloween 2013. Cheers! Sean
Fruitcake? I'm intrigued...is it a brown ale? Winter-warmer? The Kentucky Common also has my interest....saw that was what is coming to the Raleigh Rare Beer tasting, one of the very few beers they've announced for the fest that I'm excited about.
Theyve really picked up their barrel aged output the last 12 months. But this all has me excited. Durham is really turning in to a good place for beer!
yes, it was nice to see Chombers made it to Charlotte...we didnt get the cool orange wax top tho....(actually much easier without it, but it was a nice touch)
Yes indeed. We'll have 800 bottles for sale. If you have a specific store you'd like to see it in, please let me know. But the usual suspects will likely have it: Sam's, Tasty, Bottle Rev, Bottle Mixx...
Awesome! Look forward to picking it up at Tasty when it comes out! I love what you guys are doing, keep the great brews coming! Really excited to her you guys are going to start doing more sours.
not to add to the depression, but bottles of Fruitcake were running really low as of like 730 when I left.
looks like I may be SOL on bottles as I won't be by the brewery until Friday - any word on when it'll hit stores?
Just wanted to say thanks to Fullsteam for creating this beer. It's different than I anticipated but I think that is what I might like most about it. It's not a thick, overly sweet old ale. Instead it's a very drinkable old ale with a strong makers mark and fig presence. You guys nailed the drinkability of this beer. I really look forward to trying it from the bottle at cellar temp as I've only had it from your draft lines. Really well done though.
