    Interesting that it's bottles only. Have they done bottles before? Thought it was draft only the last couple years.

    I bet they have kegs but are saving them for the tap room.

    They do bottles all the time.

    Can't wait to grab some Saturday along with some Double Daisy Curter before the tour!

    To my knowledge it was growler only for the last few years.

    You are correct in that they do bottles all the time, but this is the first time they have offered bottles of Sticky Fat. Furthermore, this is the first time that Stick Fat has been anything other than growler only (always thought they wanted folks to drink the wet hop beer ASAP rather than holding onto bottles for too long).

    Cheers!

    So how is it? This doesnt really help explain this year's batch:

    "As a result, each year we work with new ingredients, in new amounts with new results. 2012 Sticky Fat is less of a groin walloping hop bat and more of a round embrace from The Bear himself. "

    This year's batch is more balanced. Nice roasted malts that were a definite afterthought in last year's batch. I definitely suggest picking one up.

    Solid brew! Got a few pours of it on the excellent tour then scored some Dub Daisy. Half Acre is such an excellent and down to earth place.

    They said the end of September last month. I'm guessing mid-October is a reasonable guess now.

    For anyone that happened to stop in yesterday evening, did they still have plenty of Sticky? How about Double Daisy?

    They said on the tour yesterday that in about 2 weeks is when the tap room will open. The guys were really excited about it and talked about it a lot. They plan to have 10 (yes TEN) taps going the whole time, all of them only their beer.
