Guessing it never had a chance because of the name of the brewery, not the liquid in the bottle.

I had the beer and gave it a chance, like i do all their beers. It wasn't good. I'm sorry that offends you, but they don't make much of anything that is above average. And like i said, IN MY OPINION.

I'm not going to pretend, though, that they are doing something incredible over there just because they are local (not saying you do eaither). I give them a chance. Their beer doesn't speak to me. I use to like their coffee porter but the last time they made it, it was too thin for my taste. Just because it's local doesn't mean it deserves my money. I'll give them more of a chance because they are local, but so far, they havent' done anything to earn my business. Again, that is my opinions of them. Drink their beer all you want.

It was a better gose than a couple of the more popular in state breweries that I won't name.

I'm not aware of other gose's made in state. The gose's/berliners i've been drinking have been mostly out of state. Prairie, Terrapin, Sierra Nevada, and Grimm when i can find it, is all superior to that shite Tin roof put out, IMO. Why? Because i found it lacking in acidity and dull in flavor. Was it their best beer they made? I dunno, i like it better than most of their other stuff but that isn't saying much.

ETA: And don't take this as i'm fussing at you. These are my opinions of the beer and the brewery.
