Do you know why they sold the first keg to Zocolo? Seems like there are more popular/better places that could have gotten the first keg.

Have had 4 or 5 of their brews. Everyone one is fantastic. Their coffee brown ale was legitimately one of the best brown ales that i have ever had. Great beers & great people. Theyll do really well. I havent had better brews from this state.

yeah, they are going all out right from the beginning

I've tried their pale ale, the dark lager, and their amber

I really enjoyed their pale ale, and their amber was above average for the style

Think the coffee brown was a thing they did with rhino coffee. I don't know if that's in their everyday lineup.

Awesome. Something to look forward to the next time I visit.

Anybody have any idea if they have immediate plans for bottling/canning?

They to plan on canning, but I'm not sure when that will be. I would assume next year at some point.

I must try this one. Rhino is one of my favorite coffee shops.

Sweet. Thank you.

I'm a sucker for the coffee stouts and things of that nature, so that coffee brown ale sounds especially delicious.

Good news!

Anyone familiar with their production output and chances of seeing it down south?
