Tasting Room Temporarily Adjusts Hours & Number of Visitors

As the brewery continues to grow and expand, we remain committed to ensuring that we provide the best customer experience while remaining in-line with regulatory requirements. We have therefore decided to temporarily adjust our Tasting Room times and occupancy while we research further into the best balance for all.

Effective today, Monday, 5/14, we will adjust our maximum number of Patrons to fifty (50) inside the building at any given time. We will also be expanding our weekend hours allowing additional time to help offset this limitation.

We appreciate your patronage and hope you will visit us during these new expanded times.  Please stay tuned for further updates as we transition through this process and strive to provide the highest quality in service, experience and outstanding craft beer made with pride.

Adjusted Hours Are As Follows:
  • Mon-Tue: 1pm – 6pm
  • Wed: 1pm – 9pm *
  • Thur: 1pm – 7pm
  • Fri: 1pm – 9pm
  • Sat: 11am – 9pm
  • Sun: 11am – 7pm

* Wednesday is Hump Day Happy Hour! It’s a round-up of great gourmet food trucks ready to serve amazing food to pair with our beers! A different line-up every week!

Box Set Track 3 Releases Saturday, March 17

Double Sour Special Hours: Red Poppy Releases Same Day

This Saturday, March 17, 2012 will mark the release of our third track in our now famed Ultimate Box Set series.

Track 3, a tribute to AC/DC’s head-banging anthem Hell’s Bells, is a pale sour and the second of our Remixed Tracks. A blend of Mellow Yellow and Phunky Duck barrels, the beer details (blend, ABV, liner notes, album art, etc.) are on the website here.

special notes: Red Poppy will also be released on March 17, so we are doing things a bit differently. PLEASE READ BELOW FOR MORE INFO.

  • Extended Tasting Room Hours: Because we are expecting larger than usual crowds (two releases and St Patrick's Day), we will be opening our doors from 9am to 7pm. The MIHO Gastrotruck will be onsite with breakfast specials from 8am – 11am and a special lunch MENU from 11am -7pm.
  • Beer Reservations: We know many will want both Track 3 and Red Poppy, so we will begin IDing and wristbanding people for the beers at 8am. If you arrive early (i.e., before 9am) to ensure you get bottles, please line up on the loading ramp leading into the tasting room. As with previous releases you will be able to pay in line and be issued a ticket/receipt that ensures your allotment.
  • Allotments and Restrictions:
    • Track 3 – As with all Box Set releases, the beers must be consumed on site, same day. Bottles may not be carried out. The bottles are 375ml and are $15 each.
    • Red Poppy – As with past releases, Red Poppy is also 375ml bottles; $15 each with a six bottle per patron limit.(Yes, you can take Red Poppy away with you).
  • Special Taps: Red Poppy will be on draft as 4 ounce tasters only. Tasters are $3 each.

Because this event happens to coincide with St Patrick's Day, we expect larger that usual crowds after noon. If you wish to avoid the crowds and be assured of getting bottles of Track 3 / Red Poppy, we recommend that you arrive earlier rather than later.

Box Set Track 2 Releases This Saturday, February 18

This Saturday, February 18, 2012 at noon we’ll be releasing the second track in our year long Box Set series.

Track 2, an ode to Led Zepplin’s epic “Stairway to Heaven”, is the first of our Rexmixed Tracks. It’s a blend of Bourbon Angel’s Share spiked with peaches, Cuvee de Tomme and Project X (our wild fermentation project). A heavenly brew indeed.

As with all the Box Set releases, this is a very limited beer, so the release process will be different than the usual. We’ve posted everything you need to know on the Box Set page here.

You’ll find full details on Track 2 (the beer blend, ABV, liner notes, album art, etc.) on the website here.

See you Saturday!

Box Set Track 1 Releases This Saturday

Press Play and Let's Rock

This Saturday, January 21, 2012 will mark the release of the first track in our ultimate Box Set, kicking off a year-long series of super-limited beer releases inspired by those great anthem rock tunes of our youth. (Feel free to wave your lighters in the air… for you younger kids that’s what we waved at the concert before cell phones with big screens.)

Because the Box Set beers are so limited, the release process will be different than the usual, so we’ve posted everything you need to know on the Box Set page here.

On the same page you’ll also find details on Track 1, (aka Runnin’ With the Devil), which is one of the “Fresh Tracks“. It’s aged in wine barrels and spiked with Cab Sauvignon grapes and our own Brett cultures. Definitely a devilish brew…

Side note: because of some labeling “issues” with Track 1 (we’ll let you guess what they were), this release has a special label that will appear only on this version of the brew. The Full Box Set release of Track 1 will have a different label in line with the others.
