Every batch they made last year, they had to dump. They finally made a batch this year in May. You might be able to find some bottles, but mostly it's in kegs:



They should be making more soon for an early fall release.

The taphouse down in Gaithersburg has it. I went down last Friday when they announced it. The crazy thing is they had gotten a case of bottles earlier in the week and they were pouring 4ounces per person, for a higher than normal price, and you had to have a golden ticket in order to get any. They sold that out in no time and the place was packed. Then like 4 days later I'm there drinking it on draft, at happy hour, and loving life.

The whole point of the bottles is to let it age. If I get a 4 pack, I'll drink one per year.

Or I'll drink one, then I'll get tipsy enough to not resist drinking another, then I'll be so drunk I'll slam the third in one sip, then I can enjoy the fourth while I wait for the ambulance to arrive.

Troegs Double Bock last night.

Not a light summery beer.

Just picked up some Blue Moon Summer Honey Wheat. It's nice, I like it.

Ah, the Troegenator. Fantastic fucking beer.

And, really, one of the few exceptions to the point I made earlier in the thread. Right there is a great malt-forward American-made beer that does not have an exaggerated hop aroma. More of that, please.

Actually, I'm probably not gonna go right into another stout. Probably should think about getting my end of summer / early fall beer. So either a some sort of dunkelweizen / weizenbock or maybe even a doppelbock. I'm gonna have to go down and check out their distribution book and see what I can get.

I realy never get tired of stouts. Its almost tragic that i got my hands on all that fritz and kens because 6 growlers really doesnt last as long as youd think and i know ill never get any ever again......

I just picked up an Abita Andygator Helles Doppelbock among other things for a fishing/music writing getaway weekend. Leaving today. Cant wait!
