Message Ernest P beers 9435 º places 229 º 18:39 Thu 9/12/2013 Originally posted by TAR The IPA is okay, too, but the rampant dirtiness in a few of their other products (Anvil ESB, Old Numbskull/BA Old Numbskull, Wee Heavy, most of the Decadence series) has left me scratching my head in befuddlement. Many of them tend to be underattenuated. So it goes. Agreed, but it has been a long time since I’ve done reviews, so I certainly want to retry a few...there’s always a chance things have improved. I wonder what sort of prices they will go for here.

Hopefully people will vote with their dollars and boycott this silliness. Even if the beers happened to be great, which they are not, this is str8 wacky.

Message notalush beers 7124 º places 452 º 20:43 Fri 9/13/2013 Hey you guys! TRVE is releasing a SOUR ALE! And they’ve started a "barrel aging program!" Yippie! http://blogs.westword.com/cafesociety/2013/09/trve_brewing_will_bottle_its_f.php

Hey now, would you be enjoying Epic Wit right now if I hadn’t been a guinea pig? Or how about River North 1st Ann? Even average breweries sometimes pull a Homer. And yo, $6 is like 60 cents to me, fine sum1 else 2 be yo guinea pig. I sure as heck ain’t gonna bother with those $14 bottles now, though...especially given how poor Horny Devil and Wee Heavy were the last time I tried them.

Tonight I enjoyed another bottle of Epic Wit. You are my favorite guinea pig on the north side of Boulder!

"...says Nunns, who got advice from two of Colorado’s foremost sour beer experts, Jason Yester of Trinity Brewing and Chad Yakobson of Crooked Stave." This reminds me a bit of the brewer from BRU saying he learned stuff from Upslope. Esp. the mention of Trinity, which is the butt of jokes across the country (world?) over the whole 7-day "gueuze" fiasco. Just in case you missed this:
