Message RABinCO P beers 1511 º places 103 º 16:47 Mon 7/28/2014 Upslope was one of the first cuts. And it went deep. Made the mistake of buying a sixer of their IPA the first week here.
Message wchesser beers 2435 º places 44 º 17:39 Mon 7/28/2014 Shooooot. That ain’t nuthin. Be glad it wasn’t the Belgian White. You might have moved right back.
Message Ernest P beers 9435 º places 229 º 20:07 Mon 7/28/2014 Originally posted by RABinCO Hopefully this opens up room for improvement @ Upslope. Agreed. But... "Violette will be replaced at Upslope by Sam Scruby, who started there in 2010 on the canning line and has worked his way up doing a variety of jobs." So, don’t get your hopes up too high.

Maybe he has harvested some interesting yeast samples while scrubbing toilets?
