Re: Official Rockbottom Brewpub Thread
Having recently finished trying them all, I'd say the Jackstar Stout and Fathom IPA are the standouts; the others are mighty tasty, too, but I really liked those two in particular. Looking forward to having Rockbottom as my post-work pick-me-up destination!

Re: Official Rockbottom Brewpub Thread
I had to reread your sentence far too many times to understand it. haha. I am heading down with a friend of mine, and what time we go depends on him, so I can't really advertise for company. If anyone else is there though, I'll definitely say hello!KMcK wrote:Are you advertising for company or just thinking out loud?CorneliusAlphonse wrote:Finally going to make it down to try them.

Re: Official Rockbottom Brewpub Thread
BTW after some of you were looking in the kettle at the element, the next round of guys were looking in there and asked what the smell was
There's been some trub packed in around the base of the element since the last brew. Can't really see it or hose it out so I'm off to buy a pressure-washer, hopefully with a good long wand
