Re: Official Rockbottom Brewpub Thread
There's a full batch so I'll say yes. The coffee infused portion is a 50 L keg so it'll likely be gone fairly quick I'd think.redoubt wrote:![]()
Nash -- will the Belgian and it's coffee version be on tap for awhile?
-Keely.
When are you coming up???

A Nash hammered BIPA? Damn...... Why are the politicians worried about an oil pipeline. We should have an inter-provincial beer pipeline dammit.

Not to worry Sandy. Just a couple weeks for our chef to get accustomed and we will open for weekend days.

Sandy, would it be worth replying to that email if you still have it and asking if it is still on?GAM wrote:Shane's responce.

I guess we are going to Stillwell for lunch on Saturday at 12 for an hour if you feel like joining for a pint. We could get some samplers and do some amateur tastings ...would rather go to the RB if it was open though, which it isn't

I'll be monitoring both of my animals as the wife will be drunk at my mothers for a girls weekend (she has far too many of these lol). Enjoy, wish I could attend.

Re: Official Rockbottom Brewpub Thread
The word is not till October. I'll keep nudging and pestering, but I will not be there for lunch many Saturdays myself. So once again we need to step up if we want it.
Stillwell it is.

Had a couple of the pints of the Belgian IPA yesterday and thought it was really good. Much more easy drinking than I thought it would be. Will order again the next time I am in.

Re: Official Rockbottom Brewpub Thread
Had the coffee infused on Wednesday, and the regular BIPA on Thursday. Both very good. Surprising how the coffee appeared to remove all traces of the Belgian characteristics.

BIPA = Belgian IPA. I'm thinking it was probably the Black IPA that was gone.KMcK wrote:Huh?
