Had one at lunch with Nash, X and Timmy G, it's very good, especially with the hop oil on the back end. You won't be disappointed.

Yeah. It's good. Reminds me a bit of Cantillon's Kriek. Nash said the next version will have much more Haskap, which will not hurt it. He gave us a small sample of the hefe to compare, it was completely different.
Brewing right now: whatever is going on tap at Stillwell in a few weeks.

We'll see as the flavours meld and progress. Typically a beer like this is aged for months after coming out of the bbl so yeah, we'll see. If it's tasting decent next week i may tap a keg of it on Friday or Sat :cheers2:

New hefewiezen is on tap today! :spilly:

It seems as though the most recent update to http://www.rockbottombrewpub.ca" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; has caused some issues with the site... might want to check it out. None of the links work for me and the menu bar is hidden by the text from the main page.

Anyone know what the deal is with the Growlers at RB? I saw them there a few weeks back but I was in a hurry and didn't get to ask. I'm headed into the city today and would love to take back some of that unreal IPA.
Nova Prime Taproom
Tap 1: Festa Brew Scotch Ale
Tap 2:
"Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain -
Quaintest thoughts - queerist fancies
Come to life and fade away;
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today." ~ Poe
