The Blackened IPA (or India Black Ale) cask is tasting pretty good, it's straight-up Fathom IPA blackened with Sinamar :cheers2:

Were you wearing a blue cap? I should post a picture of me as my avatar... I am the 20 something guy who is always at the bar when new beers are tapped.

Yup. Buck was the only person I reconised. I think he was hosting staff.

I need a BN t-shirt for ID.

Crystal and I are going over in a bit. Will the firkin still be on by then?

If not I'll have to finally hit up the RIS.

I know you Ben - you weren't sitting at the bar when the Wreckoning was tapped - Marta & I were sitting in front of the brewery window while Nash bitched about all the Brewnosers who weren't there...

I should have specified that that's a weekends-only commitment. This was the busiest week of school I'd ever experienced. And that's saying something. Nothing on the plate this week - who's tapping what & when is it happening???

I'll wear my Moosehead Cask Ale Club t-shirt next time I go to a tapping. How's that? (for now)

We got there around 8:30. Just a bit too late. The firkin blew about an ounce into my pint. They let me taste it at least.
