why against canning?
To me beer tastes very different when it sits in can vs being from a tap or bottle. Even the light beers taste different. There's an actual metallic flavor to them. Either that or I'm about to have a stroke

Cans are the best vessel for beer nowadays

Storage in CAN and poured into a glass is the best way to get the closest to cask taste.

I'm guessing Lone Pint is against canning because of smaller size. Selling Bombers is way more profitable per oz if you can sell em that way.

You would have to sell a 6 pack for like $30 to get the same return you do on the bombers that sell for around $10

that makes sense.

I'm ready for canned hop delusion this year. Hopefully it won't fall off so quick like the bombers

I go to Crowbar pretty often. Will have to check it out.

Just curious, why Crowbar and not Petrol Station?

(not a huge fan of Petrol but seems like a more likely spot to introduce new brew)

We participated in an event at Crowbar and they loved our beer so much they wanted to put it on tap that next day. Petrol is on our list...we just haven't made it over there yet.

Breweries I don't know why I'm not at more often:

i think they are doing very well actually. they are adamantly against canning and are producing as much beer as they want. basically, they have chosen this scale for now and YR pretty much sells out shortly after it hits the shelf.
I took the tour at Yellow Rose about a month ago, and they said they were talking about buying the lot next door and expanding. They initially set up the line so they could extend it pretty easily if they acquired the lot. I don't remember the time frame they said.

Moss, what do we have to do to get you into the Fly Saucer in Sugar Land?

What can you do??? Ask them to put one of our beers on tap!
I have not made it down there to meet with the fine folks at Flying Saucer SL but plan to do so in the next few weeks.

Cheers!

Made it out to 11 Below pint night at Growlers ToGo. All 3 of their beers were solid. The red IPA was my favorite. Looking forward to hitting their tour sometime soon.

A few blocks from my work seem just about right.

We opened just out side of city limits for good reason. Ask the folks at Brash and Town in City what they think about all the permitting/inspections they had to go through.
