This Wednesday (19th), Friday (21st) and Saturday (22nd), during regular brewery hours we'll be selling Virginia Hefeweizen growler fills for $6.00 and 22oz bottles for $3.00 while supplies last. Hefeweizen Party Pigs will be $30.00. This is the last weekend for our summer seasonal. Our next seasonal, the Spiced Winter Ale, will be available November 12th.

We ordered 2 versions of our US Navy growler. The ones that say "Not for Self, but Country" have arrived. The other version with "Eternal Father, Strong to Save" will arrive the first week of November (maybe earlier).

USMC, US Army, USCG and USAF Growlers are also currently in stock.

More Fall 2005 Otoberfest mugs are on the way. We will send out a notice when they arrive and you can redeem the 1/2 off price in our retail store during regular brewery hours.

I'm beginning to pick up on a theme at B&G....

;)

[chazwicke]

LOL! Have you been there yet? They make decent brews. Small brewery though.

[Beefsteak]

Does anyone have any more feedback on this brewery? I'm thinking of going down there this weekend to pick up a sixtel. Their pale ale seems to have decent reviews on beeradvocate.

[WiseGuy]

I've been there twice. They throw a nice Oktoberfest party with plenty of food and beer. Went down a month or so ago for a tour. Pretty decent tour and you get free tastings. Most of their beers are very well done. The Pale Ale and Stout stand out IMO. I still have a bottle of their Impy Stout. Definitely worth the drive down. Small, but very cool operation. When we were there, the line to fill growlers was out the door.

[chazwicke]

I've been there several times. Jeff is a nice guy and the brewery is small but it is a nice tour. I have some pictures somewhere at home. (I'm at the office now) If I remember I'll try to post a few over the weekend.

I am hoping that they have the seasonal Chocolate Raspberry Stout again this year like they did for last Valentines day - that was fantastic.

[Beefsteak]

According to their website, they began selling the Chocolate Raspberry Stout on Jan 24th.

[zoom6zoom]

Thanks, I missed it somehow when I was checking the site last. I'll be there Wednesday to get my growler refilled.

[Beefsteak]

Just got back, it was pretty busy there.

Picked up two bottles of the Chocolate Raspberry Stout, one bottle of Fred Red, and sixtel of Stonewall stout.
