i feel like an asshole.
but at the same time, if you work at a craft beer store pouring expensive beer ... maybe you should learn how and the reason why to do it the right way. use the tube, fill till it starts to foam up. stop go pour a pint for another customer, come back fill some more. done.
anyway, DTC said they have a very special Imperial IPA they are tapping today, a guy i know pretty well wouldnt tell me, i asked if its hopslam and he said it is way better but he wouldnt tell me.
---------------------
called DTC, figured they would tell me the name of this secret imperial once they tapped it .. they said they couldnt tell me the name bc the brewer made them promise not to so the brewer wouldnt get in trouble with other beer stores ... basically, you try it and if you like it, get a growler fill .... this is odd. i left my growlers at home.

Don’t sweat it. You are paying good money for that beer, and you want it poured correctly. There is nothing wrong with that. Did you ever find out what IIPA it was? I never did make it to Mt Airy for Lunch.

RM - Nice haul. I have a buddy going to Minneapolis soon. Asked him to bring back any Surly he can. Sucks is always a good one. Jai Alai is awesome. Hopslam was good on draft, didn’t get it out of the can. I’ll be partaking in that FD Coffee Porter at some point. And can’t go wrong with Space Dust.

What did you have? When I drink FD, I tend to stick with seasonal and rarities. I’m not a big fan of their year round stuff. I live about a mile from there and they host a monthly movie at the Weinberg Center. There is a sandwich shop around the corner from Flying Dog that you should check out next time
a.k.a. Friscos | A Gathering Place for the Hungry. Good food and tons of great beers available.
Here’s what I’ve had lately: rar Pulp and Northeast Nectar, BP Mango Even Keel, Devil’s Backbone Cran Gose, Otter Creek Couch Surfer, Left Hand Hard Wired Nitro and Wake Up Dead Nitro, Alpine Hoppy Birthday, Duet, Pure Hoppiness, Burley Oak Bulletproof Tiger, Tree House Alter Ego and Single Shot, Fresh Union Double Duckpin cans.
