Bottle Boom

We've heard of two instances where a bottle of Small Animal Big Machine has blown. We want to give anyone a heads up that if they still have a bottle or two, they should be kept cold. We don't think you have to wear artillery armor in your house, just be aware that warm environments could be an issue and this has happened.

Should your bottle have an issue, then take a photo, get a hold of us and we'll make it right.

Whooaaa Donkey!

Due to our chaotic packaging schedule and our plans to travel to the Great Taste Of The Midwest, we will be postponing the release of Galactic Double Daisy Cutter until next Friday 8/19.

We don't want to rush the beer and our ability to tenderly package it, so it must wait. We apologize for the delay and we'll see you soon.

Donkey In Space

We're still set go go for the release of Galactic Double Daisy Cutter next Friday 8/12.
Here are the details:

22oz bombers: $9.99
Growler refills: $17
Fill with new growler: $21

6 bottle limit per person.

We begin sales at the open of our store at 12noon.

Request: Don't cellar this beer. Buy it and drink it. Hoppy beers are meant to be consumed fresh out of the gate -- they don't get better with time.

In & Out

Some of you may have noticed that when shopping at the Half Acre Craft Beer Emporium that we've had a less than modern point of sale system and that speed was not our thing. If so, you'll be happy to know that we've replaced the rock, chisel and abacus with a state of the art, low-end POS system that will have you regulars gliding in and out of this joint with ease.

This becomes of particular importance on release days when lines tend to get long. It will take us a bit to wrap our heads around this technological dynamo, but once we do, speed is ours.

Galactic DD

TIme to dust off the old blog and drop some beer news.

We've brewed a variant of Double Daisy Cutter we're calling Galactic Double Daisy Cutter. This version highlights Galaxy hops, a bruiser grown in Australia specifically to make pallets numb.

We're giving this one some time to relax in the tank, but it's looking like it will land in our brewery store on August 12th. Should that change in any way, then we'll let you know. We will be selling bombers and growlers. We're even going to throw some wax on this one...

The label, seen above, is particularly galactic. What you can't see here is the metallic silver that will print in the gray areas. Two headed donkeys never looked so good.

Yours,

New Shirts

We know it's too hot for shirts of any sort, but laws and stuff say we should probably wear 'em. If you gotta wear a shirt, and you dig these styles, consider the following, freshly available for purchase at our brewery store. Please excuse Mr. Zombie Mannequin Torso.











By the way, we've got Smalls and XXL's of each of these. Hungry for more? Check out our online store, where you can find other styles for sale, all from the comfort of your very own sweat lodge; http://www.bluecollardistro.com/halfacre/categories.php?cPath=1198

This tantalizer for fellow fantasizers has long, lemony legs that stem from Sorachi Ace hops and spin-kick the pear-puree we threw in this brew, commanding savory submission.

22oz: $8.99

Growler Fills: $15 ($19 w/ growler)

Come…get 2 close 2 our FANTASY!
