    Oh this is a nice session brew... raised glasses while Yield - Faithfull filled the air sound...

    ONCE poured, an EVEN FLOW of nice DEEP golden ale will prove to come ALIVE with a quickly dissipating champagne head. Soon a GARDEN of berry aroma will RELEASE, undoubtedly from the BLACK currants. Mouthfeel is super clean and internal carbonation is super low which leads to an almost creamy texture & viscosity. Taste has a slight sweetness, yet currants are not at all overpowering. Hops are low obviously at 20 IBUs (International Bitterness Units) so don't expect to be bitten by bitterness... Not at all malty either... Great balance in my opinion for a PJ fanatic's beer. A Belgian style taste is more or less non existent which it fine by me, maybe it's the fine carbonation that stemmed from Belgium. The bottom of an empty glass comes too soon, i could drink OCEANS of this ale on any PORCH.

    Thanks Dogfish for this PJ20 and thanks PJ for the last Twenty...

    A drink that JEREMY wishes he was old enough to enjoy...WHY GO with anything else?

    There, I finished TEN for you.

    Does anyone know the best way to keep the label from peeling off? The place I purchased Faithfull Ale from came refrigerated (not sure if this is how most locations carrying it are). The thing is I want to keep one as a collectible and don't want the label to fall off. Most of the time when you drink a cold beer with a label, as the beer warms up, the label will absorb moisture and begin to get soggy and sometimes run the ink, fall off, or both. I don't want this to happen and am wondering what others have done to keep their Faithfull bottles in great shape. Thanks for any tips.

    I heard Dogfish is going to make another batch. I know that it sold out quickly around here.

    SPOTTED IN UPSTATE NY!


    Just got a call from my 'beer guy'. He said he was just delivered a case. Another friend of mine scored one yesterday in Buffalo.

    Cheers.

    I went on the Dogfish website and it listed a place that apparently sells it around here.
    Went out to the store and they didn't have it. :? :(

    REALLY hard to get around here.. and I'm in PA, neighbor to DE. Thanks to a tip from KillTaker, I was able to get it at a local 6-pack shop who was limiting it to 1 bottle a customer. I bought the last bottle, and that was 1 day after they got it. I called every other distributor in the area and they all said they had no chance of getting it. Long story short-- if you can get your hands on it, GET IT. Cause it's ridiculously hard to come by. And a HUGE THANK YOU to KillTaker for the heads-up. I love the people on here

    so they said they're making more

    did they say if it was bottles?

    or is it kegs?

    my 'guy' said that the distributer told him this is it.

    so either they are planning on not getting him any more which would make it even more limited, or its kegs only. Or I guess they could not know yet.

    Finally... some GOOD news from State College/Penn State!

    If any of you are looking for a case... as of this morning, Pletcher's in State College, PA received 14 cases. Not kidding. Got mine about a 1/2 hour ago, and I asked the guy how many he had left... he said 9.

    So... there are 9 cases still left there as far as I know. They are going for $111 a case. If you want one, and are close to central PA, cal 'em and have them set one aside for you.

    Just got some in Flemington NJ at Bourbon Street Wine & Spirits at 326 Rt 31.

    They ordered it after I told them about it. They have 6 or 7 bottles left and are selling it for $12.99.

    Regards, Andrew

    My lovely wife was kind enough to hit up the Whole Foods in Wayne, PA for me on the way home from work last night and they were sold out! They gave her the names of a few other places nearby that may have been carrying and ALL of them were sold out too!

    My buddy had a friend go buy me one in DE, but I can't pick it up for a while. Plus, I wanted my own stash of a few bottles.

    I guess I'll keep searching...
