Pumking on cask, good lord.

Good job. Looks like some great stuff being offered there.

@elharlock yeah, I've done a couple event videos here but we'll have to do a tour of the bar video sometime.

man i got to say talk about a trio of outstanding stuff... i really had a tuff time deciding what i liked the best... the pumpking was so flavorful, while the 2x was so smooth and great mouth feel while also serving as just a great ipa, and the harvest was very rich yet hoppy at same time... and you wonder why i love the ruck... i also found the 2 x a little more thin, but cask tend to do that... that said i still found it so much better in cask because how smooth it was... cheers...

[Chad9976]

@jjrudy41 The Pumking was so much better on cask than from the bottle this year. I hope Mahars can get it on cask too.

[jjrudy41]

@Chad9976 it was good...

[infringinator]

southern tier just brewed it, chadd just reviewed it

[graph180]

I'm jealous! I would love to go to a place like that and enjoy genuine cask beer.

[Chad9976]

@graph180 Mahar's has more cask beers more often. It's really hard to find cask beer in this area, let alone most of America. I'm not a huge fan of cask beer because it tends to be too flat and mild for me but I'll always drink it whenever I can because it's so hard to find.

[StumpyJoeJr]

I love cask beer but IPAs and other hoppy beers suffer from the lack of carbonation. I'd love to have their Blackwater(?) series on cask.

[Chad9976]

@StumpyJoeJr yeah, totally agree. The 2XIPA was still excellent. Cask makes everything smoother, but thinner I find.

I'm not sure imperial beers stand up to cask well. I think I've only had a few of them and they've been very boozy. I like British pub ales on cask.

[whitecore1984]

Thats just a walk away from me!

[Chad9976]

@whitecore1984 so why didn't you come by and say hi?

[whitecore1984]

@Chad9976 I wish I did.
