Well, since most everything I know about brewing came from JZ’s “brewstrong” podcasts, I had to give this a try. It wasn’t easy getting some, as I live in Washington State, but I thought it was a very nice red ale. Which, is one of my favorite styles. I hope Heretic starts distributing in Wa soon.
I want to try his beers very badly. As it is I have no hope for seeing any of them in Texas. For goodness sake I’ve never even tasted Pliny! :-[
Well, depending on your motivation level, try this:
They’re out of the Russian River. But this site has been bookmarked. Thanks!
I think Heretic will be pouring at NHC…did you get a ticket?
that’s a cool site. I will have to peruse that more at my leasure. Thanks! the valentine dinner seems like a great deal at 35.00 per person! perhaps weazletoe should take his lady there!
Don’t get too excited Euge. Read the shipping policy first.

It’s interesting that Wa is on that list. I live in Wa, and they delivered to me.
I’m in Virginia. I didn’t read the shipping policy ahead of time. When I put in my address at checkout it said, “Sorry, no can do.” Or words to that effect.
Worth a shot to try it I guess if they haven’t updated the that statement in awhile. I imagine they’re trying to get more states added as they go along.
Not as far as I know.
I was told by Jamil’s secretary that they were 95% sure they were going to be there. I’ll be getting an email shortly to confirm that but I do think he will be there pouring. 
OTOH, Tom has the inside line on what breweries the WA liquor commission will allow.
I’m sure Tom will chime in on that soon enough.
I chimed in with a “Not as far as I know” 
I asked the pro-night guys to put together a google doc with all of the info on confirmed/tentative breweries, but since they have day jobs they haven’t done it yet. Although I know for a fact one of them was on TV today doing a beer/food pairing for a local daytime show, so clearly he’s slacking!
The main problem for Heretic (or any brewery) is that they need to be posted in WA - if they can’t legally bring the beer to WA then they can’t serve it.
So Tom, does that mean my 10 remaining bombers of Evil Twin are contraband?
LOL.
It really is a very solid Red Ale. Nice head, nice color, and quite tasty.
Definitely contraband Mic. Send me one or I’ll report you!
Well, ok, not really contraband depending on how it got into the state.
Thanks for the information on that Tom.
Your reply implies that Heretic isn’t posted in WA…right?
That’s my impression, otherwise they’d be sending their beer here for consumption. I could be wrong though.
OK.
I’m still waiting for an email from Heretic.
They’ve been in touch and I gave them the facts as I know them. We’ll see what happens.
