      @scooter:

      What's interesting, I don't believe they are actually "brewers". With a little research, I believe they are beer "designers". While they have FB and IG accounts, I cannot find a physical address for them. There is no sign of an actual brewery or taproom. When searching them on Google maps, their location shows up in the same place as this brewery…http://www.octopibrewing.com/ . Whether the two of them are one in the same, or UA merely contracts Octopi to brew their beers, I do not know. UA does a lot of collaborations, as well. It's seems likely, UA crafts the idea, and the collaborator does the brewing. In the end, it really doesn't matter to me, as long as they keep the brews coming.

      I don't know anything about UA but I suspect they contract out production to third party breweries, kinda like Mikkeller and maybe Omnipollo. @emceeQ might have a better idea how the third party production/distribution model works.

        I believe this is more or less the same as the one Seul snuggles into Norway for me a few years ago. Absolutely stunning stuff

            This is was I get for being on the forum on my phone while putting toddlers to bed…  😃 Although Eli probably snuggles as well as he smuggles.

              Lambic, because it is a hot summer evening.

                That looks delicious @Aetas . I wish it wasn’t 9C and raining here, then I could join you in spirit. As it is I’ll be drinking porter under a blanket a bit later [emoji3]

                  That being said: I'm having a delicious double barrel aged stout here - I flat out refuse to acknowledge summer. Might pop the heating on actually. Get on my fleece sweatpants. Make a quiche. Some pumpkin soup.

                          Ugh, dammit, @neph93, I know you're not doing it on purpose, but that is really taunting me.  Not only is it 33°C here, but I just got back from San Diego, and I didn't have time to go to The Lost Abbey (San Marcos was less than a 30 minutes drive from where we were staying).

                          I didn't go to Modern Times, either, and that was less than 15 minutes drive. I truly failed on that trip…

                              Untitled art specifically brews out of Octopi.  It’s co-owned by the owner of Octopi and the owner of Funk Factory (who makes some fantastic sours in WI btw)…

                              Every gypsy brewing/contracting model is different though.  Beer laws in the US vary so much state to state it’s hard to keep track of how people are doing what...

                                Thanks for the heads-up, regarding Funk Factory. I'll be looking into that.

                                        So good! The impy lime gose with a hint from the tequila barrel gives this a very margarita like flavor profile

                                          Founders is great. Here's one from Dogfish Head in a similar style (minus the barrel aging). Summer beer.
