No, Faithfull was just a one time release. And you seriously missed absolutely nothing. It was on par with having a pabst or busch.

I was hoping the label & name could deceive my taste buds of that. But that's disappointing.

So I built a keezer from a horizontal fridge with the door on top. Holds 4 5 gallon kegs, I splurged on the taps. Good stuff!

Hellhound hits semi-annual rotation status I believe. Faithfull was awful.

Guys, I know I mentioned it, but if you can find this, get it. It's extraordinary.

Yeah, I meant to add that but got distracted trying to think of beers shitty enough to compare to faithfull.

Also, Faithfull is not officially off the table.

Awesome. Let me know how you like it. Just remember, it's not KBS (to which people try to unfairly compare it -- that's like comparing a Porsche to a Ferrari).

I know, right? I drank one bottle. I've got one bottle in the fridge. I'm aging one bottle. And I have one bottle I'm keeping for a trade for a 6 pack of Bells Black Note when it comes out this January. I'm thinking of sacrificing the Black Note for that last bottle though.

yes, when I lived in NY..only on tap but it was incredible..I only had 2 pints..I wish they would distribute out here

I have a KBS I could spare along with Oracle, a regular Breakfast Stout, A This One Goes to 11 and a Two Hearted for the right combination of Russian River stuff.
