I passed samples around a panel of tasters the other day; it's likely to be a polarizing beer at first, because some folks seem to love it while others turned up their noses at it. The Formstone Ale and Amber's Ale, Hon definitely do not fit most folks' preconceptions of an American Brown Ale or an amber, respectively, and that will delight those looking for something new or different, and turn off those who expect predictability based on style names.

Nothing near me. Looks like I'll have to make a trip to grab a few.
Who's the distributor? I'm sure he's not self-distributing, which we know is illegal in the state of MD.
Looking fwd to giving these a shot.
Actually, a Class 5 brewery can self-distribute in Maryland, provided they also get a wholesalers license.

That's very cool. I had no idea. Thanks Volker.
Got a sixpack of each at Eddie's. I think they're both great. I seem to have drunk up all the Amber first. . . feels a little lighter despite having the higher %ABV.
YAY for a new Balto brewery!!
