C-U people, how are the new Blind Pig Brewery beers?

C-U people, I'm probably coming over to ride in the Chambana Cranksgiving alleycat this Saturday. I did it last year and had a lot of fun. And not to worry, while it is a race of sorts, the focus is more on food donations rather than speed. :) Let me know if you're gonna be there.
