    You are one lucky bastard.... My brother and sister gave me some of this beer after there trip to Columbus to visis Her Grandma and man... All I can say is that is by far one the best IPA's in the country!!!!! I wish I had access to it regularly!

    Disclaimer: I am fairly new to trying to be a serious BA, and have never attempted a half-and-half pour. Could someone tell me if they have experience, will this pair layer? If not, it's still pretty tasty as far as I'm concerned.

    Now I'm finishing my first one of these.

    I think the T IPA edges out Sucks for me. Both are great beers, and I will be very happy if Sucks is indeed year round. Thinking of moving onto a stout next on this snowy night. I may crack open the bottle of Dark Intrigue that I've been holding. Cheers BA.

    Hopslam should be honored by drinking it solo :slight_smile:

    I actually love that beer. Had Smitten on tap a few months ago at a Bell's tap takeover, but it was only referred to as Golden Rye Ale as they hadn't named it yet. Easily my favorite beer of the night.

    I like it just fine solo, but figured that since I was interested, I may as well make my first half and half something special. It should be noted that as much as I like the Hopslam, I'm a little in love with Brooklyn BCS right now....really been hitting the spot.

    I have yet to 50/50 mix, but with as hard as it was for me track down hopslam, I couldn't imagine mixing it with anything haha. Cheers!

    Tonight for me: SN Torpedo-->Lagunitas Lil' Sumpin Sumpin-->Surly Abrasive
    For the hop/money, the winner is Lil' Sumpin Sumpin. For pure hop abrasiveness, the winner is Surly Abrasive.

    don't take it too serious, have fun with it! i'm not a seperation expert but i think you have to slowly pour over the back of a spoon or something of the like to get it to slowly fill the glass while remaining seperated.
