    Looks like that might be the case. Great APA; I took home a growler of it on Friday.

    Another patron also mentioned they're bottling Happy Hops though I'm now wondering if he meant Row 2/Hill 56 instead.

    Had a growler of R2H56 last week, really enjoyed it. Looking forward to more of it!

    At the Beatification release, Natalie said she had just completed the label for Happy Hops. She made no mention of Row 2 at that time.

    As I said in the other thread about this, I'm excited for Row 2 to be bottled, but my understanding is that they don't have all that much of the hops, so it'll probably be a fairly limited release. What I'm more excited for is the "Hop Growers Tribute Series" that the label mentions. That seems like it could be fucking awesome.

    From what I heard right after Row 2 first showed up on draft, the Hop Growers Tribute Series would be bottled at some point: Row 2, Happy Hops, Segal Select and I can't remember if there was one more, but it was definitely those three that I remember hearing about.

    Aw, I didn't realize those were the other beers, I was hoping for new stuff. Oh well, still fun.

    Given how hard a time they are having just filling the demand for bottles of Pliny the Elder and Blind Pig in their limited distribution area (limited relative to demand at least), I have a hard time seeing too many of these bottles in distribution channels anytime soon. So perhaps this might be available at the brew pub only (plus cases sent to the hop farmers too)? Just a guess on my part but that was the case with the bottles of their "It takes a lot of Great Beer to make Great Wine": http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/863/72512

    You might be right. Or it could be like sanctification, which is harder to grab than supp or temp but still relatively findable.

    I cant wait for this. I was actually thinking how awesome it would be if they bottled this beer yesterday while I was drinking a growler of it. I like it better than Blind Pig.

    I am SOOOO happy. I was just thinking to myself last week that RR needs a bottled APA and that Row 2 would be perfect.


    Funny.. I did the second review of this beer ( tried to submit it but had under 20 reviews). Anybody think my good friends at RR saw my review?

    O- This is a great beer. I want this to be sold in bottles immediately. It's great. It very much reminds me of zombie dust and that is a really good thing. RR is awesome. Bottle it please!
