    I call shenanigans. This is a very tasty, nicely hoppy beer.

    I am pleased. Cheers!

    Good to hear. I have never had Zombie Dust but understand it to be good. Feel free to share :slight_smile:

    Unawares but very tempted. Where are/will these cans be available beyond the brewery?

    Bottleworks and Full Throttle tweeted today that they had it in. The beer guy at WF Roosevelt (who was clearly not pleased when I informed him of this around 5 today) said it should hit wider distribution on April 1.

    $9/6-pack @ the brewery.

    Found the initial hop burst pleasing, but the following grainy weirdness offputting.

    Splitshot is going to be a tough act to follow...

    Zombie Dust like dumping a bag of Citra dust into a beer and drinking it. SBW5 kinda smells similar, but the taste is totally different.

    I for one endorse Fremont's success in crafting well balanced very tasty beers. It doesn't seem to be their intent to blow people away with over the top hop profiles. Plus they have some of the tastiest 4-5% abv session beers to be found anywhere.
    Congratulations in making your own mark in the craft beer world. 100+ IBU beers have their place but it sure is nice having good beer around that doesn't wreck your palate.

    Cheers to that. I just enjoyed my third SBW5 (is that what we're calling it?) since Friday evening, and I think I'll go crack open another one right now. I rarely drink two of the same beer in succession but this one is calling out to me.

    I agree. Splitshot was a mess.

    I can't decide if I like the beer, or the artwork more. Both are stellar.

    The cans are absolutely beautiful, especially when you rotate them in the six-pack rings to have the image extend to all three cans.

    Absolutely loving this, and I have to say that it is a perfect post-mowing beer.

    [sarcasm] Sorry but I only drink DIPAs, -bal RIS, -bal barleywine, AWA, or lambic/gueuze. [/sarcasm]

    Got a six pack over the weekend. Possibly my new favorite beer! Just fantastic.

    Aside from Cowiche Fresh Hop, Summer Ale (which is out now!!!!!!!!!) is still my favorite Fremont beer.

    I was in Elizabeth Station yesterday, and no sign of it. No love for Tha Ham?
