    Just in time for the 4/20 holiday weekend, hoptimum has hit shelves in the Chico area. That danky hop taste is just as strong as ever, with that sweet resin taste lingering. In the brewery, its suprisingly in bottle form only for now until they decide to tap it. Go get some!!

    One of my favorite brews ever, and the beer that singlehandedly got me into craft beer.

    I hope it hits the east coast soon!!!

    I cant give you a sugar reading between last years and this years, but there is some sweet/syrupy-ness to this years. I think thats how the beer is, and some like it and some dont.

    Yep, it has a little sweetness to it. Just part of the experience of this great brew.

    I really would like. Hoptimum glass or something. I can wait for the release. Should be soon. On another note I read somewhere BABF is on cask right now. Lucky!
