Latest Pipeworks Releases and Updates

Picked up a Unicorn Galaxy out in the burbs today. Be on the lookout. There's 4 batch numbers on the bottle so there should be a good amount around.

 

NW burbs?

 

Where in the burbs?

 

Ardmore station has it. Havent seen anywhere else in the burbs. Everywhere else should be getting it soon

 

I've yet to try any HT or PtE, but have tried, many ninjas by Pipeworks and think they are the best I've tried. Saying that, how do the ninjas and unicorns compare to the "world class" DIPA?

 

Not much compares to HT, so that's not fair to compare.

They're very good and local, so keep drinkin' 'em.

 

Eh. I brought home a fresh case and a half of HT from the brewery summer 2012, and prefer N v. U and every Ninja variant I've had since to the Heady.

 

uhhhh yeahhhhhhh sureeeeee dudeeee...

 

pipeworks makes great ipas, but heady really is something else and, unbelieveably, is worth the hype.

 

Agreed. Heady is fantastic and absolutely worth the hype. Only other IPA/DIPA I've had that compares in my opinion is OTWOA.

 

NvU is in the same conversation as heady.

 

I disagree. Though Ninja Vs. Unicron (intentional misspelling) is good its cost is out-of-whack. Heady is usually $15.99 a 4-pack while NvU would be around $31.97... I can think of VERY few beers that are THAT good.

 

Lets get the Pipeworks thread back on topic.

 

omg, opinionz!

 

Price is a different discussion, 90% of imperial stouts/IPAs are in bombers. Ive had very few very good imperial IPAs in a 4 or 6 pack. Heady, Hopslam, dirtwolf, Abrasive, the list is very short. The sad reality is that you end up paying 2x per oz for a bomber compared to a 4 pack. But if you stick with that thought, every single Bourbon stout is priced out-of-wack when you consider the price of a Bourbon County 4-pack.

 

Anybody notice that the "Ninja" beers label changed beyond just the name? Appears to be a lady now. Is this Kate? I didn't notice when I picked up the cascade and centennial but i did last night. I was like, wait a second...

 

Yeah, she seems to be showing more face
