    $15 is about the lowest regular price you can get it for in the Twin Cities. Absolutely my favorite beer in MN and maybe the world...happy to pay $4/can.

    Yes, you're insane. :astonished: I do like me some Overrated, but it's no Abrasive!

    fwiw - The 4 packs are 16oz ers, so really it's only 8 oz of less beer than a standard 6 pack, not 2 whole beers.

    Not sure what you're referring to talking about 4 packs are 16 ozs, are you talking about Hopslam? I've only ever seen it sold in 12 oz 6 packs where I live.

    I was talking about Abrasive (4 packs) when you were saying another comparable high quality craft beer vs a 6 pack. No biggie.

    Batch 12530 may be one of the greatest beers ever produced. I've been drinking Hopslam for 7 years. It's always fantastic. But 12530 is something special. Pat yourselves on the back, Bells.

    Friendly beertender at Friar Tuck's in STL said it will be released throughout Missouri on Tuesday. Don't know if anyone else heard anything. I heard it may be released tomorrow (Monday 1/20).

    Looking forward to seeing this on Wednesday (crossing my fingers). I'm having a get-together on Saturday and may do a side-by-side of HT, Hopslam, and Abrasive. All of them will be fresh as a morning daisy. :grinning: Either way, I'm excited to just drink good beer!

    Would like to see the request of the side by side tasting. All three are amazing IPAs.

    I've never kept it around very long in my fridge, but what is the consensus on how long the hops stay so bright and juicy.

    I got a case of the 12/20 bottling and I detect no change from when I first started the case to now. 12/20 batch is as good as ever.

    Everything that I've heard says tomorrow (1/21) also. I didn't see anywhere that had it today.

    Woah now. Let's not get all wizardy here. Let's get those ranges out of the way and compare your bottom of the line to the top of the line. No pulling the wool over our eyes.

    $10 four pack - that's only $2.50 a bottle.
    $18 six pack - that's a whopping $3....oh.

    Ahem. As you were.
