    Grabbed 2 of the new batch. Still have one of the old. Contemplating a side by side.


    Would like to (once again) reiterate that glassware question from above. If a few were to find their way to Skokie Binny's I would forever be grateful.

    They probably won't want to compete with Devil Dancer.:rolling_eyes:

    Who cares about a triple IPA? I rarely have triple IPAs that are better than the DIPAs available.

    I like hiRes but resin is probably better IYAM. Devil dancer was pretty unimpressive. Beers like Double Crooked Tree and 120 Minute are more of any impressive brewing achievement than a delicious beer. It's amazing brewers can make a beer with that high an abc that is still pretty drinkable but that doesn't mean I want to drink it when I can have a two hearted or ruination that has more flavor with half the alcohol. Unless your goal is to get completely wasted (which is fine) then I don't really understand the point of these massive abv pales.

    Everyone like different things.. I like the flavor of a triple like devil dancer and green bullet.. But I am not going to try and tell someone that they better like it because it's better

    I agree with you.

    And so does the little purple head.

    Green bullet is a cool beer, New Zealand hops FTW

    Do we have a threshold yet for what defines a triple IPA? I mean, some of the NvU series was 10.5% wasn't it?

    Triple IPA? psh, thats so last year!

    I don't understand why they don't just release a quintuple IPA already, I mean shit. Like they need to get with the times. You can't have a solid lineup if you don't have a quintuple IPA in your brewing schedule. I guess they'll learn eventually!

    BA Jones Dog & BA Murderous are both fantastic. Jones Dog ranked up there with the best beers I had a DLD.

    Nice work!

    I cant think of a single stout with vanilla that has benefited from aging. I really cant think of a single stout in general that i thought really benefited from aging. drink drink drink drink!

    Just wanted to show appreciation for the fanged furry flying German-Belgo monster that is the Wolpertinger. Awesome DIPA, easy drinkin 9%er, bananas up the wazoo(I don't know what the wazoo is). But it's a delightful brew that was a great addition to the PW lineup as of late. Cheers guys!

    @Pipeworks I think a better question is when are you gonna start to distribute to Ohio?
