    One of our all-time fan favorites is back for a limited time.

    PGGB has been bottled and is awaiting state-wide distribution. Expect it in stores by next week!

    Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is a Double Belgian IPA brewed exclusively with Galaxy hops. The nose is an impressive blend of citrus aromas reminiscent of guava and lemons. It also has subtle Belgian yeast esters. An intense, clean bitterness dominates the flavor profile, with little malt character to compete with. A fruity yeast sweetness is noticeable in the finish, alongside a resounding bitterness.

    8.4% ABV
    90 IBU

    Thank the beer gods. Been waiting a while for this one. It should take the sting out of U-M's impending beat down this weekend.

    An 8.6 ABV beer of any style is not worthy of the name Pangalatic Gargle Blaster.

    This is starting to get annoying.
    Trying to cut back on mid-week drinking but good releases keep coming out weekly.

    Assholes.
    There I said it.

    See you Friday Sean.

    I liked it, but didn't buy any more than 1 bottle. I have a coworker who has hated every beer I've suggested he try(including KBS, Hopstache, Mosaic, Freedomof78, FBS, Java, etc) and he is in love with Venus.

    It was better as it warmed but weirdly sour and the nectarine or orange flavor didn't quite mesh well with the bitterness imo.. Shorts would've done this style better..
