    I actually went to the Eddyline brewpub this past weekend on my way back from the Dunes. Not a fan at all. They had maybe 5 of their beers on tap and almost all of they are canned anyway. Most boring taplist ever. Crank Yanker and River Runners are just ok nothing special.

    I did stop it at Elevation before which was much better. Their taproom is pretty cool and they make much better beers than Eddyline. Had their double ipa on cask dry hopped with citra that blew away anything I tried at Eddyline.

    This is good to hear. I'm going to pick up a 6er of River Runner this week. Sounds like it's worth trying. Some reviews said that it has a really good nose which I love. I am also going to keep an eye out for the Station 26 citra hop cans.

    Thanks @tylerstravis for showing me the error in my ways (posting bad URL's on this thing)! I think I've finally figured it out, to recap, I love Cannonball Creek PA #4 and Comrade's Superpower as well as the Honeyman series and just about everything else they brew, I even got my GF on board with Comrade!

    Justin from Station 26 here - we dropped off two cases of Citra IPA at Hops & Pie today. Tomorrow (Wednesday) is $2 Craft Can Night. Just sayin'...

    I tried River Runners last night, and I have to say I, was pretty disappointed. I appreciate them trying something different, but as a fan of hops, it just didn't do it for me - although I did like it better than Oskar Blues Pinner. It doubt I will ever buy it again, especially when it is so close to Lagunitas Sucks on the shelves at my local store.

    Might just not be your thing. It's a GABF gold and WBC silver winner, so it definitely has chops. I've never much cared for Sucks personally, so different strokes for different folks.

    I tried it again last night after a long bike ride and I liked it a lot better. The first time I tried it was after a Racer 5 and it gave off a metallic finish. I didn't get that last night. I will be doing more testing :-) ...

    Anybody go try the S26 cans at H&P? I'm pretty mad at myself that I didn't. Sounds like they sold out of the ones they got in a couple hours. Not a big surprise for 2 bucks!

    If it's anything like on tap I would have had my table lined with cans at $2

    I had a River Runner last night and I thought it was pretty metallic as well. I was also drinking other things before it so maybe that's it. I know they had to dump an entire batch recently and maybe this run isn't dialed in for whatever reason. I'll have another later today.

    Picked it up a Applejack 5 minutes ago, also they likely won't be receiving Station 26.

    That Citra flew outta here.
    I was lucky to get one.
    Damned Summer cold right now, though... so I probably won't drink it until next weekend.
    Something to look forward to!

    I just cracked open a can of 4 noses proboscis and it has a super dank aroma when you crack the can open. This beer is the real deal. I live in Broomfield so I might be hard pressed to ever buy beer at a store again as long as they keep selling this in 6 packs. This tastes like my favorite beer I had on my recent trip to sandiego (Stone, societe, ballast point, modern times and pizza port). West coast APA that has a dank aroma where the malt is perfect and takes a back seat.

    Do they sell the cans at the brewery? I'm in that area all the time, I'll have to check it out!

    $12.50/6 pack. Pretty good deal for a damn good beer
