    I grabbed 6 at the brewery and am glad I did. My local WF got a case so I picked up a couple back-ups for trades.

    Cheers…..

    I was there at 3:30 today and didn't see any. Probably in the back, per usual.

    Picked up 5 bottles the other day at WF. Josh put out some more bottles yesterday. Grabbed another 2 bottles. Still had plenty in the cooler. This batch of Citra Showers is amazingly delicious. Had the OH Nelson can afterwards. What a great combo. Two of my favorite hops. Wish I had the newest batch of Mosaic DIPA for the trio. Looking forward to CitraHolic release on the 18th. Will have the Showers bottle to compare. To bad KRBC Citra isn't out to do a 3 bottle side by side by side.

    Provisions had a stack of Citra Shower cases as of last night if you're still looking.

    Went to Noble earlier for a flight and a growler fill. I considered a fill of Citra Showers, until I was told that the fill would be $30. I love Noble's beers, and I know that Nobles' growler prices have been brought up before, but I feel it's worth reiterating...$30 for a growler fill is ridiculous! I got a fill of Big Whig for $15 instead. Currently drinking it, and enjoying the hell out of it. Cheers!

    Was at the Anaheim Packing District today and was considering stopping at Noble for a Shower fill before heading home. Instead, stopped at Bottle Logic for their newest Ocularity DIPA. I still have a few bottles of Citra Showers left. 32oz fill for $15? Or $22 (which is still on the higher side) of Ocularity? Did the latter. Citra Showers is a better beer but the higher $'s for a growler fill at Noble killed it for me. Plus Ocularity is pretty damn good. Still waiting for a fill of Naughty Sauce.

    Noble is god awful when it comes to growlers. Over priced when there's actually stuff worth getting, but otherwise old ass IPA's that are past their prime get the growler treatment. And again, the price is always an issue.

    @Buck86 @CraftE Was blessed to try Haze, Julius, Green, and Sip this past week. All were great, but may have to give the nod to CS. Green and Sip come closest.

    GD is fantastic! Traded for it twice now. Looking for its next can release. Hoping to fly out for it and hit up OH tasting room/brewery. I should be getting the next fresh batch of SoS in the next 2 weeks. Both awesome, but CS still rocks! AG from Smog is awesome as well.

    I just took a beercation to VT, ME, and MA and got to try all of those beers as well. I also had a citra showers last night, and for me it's not quite on the same level as those. I am a huge fan of CS, but I feel like those New England IPAs are just on another level. I had a bottle of Trillium Viscinity while out there as well and that was my favorite of the trip. If you have a chance to land some, I highly recommend it.

    To be fair, the only "big" New England IPA I've had recently is Focal Banger but they don't touch our stuff out here for me. I liked Julius a lot. But my preference is still for the stuff coming out of Southern California. I had another bottle of Citra Showers tonight and I may have to try to track down a few more. So good.
