    Is Hop Ranch still a thing? That beer was super good.

    Actually prefer Dirt Wolf to Hop Ranch, but even one Dirt Wolf gives me a headache the next day, so I rarely drink it. Thought I saw an advertisement for Hop Ranch a short while back, but haven't seen bottles yet.

    You can do what you like, but I wouldn't take a bus out there.

    Hop Ranch comes out in December or January IIRC. Really loved it the 1st year, not as much last year.

    ive gotten used to prices being a couple dollars more around here, but $18.99/6-pack when most other areas seem to be paying around $12 is a bit ridiculous. Beer is good though.

    Not that I don't believe you, but usually GE prices are pretty comparable to the national norm on stuff like that. Are we sure that one is a $12 six pack?

    The Born Yesterday is the same UPC as the "one hitter" seasonal so it scans at the same price as the Citrusinensis.

    im just going by what people say they are paying in the releases thread. Seemed like a big difference

    The flavor is fine but for whatever reason, I have a tendency to get cardboard from some Victory IPAs. The first year, I didn't get it. Last year, I did in a big way.

    Safe to say that it won't be ordered again next year!

    I enjoy BA Hibernation but not at $25-30 a bottle. $16, now we are talking.

    I was just giving you a hard time. I've never had it, so I have no idea.

    I generally agree, but in past I have noticed instances where certain locations (namely Robinson & Cranberry) do charge more than other GE's for the same product.

    I need to start coming in here and posting. Did anyone have the Green Flash Oculus Sauvage at Fatheads last week? I had it on Friday, it was surprisingly sour at 10.10%.

    On a side note there were a few of us BAs that had a bottle share at the Beerhive, and were talked into playing trivia by the table of women sitting next to us. We did dominate, as I believe BAs do at all things:grinning:
