    I guess weilands and crafted draft got it. I think Anderson's dublin is suppose to get some tomorrow also. I'm starting to think this isn't as limited as I thought it would be.

    VERY similar to Zombie Dust IMO.

    I think sometimes Revolution "mis-dates" . . . not sure what's up but I remember buying a sixer of Anti-Hero that wasn't even canned yet ! I specifically remembering the canned on date being November 20 something and I bought it in early November last year. Your post just reminded me of this.

    Why even wait for a label date? By then it's probably already too late. I stuff a handful of hops in my mouth, add a spoonful of yeast and wash it down with some water. SUPER fresh. Once you try it you'll never be able to go back to that bottled slop again.

    I liked it, but it falls under the category of one I would not need to seek out again. I loved the nose on it and the fresh bite up front. But for some reason it had a slightly smokey finish to me that I couldn't put my finger on. My wife didn't pick up on any of that. Maybe my palate wasn't clean? Who knows. I do know that I put it so far behind Hop Stalker that you can't even see it in the rearview mirror.

    100% agree with you here. Hop Stalker is so damn good, that I feel no need to pick this one up again next year - not that it wasn't good.

    I didn't pick up any off flavors. It's in the Top 250 and has great ratings, and typically beers that make the top 250 don't have blatant off flavors. I'm guessing something was probably going on with your palate when you drank it.

    Regardless, I do also prefer Hop Stalker to it. I preferred CBC Yakima Fresh Hop to both, but Hop Stalker wins for convenience.

    Likely what I'm guessing too. Kinda disappointing experience. Oh well, back on the Hop Stalker train tonight. Yakima was great. Was like straight up weed!

    So I was charged $18.99 for a six pack for Born Yesterday at the Giant Eagle Market District on 3rd and I see everywhere else it's $11.99. Glad I kept the receipt

    It should have been $11.99 for sure. That's what I was told the price was when I was grabbing my two packs for Backwoods Bastard. I balked at paying more than I already was and just got a single for like $3. I think you may have been charged the BB price.

    Damn! Yeah, retail pricing in Ohio is $11.99 so you got ripped off. Also, Backwoods Bastard retail is $15.99 so if anyone pays more they are getting ripped off too.
