    It sounds interesting but I wish BP would distribute more regular VAS to New Jersey.

    I think they've brewed this for Victory at Sea Day before. It was called Candy Cane V@S last year. Should be good.

    As a fan of mint I had to trade/travel hunt Truffle abduction, 17, and Satan's Bake sale. This is next on the list. Really excited about this one.

    Enjoy it now, because the next one will be Lime Victory at Sea, complete with a lime wedge in the neck of the bottle.

    Lime Sculpin is much more likely but I see what you did there :wink:

    This sounds interesting but I'd be ecstatic just to see more regular VAS. I can only seem to get one six pack and then never see it until the following year

    I hope they don't go bonkers with the VaS variants now. Though it would be neat if they released one specialty batch each year for VaS Day. Maybe coconut next year?

    Psyched to try. Victory at Sea in 6ers is one of the best values in beer I think.

    I've never had a mint beer. Sounds awesome. I hope I can find it.

    There are some foul mint beers out there, but I had one from Empire Brewing some years ago that absolutely jammed.

    That shit was 'liquid peppermint bark'.
    (You know, like a candy cane with a chocolate edge, you usually find around the holidays, comes in a cookie tin, yeah that's it).

    Hopefully, this is like that.

    We just got ballast point this month, so I don't know if we have a chance at getting limited releases, but here's hoping.

    Cant find regular VAS for a while.....on a list to get two cases when it shows up. Ages really nice as well. down to my last 5 and I cant seem to open them up till I find more. Like to try coffee only as well.

    Mint does not sound good. I had Satans bake sale and it was quite bad. Four of us had a few ounces and poured the rest out.

    Enjoy

    Dear Ballast Point,

    When this releases, please pour the beer directly into my mouth for consumption.

    Thank you.
