    How do you know the new beer isn't also a DIPA?

    $12 crowlers. I assume it is a combination of the brewery finally thinking they made a good IPA, passing the cost of the crowler machine or the new building on to the customer, and/or taking advantage of their loyal supporters...regardless, it's more than every single IPA crowler I've ever seen, and it makes no sense...maybe I'm mistaken and they will use the extra $4 a crowler and pay to pave their parking area for said loyal supporters, but I don't see that happening...

    The cost is at least partly due to the large amount of hops. It's got significantly more hops per gallon than any beer Westbrook has ever made.

    All this talk about $12 crowlers being expensive makes me yearn for living somewhere other than NYC/the Northeast. $14 crowler/32oz growlers is the norm here for an IPA, and can go much higher depending on what it is.

    I may be late to the party here, admittedly I don't really look at the WB release schedule very often, but...I see a Key Lime Pie WWB on the list now, and a Mexican Biscotti Cake...

    I'm new to the area so sorry if this has already been addressed but are the Mexican Cake variants brewery only releases?

    Coming down in June, definitely hoping that Key Lime Weisse Weisse is around!

    Key lime Weisse is showing as a June release on my sheet. No mention of MC, but that's usually May sometime. Last year I think it was late May.
