    rode in, rode out in 5 minutes. the line was a bit of a mess, 4 people showed up all at once, so WE WERE DECIDING WHO SHOULD GO FIRST.

    kinda wish the kolsh didnt have the lime. reminds me of carton boat

    You say that like it's a bad thing.

    BTW it tastes nothing like Boat

    After having a can of both I enjoyed City Slickers a lot more than Lime Green Galaxies. The lime is a little over the top IMO. Did anyone ask what the next release will be? Really hoping for some more single hop goodness, I'd love to see Mosaic or Amarillo again!

    Very glad people slept on this release, I think both beers are solid. Not a Kolsch fan by any stretch, but I do like kefir lime and it really shines on this one. City Slickers is really good. Again not a huge fan of fruited IPAs, but the fruit compliments the hops very nicely. It sort of tastes like a milkshake IPA from TH, but better IMO (and different mouth feel).

    Rolled in at 2:30pm and was able to pick up both cans with no wait. Wish all releases were like this

    I ended up grabbing an extra pack of the kolsch and crushing it at a BBQ. A very nice beer for that sort of thing. I dig it.

    PLEASE LET THE RECORD STATE: I posted on twitter first and it was confirmed by AZ Wilderness that the cactus on the prickly pear IPA is meant to look like someone giving the middle finger. Drops mic, walks out, check y'all on the flip side.

    The line was very easy today, the "packing station" and cash only register make everyone move much more efficiently.

    I just think it's pretty incredible that the beer has been available for nearly fourteen hours and nobody has made a joke about Curley's gold. Oh wait... I just fucking ruined it.

    Does anyone know if there is still Kolsch available for tomorrow (Sunday)?
