    West coast IPA is/was Surly's intended style for Wet.

    I've probably stated this on these here forums before, but Founders Harvest is the king of the wet hop ale. And we can get that shit fresher than Wet!

    My top 2 wet hop ales last fall were Castle Danger Mosaic Fresh Hop and Founders Harvest.

    Won't miss this one at all. I had the Castle danger and the Wet Hop IPA that Bad Weather did with Mighty Axe last year and they both blew the Surly one away.

    Cant remember the last time I bought a Furious but sounds like they are still selling tons .

    That Castle Danger was the truth.

    Yea, hopefully they saved some of the hops so they can make it again this year!

    Let's not forget lagunitas Born Yesterday. That stuff was intense!

    Less upset by this than the last time they took a year off of Wet.

    I've enjoyed ever year's edition (though some more than others), but CD's was a lot more satisfying last year. Man I miss the Pacific Northwest that time of year, though...nothing that I've ever tasted really compares.

    How great would it be if they canned it this year like they did with Double Crossing?! I'm all for breweries ditching larger format bottles and moving towards canning/bottling in 4 or 6 pack options if they have the capacity to do so.

    Clearly, I was reacting to saving wet hops for a subsequent year. I assumed that post was a joke. I truly hope it was but it's tough to tell nowadays.

    Castle Danger was my favorite last year and it will be in 4 pack 16 oz cans this year. Lagunitas was a close second.

    Good, glad they aren't brewing it/taking up shelf space for better beer...but also shows where us beer nerds place when they can sell that much furious and hell (its not the best), we are still the minority, by far

    If that CD wet hop is on point like last year, I'll be buying cases.

    Last years was like a hoppy pale lager. No big loss.

    citra wet actually sounds good, wasn't impressed with last years at all

    People thinking that any specific vintage of a wet hop beer is relevant to any other vintage was the joke.

    Has this been confirmed? While 2015 was so-so, 2010 remains one of my all-time favorites
