    Love the style. Kind of weird to release a smoked porter in the summer but I'll take it.

    Could drink these all night long around a summers night bonfire.

    Odds of seeing Hometown Blonde getting lower, I assume

    Tell me about it. I would think it wouldn't come out in the fall/winter, though.

    But maybe there's still time for an August surprise

    Not to say that it will be released this year, but I believe it's been released in late summer before.

    I'll be back in WI next month (middle of August). Chances Bubbler, Smoke, and Cran-bic will still be around?

    Hard to say with certainty but I would think all three will still be around. My local Woodman's still has Oud Bruin and Cran-bic as of last week, both of which have been out for quite a while. Might take a couple stores but I'd say you will find them.

    Which thumbprint is smoked porter replacing?

    Can you clarify what you are looking for here? NG releases a new Thumbprint every couple of months, so I'm not sure I would consider Smoke on the Porter to be replacing anything.

    Was curious if any of the currently available thumbprints would no longer be available now that the porter will be taking shelf space.

    The thumbprints are usually brewed for 3month slots so its not replacing anything. Just the newest one.

    My understanding is that the thumbprint series rotate so its not necessarily the same lineup of thumbprint beers every year. So last year this time, it was not smoked porter - I want to say it was the apple ale? But smoked porter hasn't "replaced" apple ale.

    (Edit) That being said, apple ale is still listed on the website for January - July of 2016 and smoked porter is not - need for a website update maybe? :astonished:

    Cranbic won't be available anymore after this month so I guess if the porter is replacing anything it would be that.

    Apple and Scream are year round thumbprints. The rest will vary.
