    Just picked up a 7 day old Melvin IPA 6 pack today, very happy to see that.

    Who do I have to murder to get a glass of Fresh Hop 2x4 this year?

    They had it at GABF last year, it was unreal good! I believe it took home a medal.

    Worth mentioning - Grapevine has Melvin on sale through the end of today. If you're a fiend for those cans, you should probably get down there.

    I'm not a big enough IPA fan to keep a stash at home, but the Bull & Bush has had at least 2 Melvin taps (usually Hubert and 2x4, but also Shaolin and *) on permanent rotator. That has helped me get my fix.

    I don't think we have had Shaolin or * on tap here for 2-3 months.

    There's 8/25 cans of IPA on shelves in Denver. Definitely couldn't pass up a six pack of that. Also, I'm hoping fresh hop 2x4 will make an appearance at the FRTH Fresh Hop Fest this year.

    Anyone heard details about this year's event? Presumably it'll be around last year's 10/3 date but I don't see any info on Falling Rock's website or social media.

    https://www.twoparts.com/event/fresh-hop-2016/ It's a two-parts (used to be imbibe) event that was held at FR. just down the street this year.

    We actually medaled for fresh hop Melvin IPA last year and we brewed it again last week with wet hops from High Wire in Paonia, CO, small batch but will be at GABF and maybe some of our tap events that week.

    8/25 Melvin IPA is liquid crack. Awesome.

    Had a couple Melvin Brosaics on tap at The Pint Room. If you like Mosaic hops, you love this. Great aroma/taste.

    I've had this on tap a few times now with the most recent time being this past Tuesday at FRTH and it definitely showcases the Mosaic hop very well. Big fan! Would be great if this was canned.

    This winter when Brosaic was first on tap (maybe it had been before that) it was an 8% DIPA. Now it's a 5.5% Session IPA???

    Had both. The double version was much better IMHO.
