    Agreed on GB. I had no problem whatsoever with the carbonation level, but it's certainly possible that the feel of the beer gives the impression that's there's less carbonation than there is.

    Or, some people got less carbonation in their cans.

    Last place it hit (to my knowledge) was Elmwood Park over the weekend, so that would currently be the best bet.

    On the other hand, I believe it'll be hitting some of the Binny's in Chicago this week, so I'd imagine we'll see it popping up a decent amount in the next few days.

    What are you guys wasting your time for on these inferior beers? Everyone knows if you want a local hoppy beer that this year's GABF medalists include Temperance Beer Co.'s Gate Crasher English Style IPA and Maplewood's Charlatan American Pale....:wink:

    I called last night and they said they had already sold out. Hopefully, we will see some more get distributed this week!

    I called as well two hours ago, they told me the same. Stopped in anyone and there was about a case and a half left on the floor.

    Tough to say if it's still there now though.

    Finally having a Ram Juicy. Delicious! Strong orange & grapefruit notes, almost no bitterness & a gorgeous opaque haze.

    I give a slight edge to Galaxy Bowl because its peach & pineapple profile (alliteration unintended) is more to my taste, but BOTH stand strong against the NE "big boys".

    To quote the Drake/Future mixtape, "What A Time To Be Alive"!

    Completely agree! The peach notes on gb were great. If this is a taste of what's to come, I'm all in. A lot of good stuff around. Glad I was able to snag some this second go around.

    Thanks for the heads up! Gatecrasher is really good. I guess I'll pick up some Charlatan if I see it fresh.

    Holy Crap this is good stuff. Turbid, creamy soft mouth feel.....I have yet to try Juicy but right now this is the best NE style I've had thus far..

    What's the best channel to follow Hop Butcher on to stay up-to-date on what's being delivered to shops?

    Pretty sure @HouseofWortship was being sarcastic ... but I could be wrong :stuck_out_tongue:

    Charlatan when fresh is solid, but nothing exceptional.

    Pretty sure they're just about done. The couple places in the city I can get to already got it and sold it out.

    Even the Binny's in the city got it already and sold out? I thought for some reason they were distributing more this week, but maybe that already came and went as well.
