    Transient Artisan Ales did another release of The Juice is Loose yesterday and peeps were lined up down Lake Street. Dude I know said it took him 2 hours to get through the line. Heard they had Honeystone too, and another new IPA (not sure if it was NE style).

    Not sure when your friend lined up but I got there 3 minutes before open and I took a pic of my draft 42 minutes later.

    Link above highlights a release next Friday 10/30 presumably at RAM in Schaumburg. Hop Slush and Juicy I heard were very good so going to definitely make a point to pick up at this release for morning fog.

    Is that being bottled and distributed or is it tap only?

    I hope this is bottled or canned. Amazing IPA. I put it just above RAM's Juicy. Much softer with a prominent bitter hop finish.

    I'll ask Edmar during the Beer Temple radio show chat on Thursday and report back on if bottles are planned

    Have to agree with Mike on this one; Midway ChiPA is pretty fantastical. It's got good body and the flavor is delicious (haven't checked but seems like citra). The bitterness actually works really well for the beer. Not quite as "juicy" as GB v.1, but I might like it very slightly more.

    Yeh it was really good. To me the best are mikerphones best special sauce versions and RAM juicy - this is up there (oh and maybe juice pants 3 also)

    I have yet to try Juicy, so I can't compare. But, this is definitely up there with SS. I think it is actually better than most of them, although batch #9 still be my favorite. This is for sure up there with Juice is Loose from Transient as well.
