    There was a 12/21 canned drop in Arlington Heights, doesnt help you directly but there was a fresh batch that has or is making its way around.

    Looking forward to it, but I'll wait until BP gets it. Wondering if they'll have another release.

    I will probably take a look at capones this afternoon for it if anyone still thinks it will be available.

    It won't sell out that quickly. Capone's got a lot of it too.

    Did any places near the new Pipeworks bottle shop get reply hazy? I may head out there tonight but won't be able to stay out long enough to head up to BT or Capones.

    Reply Hazy is giving GB batch 1 a run for top spot from the NE style. The flavors are working together so well in RH, and I'm not getting any of the small astringent notes. They are really fine tuning these batches.

    Well now I'm excited to try it. Going to try to trade it for Morning Fog since I can't make a 10am Friday release.

    I think I liked GB better from an overall flavor perspective, BUT I think Reply Hazy is more balanced (GB was a little cloying). It's definitely top tier, and I think it's one of the most true to style NE IPAs we have; it's very full-bodied and also full of flavor.
