    Has me concerned for the Miracle Toast--hopefully the coffee batches were trial runs. I rather not have nitro beer, but would still wish it to be implemented successfully. Something with as much going on as Miracle Toast I don't think will get too muted, and the mouthfeel could push it to level: ridiculous.

    Well this was not creamy nor fluffy. I had the cold brew coffee at the brew pub a few months back and it wasn't on nitro and this had the exact same mouthfee. If nitro coffee is supposed to be creamy and fluffy then there is an issue with these cans

    Seeing as Zipper Ripper is 2/5, anyone had it before? Pictures on Untappd don't look as hazy as their other beers but has great ratings. With Blabe and Hot Probz being my favorite, how's it compare? Really wanna hit up the release as I've never had EWS either.

    I like most of the EWS series more than zipper. Definitely not as good as Blabe but I'll still happily drink my allotment. Really looking forward to the mosaic though.

    I had it when it first got put on draft at the pub in November and it was super solid. No bitterness and a little sweetness on the backend from the honey.

    I drink cold brew every morning and bought the 4pk on a whim yesterday. The cold brew I make myself is usually crappy coffee (Maxwell House, etc) left overnight in a gallon jug, then filtered and cooled in the fridge.

    HH Cold Brew (v.2, most recent canning) is admittedly quality coffee, but the nitro treatment is weak at best. The can feels as if it will explode when you press on the walls, so I was afraid to shake super violently before opening. Despite this, I gave it a good shake and poured. A small "head" formed, but didn't last for long. The mouthfeel is ok, but I'm not sure if it's what they were looking for. The nitrogenation is weaker than the carbonation you'd get from a BA stout, if that tells you anything. I think they're still working out the kinks... I would like to see more nitrogenation in future cans.

    An IPA can not be hazy and still be fantastic. We seemed to be doing fine with the IPA's that were available long before hazy IPA's came around.

    The most recent version of Musk was great and was clear like a west-coast IPA. Just sayin'...

    I should seek some out then. I stopped buying/trading for Hoof after the vile trash (IMO) that was Everybody Wants Some Vic Secret, but I've still had some here and there since.

    True, I do have 2 cans of the Musk left and it's still drinking so well.

    5 minute sellout... a bit faster than I thought they'd go.

    Does Hoof Hearted allow you to pick up previous Releases? I bought a ticket for south of eleven, but I wasnt able to make it up that weekend.

    Best to ask them, most likely via social media. They may or may not have any left.

    In my experience, no, but others have said they had success. Would reach out to them as Sabtos said.

    You might be out of luck in this case. Extra cans made it to the brewpub and sold out in about a day... not sayin' it was all the cans, but just a tidbit.
