Chicagoland NE IPAs (2018)

Two different dates.

That name is awesome

"We need rest. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised."

 

I am trying out that Caviar delivery service and having two growlers delivered

 

I want this just for the name, even if it results in a crushed pelvis.

 

$23.67 for two growlers delivered with the promo code. Not too shabby

 

Howlers or growlers? Also, that's a cool service. Piece, Forbidden Root, Haymarket and HA are all there.

 

May as well spread the wealth, 28 mins from order to delivery. I did 2 Growlers to get the $25 min order.

Looks like you can use twice. I will be using this service for Forbidden Root, I can have delivered to my wife's office and home for me to drink same night!

 

FYI, when I was ordering I put in 2 of Jacob goes to Juicetown, but in the comments I said if one could be filled with Death by Snu Snu. Turns out that Jacob goes to Juicetown is no longer available so they just sent me 2 of Snu Snu.

 

I'm not even seen the option to add any NE Style IPA growlers to my cart. It's required to pick one, and Jacob Goes to Juicetown and Snu Snu aren't even on the list - am I missing something?

 

So when I ordered, at least Jacob goes to Juicetown was in that list. So like I said, I ordered 2 and in the comments I had requested Death by Snu Snu for one of them. If it were me Id probably just pick 2 of whatever and in the comments request it. Obviously I have no way to guarantee you would get it but you could try and call and confirm with caviar? They were very responsive in their emails to me when informing me of the availability of Jacob...

 

I'm totally using this service next big release day at HA. "Hey, where is my beer? You said 30 minutes, I don't care if there is a 2 hour line, you're getting my growler of Benthic."

 

Also, btw, just noticed for this NE style tap takeover thing going on at DryHop tomorrow, Noon Whistle has joined the line up.
Line up is here:
DryHop One Step Beyond (New England IPA) - 7.3% ABV
Noon Whistle Brewing Jive Gummy (American IPA) - 6.6% ABV
Hailstorm Brewing Co. Cumulus (American IPA) - 6.3% ABV
Hubbard's Cave by Une Année Brewery Fresh One Hop Simcoe (American IPA) - 6.0% ABV
Forbidden Root Snoochie Boochies (Double IPA) - 8.0% ABV

 

Well as promised figured I'd crack it open tonight. Basically zero bitterness to speak of (which I like in the style) decent mouth feel and it has some weird after taste that I can't put my finger on. It's not a bad thing, though. Great experience with the growler delivery!

 

Death by Snu Snu is FR's best NE style to date. Nice pineapple papaya taste to it. Not too bitter.
