    I'm not sure what constitutes the regular line-up and/or seasonals. So far, I've seen regular Daisy Cutter, Gone Away and Double Daisy Cutter. Beermongers has a keg of BA Big Hugs. Belmont Station appears to have had something of a Half Acre release event, but I can't recall everything they had on offer.

    For me it was a treat to try Daisy Cutter after many, many years (last time was during Philly Beer Week some years ago). I still find it to be a very good, very solid pale ale. It was a treat to try it again. Gone Away didn't impress me. Don't get me wrong, it was certainly decent, but it really didn't stand out when compared to other IPA's available out here. Am looking forward to trying DDC as well, and am hoping I can make it over to BM for a glass of Big Hugs.

    Personally, I'm very happy to have Half Acre around. Was at Arch Bridge last night, and was told that cans of DDC and regular DC have literally been flying off the shelf (DDC in particular). I don't think they got in a huge delivery, but even so, I was surprised to see everything selling so briskly (though I was annoyed that I was unable to grab a 4 pack of DDC).

    I grabbed cans of Daisy Cutter and Gone Away at 16 Tons. Sounded like it was just a one time shipment.

    That's too bad. I was hoping this was a permanent incursion.

    It would be good to see our guys like Block 15 and Fremont do incursions into the mid-west in return!

    Until we get some of these bonus drops in Washington, Fremont should not offer this courtesy.

    I have not had it yet, but I've got it on my list to have while I'm in Illinois in June.
