    Beware, they'll end up sending you an email in a few days saying they undercharged you and you owe 2 more bitcoins.

    Fire, Skulls & Money IPA bottled this morning and will be at the taproom when open today. It's also going to see distribution in IA and WI only. XHops Pink will be released soon and will be IA only.

    I'll definitely pick up some Fire, Skulls & Money tonight.

    I really hope it's a Zevon joke.

    Why send that to MN when we can continue to purchase December canned Sue! :rolling_eyes:

    To be fair, I was at a Hy-Vee probably 2 hours away from TG and they had a ton of December Sue. Not sure how that happens.

    Omaha just got the new look cans. I was excited to try some fresh Sue after not having it for a while. Cans were dated early January..... so much for fresh sue :slight_frown:

    December Sue sounds like something that should have holiday spices in it.

    I've seen December Sue in Fareways and liquor stores within 20 miles of (and in) Decorah in the past month.

    I'm not sure if there's freshish canned Sue anywhere other than the tap room or Illinois.

    Yeah, I'm not complaining because we have plenty of fresh bomber access, and we can always get fresh cans at the tap room.

    I'm just pointing out that the glut of December Sue is real, everywhere.

    If they got down to $4.99 I think I'd buy one.

    I will always buy these when I can find them fresh, even though the batches have seemed pretty inconsistent lately.

    The joke was supposed to be about never letting TG know that we are satiated or spoiled. I would be fine if they keep sending DSM bombers at this rate.

    Had both Pink and Fire Guns & Money last night.

    Pink was awesome. A very "TG" style IPA/APA. Juicy, soft mouthfeel, lots of tropical hints in the nose. Whatever this hop is, I hope they get a strong quantity of it going forward.

    Fire, Guns, & Money was interesting. It's Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy, and Nelson and I got that Galaxy right off the nose. I think Galaxy can be kinda cat-pissy and it's never been my favorite hop. It's drier/more West Coast like than most TG pales/IPAs, but as it warmed up a little bit, I really liked it. It was smooth as well, and the flavor was on point.

    The reaction among folks in the tap room seemed to be about 2/3rds preferring Pink and 1/3rd preferring Fire.

    Thanks @DriftlessFarmer. Most complete info I've read so far.

    Any whispers or indication on what they are bottling today?

    I gave up and just started calling it "Zevon" last night.
