    AFAIK, neither made it to Chicago last year. I don't think their BA stuff gets distro. I picked some up at the brewpub over the holidays (BA version). Its OK. Fine for the price. Thinner than I was expecting, but it isn't an impy.

    Really liked that beer. Way better than reg. Hipster Brunch, imo.

    I can confirm rye hipster landing in our area. Spotted 3 lone bottles looking for a new home near Homer Glen/Orland Park.

    I wouldn't recommend that. I do enjoy Hipster Brunch, though. However, Rye Hipster is awesome.

    It's like a liquid Nutela. Very hazelnut forward. Maybe more so than last year.

    Rye Hipster Brunch is great stuff. It's way better than it's non-BA counterpart.

    Hipster Brunch is BA though - unless you're referring to something else?

    You are correct. I should instead say it's better than it's BBA counterpart. Good catch.

    I got Rye Hipster but no Hazel's at my Binny's. Maybe they are going to put it out after Rye Hipster is gone.

    Interesting. Both of my Binny's had em sitting out. Heck, the St. Charles Binny's had it just sitting on the shelf with all the other beers out there.
