    Good to know, something told me to grab a four pack. With the warmer weather I was hoping for a batch that reminded me of how it used to be.

    Drink it quick, what I've found with HopHands is it only lasts about 4 weeks before it starts to change. Alien Church and the Milkshakes hold up way better.

    Why are they pricing Rosé like a Milkshake? Is that price a mistake? Yeesh.

    Keith, what is the oldest you have consumed of these two beers? How would you compare those beers at x months vs. at 2 weeks?

    Cheers!

    I believe it's the same price as last year. It was their most expensive beer at the first canning, I think.

    Rosé made it to the bar at 3pm, as expected. No case count revealed, so guessing there's a lot left. Seems like it might last until the Weds/Thurs release based on the lack of instagram hype.

    Figured this would be the case. Acquired taste, and at $22 a 4pack, I haven't acquired it.

    Oldest? HopHands was 8 weeks, maybe 9 and it was almost indistinguishable as Hophands. Just a total mess. And that's not just once, but at least twice, maybe three times. And fresh HopHands? Orgasmic.

    Alien Church? Just had an 8 week old can this week, still very, very good, almost awesome. Fresh is super awesome, a little age makes it just awesome. I am going to hold one on the latest batch cans for 3 months and see how it holds up. Milkshakes? I held a Double Watermelon for 6 months and it was stil really, really good. I held a Double Peach for 4+ months and it was still really good, as was a 5 month old Guava.

    Keith, I discussed a 4+ month old Strawberry Milkshake in today's New Beer Sunday thread.

    Does anyone know if they still have Rosé cans left?

    I doubt it, they would have posted if they do. It's more often they post telling you they have something rather than posting it sold out. Onward and upward!

    Looks like the same colors as the last Peach canning, right?

    It looks extremely close. People on IG are pretty sure it's not, though.

    What's the usual sellout time on the milkshake releases. I'm in town for work but won't be able to make the release until 6:00. Am I wasting my time?

    I got to the Strawberry Milkshake release at 5:40 and there was plenty of beer left. You should be fine. Cheers.
