    Benthic should still be on. I had just left before they tapped it. They originally had Orin on.

    Oh cool. I thought that was quick.

    But who knows. BCS Raspberry kicked in like 2 hours yesterday at the Taproom.

    I luckily made a dash for there right after work and got a glass. I cant believe it ran out that fast. Place wasn't very crowded when I was there.

    I think @Nachos4two thought you were referring to the new HA sour?

    Yes it is seeing distro, including to other states in their footprint. Will likely be the following week you'll see it hit stores in the area.

    For what it's worth, Orin is back on. I missed benthic.

    Vanilla Big Hugs will be next, once Orin kicks.

    The bartender said they're going to be rolling through kegs all weekend on a so there should be something cool on all weekend.

    Don't sleep on Magick. Best sour I've had from a Chicago brewery and potential to be right up there with the best in the future.

    Not trying to start rumors just posing a question as a few people mentioned tartness in a couple of PW beers. I stopped drinking PW's fruited Ipa's a few months ago, figured if you couldn't bring out the flavors from the hops then adding fruit was just a waste to me. Did have a couple Mango guppy's last night and will have to visit that again though as I seem to like there canned offerings way better than there bottles these days.

    Also cant wait for GDDC next week and shortly after BHA. 2 of my top 3 Ipa's from HA. 3rd being Deep Space but I don't think they are canning that anytime soon.

    Agree completely on the PW canned offerings being better (and way more affordable) than their other stuff. Deep space is coming later this summer in cans

    What is BHA? Your abbreviations are too much.

    I'm pretty sure they're canning deep space, aren't they? It's a seasonal.

    Is there confirmation that BHA is coming soon? Just asking so I can decide whether or not to start putting every other paycheck aside now, or later.

    Still a good amount of Magick left - just got back from picking up a couple. Really liked Virga, surprised that one is still around as well if anyone is still looking for it.

    According to the release schedule I was given, it's June, 4-pack cans as well.
