    I'll admit to being slightly triggered that one of my favorite beers is dead last.

    Otherwise, what you're saying is that the beer I have at home right now, and the one I hope to have either Tuesday or whenever it hits distro are awesome choices.

    If I recall, the 2nd or 3rd batch of Juicy was 500 4 packs and they sold out within 2 hours

    I can understand why it's your favorite beer. 2 years ago, it would have been mine too. But my palate has gone completely soft towards bitterness. I can't tell if it's all these fucking NEIPAs or age. It's pretty shocking really.

    This is a limit of 1 4-pack per person. I believe Juicy was a higher limit. The way I think of it is that Binny's hands out 1000 tickets on Black Friday...and that is a crazy amount of people. It seems like expecting half of that for this is a bit much, but who knows. Best of luck to @shaun_the_brewer! I'm still thinking about swinging by in the afternoon to see if it's possible to get in at all reasonably.

    Nah man, I get it. I'm pretty sure that after I finished my first growler of...Jacob Goes to Juicetown or something like that, I was dismayed by all the clear IPAs I had left in my fridge. :stuck_out_tongue:

    I've never liked ANY of the Alchemist IPA's & don't get the hype on them at all.

    They are way too bitter for me.

    Casual sexism aside, I don't like bitter beers either. It's just a preference, doesn't make you right or others wrong.

    Cloudburst was great. Went last year on my Pacific NW brewery road trip. Was my 2nd favorite in SEA (albeit a very distant second), next to Holy Mountain. HM is the shit.

    Might depend on the number of double dippers. You know there will be tons of people needing to hook up their FB trading buds.:rolling_eyes:

    Anyone have that new batch of Hailstorm's Cumulus yet? Wasn't big on Stratus this go around, and that was the only experience I've had with them so far. Just curious!

    Yeah, for a time Green Flash was were it was at if you wanted some beer with bite that you could get locally and I can't remember how many bottles of 60 & 90 minute I went through along with Lost Continent from Grand Teton. It was a fun time getting into and exploring those beers and seeing how my palette changed over time. Double Trouble was another favorite and is not even made anymore and would probably be considered a Malt bomb these days.

    I love Stiegel Radler. Friend of mine talked me into one when I was hungover a few years back. Been a believer ever since. He still hasn't talked me into what he calls a "bum fight" though. Apparently you take a swig from the can, then top it off with gin. And yer all set.

    I think this rye IPA may be my fave...which is the one I was least interested in. They're all delicious tho.
