    Yep, I ended up picking up a 4-pack and drank a couple tonight. This is a significant improvement over the FL Sue and Galaxy dry hopped version that showed up recently!

    I'll agree here. This is a really nice citra hopped hazy PA. Great hop bite on the back end. Nice mouthfeel. Radically different than the FL cans, in a good way. The prospect of (fresh) cans of King Sue...I don't even know what to say about that but :heart_eyes:

    Ok all, I have a car in the city today, and can drop out a little early. I can actually go out and get beer. Besides the releases at Noon Whistle and Mikerphone, is there anything that I should get that is recommended here that will be in stock? There's SO much going on in this thread that I can't keep track. It seems the minute something's posted and someone chimes in that it's awesome, I find out it's super limited and gone and 90% of the stores within 100 miles.

    For what it's worth, I'm a Corridor, More, Forbidden Root NEIPA fan. So those styles suit me.

    Cheers.

    Maybe the two new Hop Butcher releases that started being distributed yesterday? Not sure where you are or where they've shown up yet but I'm sure someone in this thread or the newly created Hop Butcher thread in this forum can help you out.

    I agree with @whatruDOINdragic. I believe the HB stuff should be hitting wider distro today, and 1) I Want to Believe was fantastic the first time around, and is now hazier and more hopped (I believe), and 2) I've heard from the guys at HB that they think Mirroball might be one of their best yet.

    I think the goal is to get a thread for every Chicago brewery right? :stuck_out_tongue:

    Corridor is releasing Pulp Hogan today. Probably still have Squeezit too. Forbidden Root released their BA stout last night and have Holihaze from Marz on tap.

    I think Dry Hop Brewers still has Citransfixion on tap, which I personally have not had, but have heard very good things about.

    I had it on draft at the brewpub over the weekend. Its nice, but I prefer 4 and 5 much more. Nose is great, but taste is a bit flat. Its definitely not as hazy as the others in the series (not that that matters for me, but will for many on here).

    Slightly off-topic but has anyone seen Zombie Dust in Chicago today? Need to bring some to a buddy in Ohio this weekend.
