Chicagoland NE IPAs (2018)

Yeah I was really interested and he sent me a pic of the bottom of the can. I was a little shocked by the date.

 

Did Boat Shoes hit distro?

 

Sure did. Has been in the city since Wednesday or so.

 

damn where abouts?

 

Saw it at Bitter Pops on Wednesday.

 

Not to be that guy, but it is "Boat Socks."

This is an important distinction since Begyle makes a beer called "Boat Shoes."

 

Now if we can just get Maplewood to make a Boat Pants my summer beer outfit will be complete...

 

I don’t know, I feel like there is an Alchemist-style opportunity to expand the nautical sartorial line with “Floaties.”

 

Hoe inexpensive, or was that sarcasm?

 

I love Bomb (despite it being very batchy), but I just can't see the point of this experiment. It is super gimmicky (sort of like thr Prairie Dawg barrel purchase), and I would have only bought in at less than $30.

Thanks for the response.

 

I just picked some up at Prestige in Westmont

 

i think boat socks is a real treat. Its even got a little more carb that the recent batches of stratus, and the southern hemisphere hops are just huge on it

 

I think it’s outstanding

 

Anyone else like Stratus more than Boat Socks?

 

Baking soda, rain water, cloying caramel & grapefruit rind.

A truly awful beer, and one that makes me think they have no idea what a "New England IPA" is supposed to be.

Message for douchelords: yes, I let it warm up.
