    High-quality hoppy hauls make me happy!

    I'm not used to being able to feel that way about locals. Don't want to jinx it, though...

    I didn't know there was a new batch of Vox Pop IPA out, I'll have to try to grab some before it disappears. I did happen upon a huge batch of Boréale IPA du Nord-Est at Peluso this weekend, so I bought 6 of those. I don't go crazy for the haze the way some people do, but it's definitely a very good IPA and I'm glad that it's starting to be available in larger quantities.

    Yeah, the icebergs of IPA du Nord-Est at Peluso have been something else lately! I'm curious as to how long that will be viable though as the hype that fueled the initial demand calms down. Especially when I notice how hard it is to find fresh Le Castor nowadays, since fewer people are buying it due to the demand for the newer IPAs.

    I'm not the world's biggest hop head either, but I really never thought I'd see the day when there was a decent selection of middlin' to good IPAs here so it's nice to splurge once in a while. All I'm worried about now is that people will go nuts and we will enter a couple years of being drowned in IPAs at the cost of other styles. Only time will tell...

    If you don't find any of Vox Pop, I grabbed four and I'd be happy to get one to you:grinning:

    Nice! I only have 7 years, myself, but it should make for a good tasting one day if I can find the right group of people.

    Yeah, choosing a group size to ensure everyone gets a good pour is going to be difficult. I'll be wary of new friends around this time in 2 years :wink:

    Missed out on the Assassin lottery and didn't have enough time to drive to Decorah, but this haul was a nice consolation prize during my weekend in Minneapolis:

    Hi, guys! I suggest you to post where you got the beers. So it's easier for us to try to get them as well. :-)

    Was in Fargo when TG Brews announced the SR-71 release at midnight. I was already planning to get to TG in the late afternoon and just grab some King Sue cans. Decided to wake up at 430AM and make an attempt to get to SR-71. Arrived around noon (had to stop for food, coffee, gas, and motor oil), found absolutely no line, and walked into the brewery. Glad I took out US cash before I left home. (Already gave away a couple of King Sue).

    Another annual June trip to the US east coast. Spent a couple days in Sturbridge, MA before heading to NYC to catch the Yanks vs Red Sox opener. Didn't have enough time to stop by Trillium or anything in Maine, but still did pretty well overall. Odd numbers since I tried a few throughout the week.

    Apparently that's very collectible Julius - they ran out of current label cans so used retro label
