    I don’t have any more info.

    I won’t be preordering kegs I don’t know anything about. I hope the staff can put together cliff notes about these beers ingredients and if the IPAs will be “new school” or “traditional”

    Something very short would work fine. “Clear ipa, Nelson & Simcoe, wheat & oats, Conan yeast”

    Also looks like double daisy capra is starting to hit local stores.

    If you Pales, Smoking Gull was great last go round.

    I hope so. I sent them an email a couple days ago but haven’t seen a response.

    Exactly. This is all I am looking for. Should be mandatory which each new keg offered.

    It’s their company. They can do it how they want. They don’t need to do this keg club program. They don’t need to do anything. I just offer my suggestions.

    Capra is fantastic. Liked it last year, but love it this year. This recipe is a keeper. Hopefully they stick with it.

    Late to the Dungeons bandwagon so I don't know if there is still room. But I do wish that it'd be available year round.

    Extremely west coast, though I'd say it tasted how Half Acre would do a very west coast bitter IPA.

    I liked it, great change of pace from normal.

    Saw Wyld Cove beers out in distro today for the first time. As a suburbs guy, it was an awesome surprise, because I haven't been able to score bottles before. Looking forward to giving them a try!

    Bottles and cans had some a few weeks back as well. I guess they want to move inventory....

    I was in last Saturday and tried it. I thought it was OK, great bitterness, but I found it extremely sweet.

    I'm glad Smoking Gull is back. In my opinion, it is one of the best hoppy beers they have introduced the past couple of years. It reminds me of a more tropical Daisy Cutter. I'm hoping it comes back regularly.
