    Green Moss didn't last 3 days at GRF! I was in a big line on Saturday before first pitch and most people were not getting it. But then there'd be pockets of 3-4 where the whole group was into HB and would pick it up. Generally there supposed to last a couple of months but hopefully HB keeps sending stuff over there. $11.25 a can though it's a comparative bargain to the concourse options

    I guess that shows how hard Nelson is to find at the moment.

    Also Your Wish is Grants with Citra & Galaxy should be just as good in theory.

    YWIG is probably my favorite HB beer.

    Your wish is granted is my favorite non hazy from then and probably in my top ten fav beers.
    The Nelson hop is what did it for me but if it’s half as good as it’s previous versions I’ll be happy as hell.

    Me too the times it was released before it say for a few so I was able to go back and get another 4 pack of it so If it’s good I’m hoping I can do that again.

    I remember being pleasently surprised to get a Blazed Orange (non-milkshake) at a game last year. Really love the Kraft Kave.

    Is there an equivalent to the Kraft Kave at Wrigley? Haven't been to a game at either park in many years.

    The webpage says Nelson and Citra with a Galaxy dry hop.

    Can’t tell if it’s going hazy or not. I really doubt it though. If it was going hazy, why not just give it a new name?

    Yeah it’s called the Old Style trough.
    I kid, it’s soon to be called the Bells trough.

    This is Hop Butchers reply to someone asking if Your wish is Granted is a West Coast:
    hopbutcher
    @sigler.steve it’s a west coast double ipa. Citra and Nelson. Red can. The one coming out this week is a Citra Nelson beer as well but with an additional layer and dry hop of galaxy. Pink can.

    Interesting, I may actually pick it up now. I've lost interest in picking up every single hop combo iteration of theirs, but I love trying the other styles they put out.

    Just traded for some Loophole Technicality as my first Hop Butcher experience, and man this is great stuff. I stopped trading for a while because I rarely felt like the beer I got back was as good as the Other Half I sent out, but if their stuff is usually around this level I'll definitely be getting more.
