    They definitely are. When asking for Hop Butcher, haven't you received the, "they usually come today, but I couldn't even give you a time" or, "they're usually here by now, but we never know" responses? I certainly have - almost every time.

    Binnys dude snapped at a gaggle of dudes who were clearly waiting for the Phase Three to show up. Good times.

    Do you count yourself among said gaggle or are you just there for journalistic purposes?

    Did it rhyme with “Saturday?”

    Yea, but did you also wait for the Phase 3 beer to arrive? Lol

    I mean... there are only so many chip readers available. It's not like bringing in an extra person or 2 will speed up the line...

    Also, businesses don't generally add an extra shift of staff for what amounts to more traffic for an hour total.

    As said by others above, the timing isn't predictable. Phase 3 has said they would distribute something one day and then had a label delay and not been able to.

    LOL @ thinking bottle shops should employ more people on rare release days to field calls and inquires from neckbeards who only care about 1-2 beers in their shop

    Yes, the store needs more staff to ask the factitious shoppers, pretending to be interested in that Belgian quad they're holding, gazing intently at the label, along with a slow head nod of faux intrigue, if they need any help while they're waiting for the dolly of Phase Three to come out.

    Craft beer releases need to stop being the real equivalent of Pokemon Go....

    It's my luck it's the non alcoholic beers which are closest to the back room door at my local store. I'd love to check out a Belgian quad label but I'm afraid I wouldn't get to the dolly in time. I think I might request my store to reorg their shelves a bit.

    Gotta say, I quite like Energetic Mind even as green as it is. Dank, pineapple, crushable despite being not a thin hazy. Join the others on interest of what 2-3 weeks brings.

    I think I'm in the minority as I don't find it green at all. I'm on my 4th, really digging it.

    I liked mine. Not all that remarkably different than the last drop’s cans. But I enjoy having their beers in my fridge. I will be utterly fascinated to see how their Pilsner sells if they drop it with the oat ipa next week.

    I agree with your not remarkably different from the last drop comment. And I feel the same about hop butcher. Though I'm starting to consume less hazy brews these days as they are all so similar to me. NvU and Bodem are my go to staples that I seem to drink the most.
