    Saw it on Square Roots Fest’s specialty tap list and got excited. Such a great one first time around.

    Also saw Chillin Out Maxin and Relaxin All Cool cans on a pallet when I passed by Miskatonic last week. Those were great the last time they were released.

    For me that was where the Hop Butcher hot streak started. They had their 7.5% NEIPA formula perfected at that point when those came out last September and every successive 7.5% NEIPA was a home run.

    Nah, they were cranking out fire before that. Remember they dropped Tavern Cut sometime around end of June last summer.

    I feel like 7-8% abv is the sweet spot for mass appeal; you get some of the session qualities of a lower abv beer, but there's also enough substance there for those of us who like the huge DIPAs.

    I disagree. They were still pretty hit or miss. That is why Tavern Cut was so good. It wouldn't have stood out so much if the prior and subsequent releases weren't so iffy.

    Any word on if deliveries will be happening today? For some reason I seem to recall Thursday being their drop day. I'll actually be up in the south burbs and wouldn't mind grabbing a 4 pack of this one.

    whaddya know, i recall those being noticeably sweeter and thus my love affair for HB started to wane around the same time :worried:

    The fresh prince releases were the worst HB's I've had to date. Undrinkably sweet.

    Edit: forgot about lemony fresh that was godawful

    That's right breweries for just $99 an hour you can work with Jangoon Consulting. Remember when BeerAdvocates loved your beer? Now they still buy it...but they complain about it. Get back on the right side of BeerAdvocates call Jangoon Consulting TODAY!

    A bit cheap for something I put so much effort into.

    I could just pitch them ideas for a year just to have them tell me they're going in a different direction, then steal my idea months later - Brewdog style

    Will there be taxidermy involved in any of your ideas?

    I really enjoyed the milkshake version, but I'm on board with this. If they want to do a sour NE IPA, there are a bunch of other things they can try, just not my precious Galaxy Bowl.

    What's the hype level on Green Moss? Is this a rush-to-Grand-within-30-minutes-of-drop day or a meander-over-any-time-before-4:30pm day?

    I would assume the latter since it's not a first-time release but who knows?
