    Anybody notice that the abv on Chillin and Relaxin is 6.5 compared to last years 7.5? Maybe new grain bill?
    Also, they subbed mosaic for hallertau blanc in this years Relaxin.

    I am excited to see a few beers coming out with different ABVs. It’s almost as if they listen to their costumers.

    Also excited to see a Pilsner. Love the name. I’m curious to see how they approach it.

    It seems the Pilsner is fairly limited; they had stacks of the IPA's at Bottles & Cans but a tiny amount of the Pilsner, limit one per person.

    It’s all part of the plan:

    1) make pilsners super limited
    2) sell out fast
    3) rinse
    4) repeat

    Summer 2020 will be the year dudes are truck chasing for crisp, clean pilsners.

    It was funny, I was talking to Dave of Beer Cellar, and he said P3’s Pilsner sold out in 36 minutes. I’m like did people not know that MoRE almost always had Villa Pils 4-packs available...

    Wait until the masses discover Dovetail or Metropolitan. They’re in for a treat

    The cynic in me thinks that the guys scooping all these up won't do that, because they're not limited.

    I was out of town this weekend. Did the 2 HB releases from Friday disappear already or are they still getable? Thanks!

    Where are you located? I can get you a can of each if you're close enough to meet up in naperville or river north.
