Hop Butcher (2019)

This week.

 

From the Insta post:
With Thanksgiving on Thursday, we’re going to change it up this week and roll with a Tuesday & Wednesday delivery schedule. South burbs, Chicago & West/NW Burbs Tuesday. Burbs further out from the city making their way to the lake on Wednesday. We hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

 

Didn't we used to have a button for embedding social media stuff into posts? Could swear it used to exist.

Edit: NM. Just read they disabled it.

 

Getting canned today

 

Dang, it's the non-milkshake one? I was not a fan of the "regular" version of this IPA at all - it tasted like biting directly into an orange peel, resulting in a weird bitterness with the hops.

 

That's a serious beard. Crikey!

Not a fan of BO Milkshake. Really liked the regular last I had it. I'll be headed up for the holidays on Wed and hope to find a pile of it.

 

Anyone had a Blazed Orange yet? Could have grabbed some today and passed. Grabbed another pair of Benthic cans instead.

 

Buncha savages. Can't find BO in the south burbs. Bought up everywhere. If anyone has a line in the OP area, would be greatly appreciated.

 

Maybe you should try sniffing around the lower shelves.

 

There were a few cases of BO on the floor at Mokena Binny's when I stopped in around 10:30 this morning. I'm sure they still have some.

 

Thanks man. Mokena would've been tough to make it too. I ended up just fine with some fresh NvU, Beezer, Lush Terrain and some Benthic. I will lose no sleep tonight. Barfing kid not withstanding.

 

Stout season hits us all hard.

 

3 new IPA's?! View the deets here:

EDIT: one's a Weldwerks collaboration, and one's a Bottle Logic collaboration.

 

Both Hop Butcher and Phase 3 releasing their Bottle Logic Collab

 

Unlicensed Nuclear Accelerator was awesome when it came out, on par with the top 10% of HBs hazies. Not sure the collab aspect added anything.

 

Had silver coat and accelerator... pretty disappointed in both. Unpleasant bitterness lingering on the back of the tongue and a lot of greenness. Maybe (hopefully?) they’ll get better with time... but I’d rather have $34 rather than 8 cans of these beers

 

Getting rid of any?

 

Bought both. Only tried silver coat but while it's "good" it's certainly no standout. I'm drinking a Blazed Orange right now and actually like it better second go around now that it's had an extra week or two. Hoping same will occur with the SC.
