    Comparing the actual best batch of galaxy Bowl, batch 4, to Nastradamus is an insult I won't soon forget.

    Batch 1 was damn near perfect...the last batch, which I think was last summer, was amazing after a couple weeks.

    Batch one dropped nearly 4 years ago. Highly unlikely the folks claiming this batch was superior to every batch that followed clearly remember

    Hopefully the new GB will be like Nas on BET Awards last week.

    HB confirmed there is going to be a 2nd drop from them later this week in addition to today’s GB. Bughouse square and a new milkshake listed on their site

    Big stack of Galaxy Bowl at Oak Trail in the north burbs. If that is any indication, looks like they made a good amount.

    This may be the first Hop Butcher 4 pack I’ve picked up that wasn’t cold and wet. That scares me.

    anyone have it over lunch?

    Hop Butcher has made west coast IPAs and/or non-hazy IPAs right? Anyone know which ones or what they're called? Only one I could find in googling was 'Your Wish Is Granted'. Had a friend ask me and I didn't know the answer. Thanks.

    The first batches of a lot of Hop Butcher IPAs were non-hazy and didn't include any lactose. I wouldn't really call them "west coast" style, as they always seemed to target the fruity and "dank" hop flavors. A lot of them became hazy and sweeter on the second batch.

    This batch of GB is pretty good. The galaxy isn’t as pronounced, but there aren’t really any off-flavors either. Well, besides the lactose...

    But B1 still holds the belt.
