    Me too.

    From the Notes on the beer's BA page which were probably written by the brewery: "....this crimson-hued ale...."

    I don’t know what happened to Red IPA’s but hope the same thing happens to NEIPA’s!,

    That was a great beer. So much better than lucky 13.

    Red seal when fresh is great
    Hop rod rye, Taste great from memory
    Red Rocket
    Always wanted to try Tocobaga
    Is Shark nite still brewed?

    Lots of good beers in this category

    Enjoy

    Purchased the Oskar Blues mix 15pack at Harris Teeter in Kernersville for $15.99. They should have at Harris Teeter off W Market St in Greensboro.

    Shark Attack from Port is another Red I haven't seen in ages. That goes for most Port beers. I wonder how they are doing financially.

    I can’t speak to your local options/distribution, but I would have to re-title this as Black IPAs. There are definitely some that have disappeared like Flipside or Pataskala, but I haven’t really sought them out and just off the top of my head I can think of several that I’ve had in the last year or so. Without G’ Night or Alaskan, I’ve had:
    Cigar City Tocobaga
    Columbus Brewing Citra Noel and Uncle Rusty
    Sierra Nevada Celebration
    Masthead Sleigh All Day and Midwest Red
    Modern Times Blazing World
    Fat Heads Bone Head
    Tröegs Nugget Nectar

    Plymouths are gone and I had a 1967 Valiant, with the undestroyable slant 6. I drove to the west coast thrice, eventually going to 665000 miles when the odometer stopped.

    I do wish there were more of this style available but Tocobaga was always one of my faves.

    Found them at HT, $15.99 here too, looking forward to the GK. Didn’t check the date, but if they’re fresh that’s a perfect 15 pk, every beer is better than good, and one is new to me. Thanks for the heads up. G Knight is a perfect TGIF beer.
