    It will be interesting if it is Bandwagon. I think Bandwagon is pretty good, but I can't really imagine ever buying it if Furious was also available.

    If you are a Bears or a Cubs fan, you will never be truly disappointed. However the Bears have won 4 more games head-to-head against the Packers, so I guess we are the better team.

    Maybe this will replace Hell as the mid-summer seasonal since it went year round?

    Now with Sucks and Overrated, will Stone follow suit with "Blows"?

    Todd tweeted this earlier today
    "@mikeboeve they are both "Am. IPA's" so I can only assume that people might think they are similar. New hop variety for us so we're stoked!"

    So, it can't be the same as bandwagon...which I still have yet to try damnit!!!

    Hmmm...a Super Bowl MVP, 2011 season MVP, and top QB rating in 2011 and 2012 suggest otherwise.

    And Surly rules!

    I assumed this was going to be canned Bandwagon, but I guess not? If so that's pretty awesome! What's the new hop variety mentioned above. New to Surly or new to the scene like Belma or Mosaic??

    Also, go Packers! Any haters are jealous.

    Actually don't know, I just read a lot of reviews that said the bottled stuff was terribad, and I think they just changed owners.

    Yeah the Bandwagon in caps on the label is probably a little hint at what the brew could be. Will be nice to try this brew having never been to Target Field.

    Probably similar or even very close, but not the same beer.

    When asked via Twitter if OVER RATED would be year round or seasonal Todd Replied with "occasional!" I feel weird quoting people from Twitter especially since I have never met Todd in person, but he does post here from time to time so I guess it's all good.

    I wear jumping boots. No bandwagon is too high or too full for me.
    Overrated beers are my whales.

    Looks like this was the original plan according to the Surly newsletter:

    Overrated News
    This week, artwork for our upcoming canned West Coast IPA, Overrated, was leaked on the Internet. The unicorn-themed can art (below) was what we really wanted for Overrated but the Feds denied our artistic vision. They said it was too appealing to underage drinking, as if adults can't be into unicorns and rainbows?! Pfft. It's a little over the top, that's the joke...
