    It is May and I am so happy that Double Trouble, Hoptimum, and Enjoy By are flowing like a river in my state. Founders bravo, this is the correct time for Double Trouble. Stone thanks for this amazing DIPA. Sierra Nevada you know what you are doing. Fresh DIPA's belong when the weather starts to warm. Side note, first time Double Trouble and Enjoy by have been in my state. Happy :slight_smile:

    Don't take this personally, but I hate you.

    I have been seeing lots of fresh Knee Deep brews around, always a good thing

    Those beers aren't flowing like a river around here, though I have found myself lucky to get a taste lately. Hopefully the Hoptimum sticks around longer than Enjoy By does.

    I really do appreciate Stone's dedication to freshness on the Ruination, though, and how I can get it whenever I want. That's one hell of a 'fallback' beer.

    Just bought 2 SIMTRAs bottled 2 weeks ago. Recipe has been tweaked I was told by one of their reps at Boonville last weekend very much so for the better. I agree.

    Hoptimum and Double Trouble have definitely made for a great start to a late spring in MN!

    Definitely more Knee Deep than last year. Drinking a very fresh Hop Stoopid now. Still waiting for Hoptimum.

    Yeah, I'm still waiting for Hoptimum here too. Hasn't hit NYC either, I don't think.

    Heavy Seas Big DIPA, is quite underrated on this site IMO. I freakin' love it!! Super awesome brew. I've been lucky enough to have a local pizza joint that has a great craft selection on tap and one of them is Hoptimum, even more amazing on tap.

    I actually did a vertical with the original release of this, it was actually supposed to be a one off. So glad they keep it coming once a year!

    The original IMO, was nowhere near as good as the new release. It's gotta be the oak they're using now. I agree that it will so great to see this yearly.

    It's an DIPA, why would you vertical it?

    Enjoy By got snatched up in GA, and I haven't seen any Hoptimum in my area (which I'm ok with). I am drinking Great Divide Hercules tonight, which is phenomenal. Plus I have a four pack of Double Trouble that I will drink this week sometime.
