    I was wondering when Karbach would be releasing a new batch of Hop Delusion. A friend said he had heard next Spring. Does anyone else know more as to Karbach's plans for Hop Delusion? Is it to be only an annual release or do they have plans to eventually make it more often, like quarterly at least?

    Don't know specifics, but I do know Karbach has had trouble getting the same hops as before for HD. At least so far. While they are going to make it again, I am sure it will be slightly different. Which means everyone here will pan it because that is what they do:rolling_eyes:

    I hope they bottle it again. I've only had it on tap at the brewery. I'd like to add to my stash at home.

    They won't make it again until next year. Karbach uses mosaic hops and couldn't get anymore. Reason why they stopped making it. Look for it next year. Maybe last longer with a chance to increase their hop order.

    Yeah, just like how everyone is ragging on 005, when there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. :wink:

    I like 005, but I don't think it was as good. No complaints though.

    Central Market tweeted that they got a case of Hop Delusion. Gotta be leftovers, right? Still no signs of a new batch?

    I have no clue, saw that as well and wondered the same thing.

    its gotta be the original batch. I would assume if they brewed more than we would have all known about it..

    I had one a month ago and it was totally a malt bomb with no hop presence at all. I did not even rate it on untapped since I waited so long to drink it. The first one I had the day it came out reminded me of Avery Maharaja

    Karbach confirmed on Twitter that it's the original batch.

    And next time you see it, it'll probably be in cans
