    Surprised I couldn't find a thread about this...my apologies if I searched poorly & missed one.

    Looks like it's being released Friday @ the brewery

    http://halfacrebeer.com/blog/2014/4/30/galactic-double-daisy-cutter

    "What we're offering is the generous and tactical use of Galaxy hops bled dry of their tropical oils and a two headed donkey dodging interplanetary enemies.

    This the 4th year we've brewed Galactic Double Daisy Cutter in honor of Chicago Craft Beer Week.

    If you've had it in the past, you'll remember this beer dangles in the brackish waters of modern day hop farming and youthful brewing. Australian hop producers bred a strain that fires out passionfruit and citrus so brewers can stroke brains into island driven sensory showdowns. This Double Daisy Cutter variant is brewed once a year and is well suited for outside dining, wasting time and making fun of your closest friends.

    So, if you're free please do stop over and stock up on some of this sticky snack.

    DETAILS:
    • Release Date: 5/2/14 @ noon
    • 22oz Bottle: $9.99 (limit 4 per person)"

    I'll be in Chicago from 5/9 - 5/12, any chance this sticks around that long? Plan on stopping by Half Acre while I'm in the city

    I'd say there is pretty much no chance it lasts that long.

    I picked the wrong day to have my vasectomy. Does this make it outside of the brewery ever?

    I'll be shocked if this isn't at least on in the tap room all through CCBW. Pretty disappointed they aren't doing growler fills but if that's what it takes to keep it on tap so be it. Per ounce price in the tap room will probably be the same so you aren't missing anything if you can't get bottles.

    They said it will hit distro so there's a chance you can find it in a bottle shop.

    This is probably a 22oz bottle. It'd take at least two, probably 3 benders to be fair

    This. If I remember correctly, it was being poured at BUG last year. There's a good chance that'll be the case this year.

    Just moved to the Chicago area and start my new job on Friday, so can't make it down...anyone in the know on these limited releases from Half Acre care to chime in on whether it should still be around this weekend?

    Regular Double Daisy can last but GALACTIC wont make it past Friday night, if even the afternoon.

    Last year due to dumb luck / good timing I took my Brother to the tap room and it was the day of this release. The limit was 6 bombers, I think, and there were LOTS of people buying the full amount at 1pm on a Tuesday (or whatever weekday it was). Reports on this board said it was sold-out by 6pm.

    Definitely their best beer, yes I also wish it was in cans like the day of the Revolution Brewery Grand Opening and yes it'll probably sellout before I'm out of work. Sucks, but I'll live.
