    I've had a few beers that I consider similar to Permanent Funeral: Galactic Double Daisy Cutter and a newer version of Navaja (both by Half Acre) spring to mind, among others.

    First question is: Has anyone run into a decently easy to get year-round brew similar? I assume nothing exactly the same, but something with a similar hop and malt profile?

    Second question is: I've read that PF using Citra hops, but I've also read Galaxy. I thought I tasted Galaxy hops in there; does anyone know what the hops used in the beer are, for sure?

    Haven't had Permanent Funeral (stupid me when I was there)...but I do know that Knee Deep Simtra is a tasty beer. Assuming spicoli00 has had them both, I'd pick up a Simtra!

    i have had both. good to have friends in cali.

    the PF is like a big boy zombie dust. IMO, simtra is one of the closer beers that i personally have tried but i'll wager that there are others.

    Imo I think sucks is pretty similar. I get juicy/tropical flavors from both.

    Try Deal with the Devil from 18th Street Brewery, the brewery is a little farther from 3Floyds. Also, when I drank PF I pickup on the Citra hops but I don't know about the others.

    Find a Citra brew that's 8% or so and you got it.

    Haymarket Mathias is spot on and usually on draught. Not today of course, but pretty regularly and very, very close.
