    I'm not quite sure what it is, but I'm not a huge fan. I mean, I don't think it's AWFUL, but I probably wouldn't seek this one out if it became a regular rotation beer. I seem to be in a minority on untappd, where the average is right over a 4 (I gave it a 3)

    I saw another VCS of that that I swear was a golden color, and allegedly some of them are full of DB Huna... I wonder how many different beers are in those cans :astonished: (also makes it hard to trust the rating)

    That had to have been a rumor, right? Labeling it a DIPA and filling it with a BA stout? I'm sure it gets a 4 because it's ccb and they can do no wrong.

    For being a 9% 750mL, Upper Case went down WAY too quickly. And now I need more....

    I dunno, with a name like "you never know" and it was handed out on Huna day? If I was them I would absolutely put DB Huna in some of them just for the buzz it'd create.

    Think of how quickly it would have gone down if you didn't need to check it in 6 times :grinning:

    They may look the same, but holy hell they are uniquely different. For you coffee fiends out there, I highly recommend you seek out anything made with Dark Matter, or Intelegensia for that matter (@Louis121 will attest). And if you ever visit Chicago, stop by the Rev taproom on Kedzie, awesome place to grab a beer!

    If someone gave me this in a glass and told me it was a Trillium IPA i honestly dont know if i could argue that. No joke its almost like they took a bottle of trillium... had their new scientist run tests and then duplicated something. Its not identical, but its pretty damn close.

    Hey @PA-Michigander (or other folks with crowler experience) -- once I open these, I assume I need to finish it in one sitting? And if I DON'T open one today, how long can I wait to do so?

    @LehighAce06 -- how many checkins do I get for a crowler?

    You could go over the course of a day, max. I would use some saran wrap over it if it's a decent amount of time between pours though - so that last nights leftover tuna sandwich doesn't invade the beautiful aroma of beer.

    Today I am off and working on sixter cans and two ninja bombs if I can find what I want.

    I did try to land tree house cans yesterday to no avail. Enough cans for 150 people and when I got there, they were 300 deep. Staff did a great job of filling growlers I don't know how they d it. It really makes me sad that during releases some of the rudest people in the beer community come out and push and shove.
