    Bottles in Portland $7.99 definitely on the highest end of what it should cost.

    These are in 22 oz bottles? I was hoping for reasonably priced 4 packs.

    They've hit Grape+Gourmet in VA Beach (proly wiped out) and TW on 21st in Norfolk (saw them where the special stash is, I passed on them)

    These are all over the Hampton Roads area (SE VA), saw them in a few other spots as well. Interested to compare- in my mind at least - with Alpine-Alpine bottles which I had a few weeks ago.

    I just did a pre-order this week for the store I manage here in MD. Only kegs were available in August now they are offering 22's and kegs for another release looks like early November.

    Below is something I posted a few days ago discussing my personal experiences in drinking draft Alpine beers in SEPA:

    "I had another draft pint of Alpine beer this past weekend (this was my fourth or fifth pint in the past few months). I will not be buying Alpine beer again. I gave it the old ‘college try’ and these beers are simply disappointing; little to no hop aroma on the hoppy beers (Hoppy Birthday, Duet)."

    Maybe you will have better luck with your Delaware kegs!?!

    Cheers!

    anyone notice that the new bottles call hoppy birthday a session ipa? it's always been labeled a pale ale as far as I know. although, probably the reason it's been possibly my favorite pale of all time is because it basically tastes like an ipa, like the rest of the pales on the short list of ones I like. More hoppy than a lot of actual IPAs.

    I had what I'm assuming was GF brewed Hoppy Birthday on tap at a NY bar over the winter, it was fantastic. I usually hate GF beers so I was definitely excited that I liked this one.

    Odd and disappointing that it costs more than Green Flash's own beer.

    I'll buy plenty of Nelson, but I have no need to ever drink Hoppy Birthday or Duet again.
