    Well, I know I'm certainly stoked about this. Summer crusher!?!

    We'll see... the low ABV has me nervious... Will it be just another hop water, like they did to Bitter Brewer? I'm hoping for pseudoSue North, but we'll see...

    (PS, I checked the Surly web site, and I now see that Bitter Brewer is listed as "retired." Too bad it went out on such a low note. It used to be really good.)

    From what I hear they've already changed the recipe and it's not as good as it used to be

    I heard it's already too old. Those hops fade fast you know.

    I'm pumped for this. I love that it's 4.5% ABV. Could be a great boat beer

    Hopefully it's actually decently priced. I love Surly, but only buy the 4-packs a few times a year. If I lived in next to a Total Wine, it might be different. Then again, we wouldn't have that amazing new brewery without $12.99/4 packs of Coffee Bender and $18 Abrasive.

    You must be in one of those high buck neighborhoods...Coffee Bender is down to $9.99 at my local store.

    If the quality is anything like evil twin's citra sunshine slacker and it's priced with furious/overrated, this is gonna sell really really well

    Don't you know that Citra is the "it" hop? :wink:

    Is a Costco near you? Abrasive is only $11.99 or 12.99 (can't remember). I think Furious is only $7.50. BA Darkness this year was $18.99, or $19.99.

    Oh my word, I can't wait for this.

    Editing to add I have been waiting for Surly to make a Pale for a long time.

    There is actually. I'll have to check them out. Does the liquor store require a membership?
