    Totally agree that it's gimmicky and that BJCP doesn't touch this stuff. Came to the aforementioned/unofficial benchmarks from talking with industry folks and beer nerds.

    They also said "bottles coming soon" on instagram. Not sure if that was a general statement, or if they meant they are bottling Apples and Pears soon.

    For the low, low price of $99.99 I'm sure.

    Wow. Though the same thing, maybe he means helped him realize this scene is shitty with no trade-able beers besides the Voodoo Barrel Room stuff and vintage Gratitude?

    Welcome!

    Jester King Repose has hay in it and is great. Curious to try these offerings.

    No I'm Andy Stigs the Sixpoint hater. If you wanna order a Big Daddy and drink sour beer though I'll pretend to be related to you.

    Is Hopslam 12-packs or case only? If anyone wants to grab a case anywhere I'll take half.
