Btw, when do they normally start Thursday hours? Memorial Day weekend?

 

I believe last year it started on Memorial Day Weekend.

 

They should name it Shits On Zombie Dust, because let's be honest, it does.

 

Zombie Dust, pfffffffffft.

 

Zombie dust is so 3 years ago. LOL.

 

ANTEAD won Gold Medal in the World Beer Cup tonight. Well deserved!

 

Great, more hype. It sucks, nobody wants it, leave it alone so I can go back to walking in and getting it.

Anybody try the Quad they bottled? I just picked one up and was wondering how it is.

 

Tempted to hit up Kane today and do a flight of just the Hop Labs.

No releases thuogh.

 

Keep refreshing their FB page to see if there's another canning run available today.

 

Damn guess no cans

 

No cans. Was there around 1230 and it was pretty empty. Got a Citra growler and had a beer.

 

That's quite the stretch in my opinion. Zombie dust is a great beer and has been for a long time.

The quad is very good. A lot of dark fruit and some caramel. Picked up another bottle today. Crazy how long vengeful hearts has been around. Had another one of them this week and it's superb

 

+1. Hop Lab Citra is very good but it's not quite the level of sacramental wine as has been portrayed.

Was a great time in Philly even before the medal. Big win for the guys means tough shit for the NJ whiners club.

 

Zombie Dust was a 100% let down for me. I felt cheated having to trade to get it. Citra is on a very high level and others I've sent it to agree. But hey, different strokes.

 

By chance do you remember when your ZD was bottled? I have limited experience with ZD, but the first time I had it was in January with a bottle date from October, and I felt the same as you - I didn't understand the hype. Then I had a bottle in mid-March with a bottle date of late February and it was a world of difference. I find that, typically, we're all a bit obnoxious with the "freshness" of IPAs these days, but this was an example where I saw a drastic difference.

 

I had it last year, I know I drank it within 30 days of bottling but couldn't tell you much more than that.
