    Cake and Bake is outstanding. Worth the trip alone, but put the Honeystone on top of it and it's a must visit to Transient at this point.

    Thoughts on honey stone?

    Also, price on both, if you wouldn't mind?

    Honeystone is the bee's knees. I slightly prefer it to Juice, and I am normally biased toward Citra. Mosaic and El Dorado go well together.

    Price for Cake isn't set yet. Likely 11 or 12. Honeystone is 20/4pack of 16oz cans.

    Cheers

    But...is it a NE IPA?

    (pretending to be joking, actually want to know)

    Sounds a lot like Trillium Cutting Tiles (it was called Artaic when I fell in love with it).

    Honeystone is my favorite of their canned hops so far. Only picked up 2-4pks and passed all together on the C&B due to funds around the holiday season, but C&B was awesome on draft a little while back. On another note I missed fedex yesterday trying to drop off my Neckbeard package. Didn't know that they were shipping out this early.

    Plenty of Honeystone and Cake available today. Both on tap too! Cake is $12 a bottle.

    Transient posted a pic of an article where several of their beers were highly rated in a comparison of NE style PA/IPA/DIPAs. Any idea what site/magazine that came from?

    Honeystone does remind me of Trillium Artaic, the one time I got lucky enough to obtain a bottle. I echo the sediment of others, this one is legit! The top canned offering I've had out of 4 so far

    I see what you did there. Any idea how long this'll last?

    At least 20 cases on the floor next to the shelves of the bottles and quite a large number spotted in the coolers towards the back of the room.

    I wasn't highly impressed with the small pour I had but bought a few 4pks anyways. First can opened is just ludicrous! Half tempted to make the long drive back again. The selection of bottles and cans available is just insane!

    Has anyone received their Neckbeard via the mail yet?

    Just cracked honey stone.

    I think we better enjoy these young days where it's relatively easy to get the canned offerings. I think In the future once the word gets out, it's going to get to be ridiculous.

    It'd be pretty cool if these lasted longer (i.e. a week or longer) due to the holiday.

    They indicated they'd figure out limits today. We'll see what that means, but I'm guessing he's not setting up the limits to last through the entire holiday season.
