    Yeah, i don't really get the crazy demand either, especially because I think it's the 3rd best hoppy beer they make, behind both flightless and Obligatory.

    Gotta strongly disagree that Flightless is better than Juice is Loose. I like Flightless but I don't think it's nearly as flavorful & enjoyable as JIL.

    Never had Obligatory sadly so I can't dispute you there.

    Give me any of those three (JIL, Obligatory, Flightless) and I'm a happy man. All great in their own rights, all different styles.

    To each their own, I just love the how the Hop aroma comes through in Flightless. It's both dry and sweet at the same time.

    You're all wrong. I think Honeystone is better than The Juice is Loose, but it doesn't have the word Juice in the title... Also, I like Cromulent and Flightless over Obligatory.

    Flightless has been my favorite of them all too. More for us I guess!

    Anyone know if anything is left as far as cans go? Thinking about swinging by today.

    If someone is there at open, please post an update. Leaving Chicago for Indianapolis shortly and trying to decide whether or not to take a detour.

    Did you end up going? Interested to hear the current status.

    I did not. It sounded pretty likely that Resinate was the only thing left in cans, so it didn't seem worth adding an hour to my drive down to indianapolis.

    Am I losing my mind? Can nobody else see my response about what was left?

    You're right, I'd definitely lose my mind if we had a phone...

    Given how quickly these were going isn't it feasible that this could have changed? I appreciate and saw your reply. I was just looking for an update.

    Your Facebook also stated only a couple cases of honeystone were left. I think it's very reasonable that a line could have been there at open and the honeystone gone immediately.

    Not sure what point you're trying to make here...

    I saw it, but was intrigued to know how the inventory was later in the day (although not really sure why, since I'm driving by tomorrow and you're obviously not open, and won't be coming back through until Wednesday). With the way your inventory disappears, who knows what was left by time evening rolled around.

    If you decide to have some new stuff available for next Wednesday when I roll through, that sure would be great. :wink: I don't want that to come of as "jerky", since you have a well respected "regular" lineup, so that's all said in jest...and knowing you probably aren't planning on new stuff a week after you just did this last week. Cheers!
