    Hey @vurt , would you mind throwing out a ball park figure on price per 4-pack or case if possible?

    Seems like the growing consensus is positive with this release. Kinda funny because Fort George's owner Jack Harris seems to still be fighting this whole "Haze Craze". This from his comments at the brewery and on various podcasts. He's definitely not alone, but it sure seems like more brewery's in the PNW are succumbing to their resistance ($$$).

    I really think Rueben's, Great Notion, Urban Family, Skookum, and Structures are increasingly producing fantastic beers with this style.

    I think Jack may have chosen Reuben's and Great Notion precisely because he didn't/doesn't see what the big deal is. He just got two of the best local producers of the style to help him make a version that he could co-sign. Maybe he's changed his mind about them, maybe he just gained some knowledge he never directly uses but it subconsciously influences a beer down the road. The more cross-pollination among Brewers, the more we benefit.

    Pretty sure it was $72 for a case, or $12 for a 4-pack. That's before the 10% discount for buying a case.

    Was down in OR over the weekend and can confirm the reports that this year's 3-way is fantastic!

    The cans I bought at the brewery were all date stamped on the bottom of the can.

    Just noticed that it's currently on tap at Belmont Station (or at least it was as of yesterday evening). Am hoping to make it over this evening to give it a try.

    Had it on draft for the first time last night after having had several cans over the past week. Cans are superior to draft, IMO. The cans have a great juiciness and a nice, bitter finish. I thought the draft lacked the juiciness and was more astringent & bitter.

    Since June of 2016. Even got married this past year (in October). Was told it would make me seem more respectable. Still waiting for that to happen (though married life is pretty good otherwise).

    Welp. After talking with some friends who have also had it on draft at other places, they disagree with my assessment. Maybe something was up with the lines at the place I was at. Guess that just means I'll have to head to my regular spot today and try again.

    Seems like I have been just a few minutes ahead of you the last couple of days. I agree with this assessment. I enjoyed the pint I had at b2 this afternoon much more than I did the pint I had yesterday at the other place.

    I picked up a 4-pack today at the Safeway in Tanasbourne Village (185th & Cornell).

    I didn't see any at the Tanasbourne Whole Foods further west on Cornell, but I don't doubt they'll have plenty soon enough.

    On the subject of hazy IPAs, the Trader Joe's near the aforementioned Safeway has bombers of Modern Times Accumulated Knowledge for $6.99. I picked one up because I haven't tried it before. And also for Science.

    Accumulated Knowledge is great. Had some of the earlier batch that my parents brought back from San Diego late last year. Really solid.

    And strangely it's 50 cents more at TJs in Seattle.

    First, I've had nice NEIPAs from all of those breweries you mention when visiting the PNW. Should throw in Fremont to that list as well. Really liking that Portland and Seattle are starting to produce more in this style. Now the Entire West Coast from SD to Vancouver, BC are making beers that render the ISO: Trillium, TH, OH less necessary

    B, how did I miss this year's 3Way release when I was in Seattle last week?! I even went to Reuben's on Monday! Oh well, that Reuben's/Alvarado Street collab International Juice was awesome. Drank the crowler I stashed in my checked bag last night lol

    Trifecta, will these cans still be around at the end of June when I'm back in the Northwest??

    Just stopped by a TJs in SF this evening to grab some Accumulated Knowledge bottles (and because my wife told me to go in order to pick up some things for her, but that's not the point). Looking forward to trying it out when it chills a bit!

    Picked up a 4-pack today at my neighborhood New Seasons along with the new Beer Camp. I'll be interested to see how the Treehouse collaboration compares to 3-way.
