    Distro slated for Monday the 12th in PA and expected elsewhere by the end of the month. I really thought this was one of, if not the best, large-distro beer of last year. The name fits the beer as it's boozy but incredibly drinkable. I remember last year's malt bill containing maris and pilsen really tying it together well. Looking forward to this one again.

    Had a 4 pack last year and it was nice. Dont know if it was great and I will not be buying this year. I think it was $12-13, 4x16oz cans

    Had it and loved it last year. Great value, too.

    I'm happy to see this thread. I will definitely get this again when I see it. Living in a land where DIPA tall boy 4-packs regularly go for $18-20 (sometimes more) this is a tasty bargain.

    I rather stupidly passed on this last year. After reading reviews, will not be making that mistake again!

    Great news. I've been hoping Troegs would release it again this year. One of the dankest brews of 2016!

    It has been so hard staring at this stuff in my warehouse all week and not being able to take any home. Monday can't come soon enough.

    Shape of Hops to come is like $9 for a 4 pack of 16oz cans and a much better beer. Year round now too.

    Also made the mistake of trying to get this too late last year after reading reviews and missed it. Got a couple 4 packs this year and glad I did. It is phenomenal! Actually drinking one now. One of the dankest beers out there!

    Why are folks in NC able to get this beer before me and I can drive to the damn brewery in about 1.5 hours?!? :grimacing:

    If you live that close, might as well make the drive and get some Scratch 286 while you are there.

    bought a 4 pack last week and this years is just as good as a last years. very good offering from Troeg's and much better than Shape Of Hops To Come, imo..

    Don't feel bad. I have to drive an hour to get ANY decent beer (aside from a select few beers from the craft giants and local flagships) due to living in the middle of nowhere.

    I had a few the last time it was around, it's an ok beer. Its really well named , it's a big beer but IMO a tad sweeter than I like.
