    Hmm. Wonder how long it will last today. Trying to hit the links, and don't think I'll be back in the city until later tonight. Hopefully it the lower limits allow it to last longer.

    Some is hitting distro later this week too, I believe. So there's always that fallback option.

    Yeah, I kept checking with the St. Charles Binny's for Snoochie awhile back, and I don't think they ever did get any in.

    Radio Swan was on tap at The Open Bottle last week. Perhaps they'll see the cans as well.

    How is Radio Swan-- How does it stack up to the rest? Heading on a camping trip this weekend thinking of bringing some of this with. Worth scooping?

    It's happiness covered in awesomesauce. If you like rye. If you don't like Rye, it's still fuckin awesome, you just may not like it.

    Are they still around?! They've done an excellent job of cornering the all our light colored beers taste like failed saisons market!

    Definitely was a fan of More's Chemical Connection this past weekend. Even moreso than Loose Candies. Can't say I'm very familiar with Rye in beer -- Is that a pretty good comparison, as far as liking/loving Rye goes?

    I personally love saisons (one of my favorite styles), and I get no saison taste from any of their beers (ipas I'm assuming you were talking about). I do, however, definitely got more of a belgian ipa vibe from certain beers. With FR, Corridor, NW, and Mikerphone doing some great jobs, I don't often look for HB, but a buddy of mine "needs" to try even though I have stated I can get him better options haha.

    i get it, i think HB accidentally made a good neipa on the first/second batch of galaxy bowl. Literally everything after those brews that wasn't a dark beer had more yeast issues than an old woman.

    I had no problems at all. 2 min wait and out the door. This was right at the start of the Snoochie can release. Hope its the same today.

    LOL. I got more of a Belgian yeast vibe from a few but not quite saison. Still I think the NE Saison market is lacking...

    I stopped in around 6 (so about an hour into the release) last time and was in and out with no issues in 2 minutes. No line at all.
