    Omni is releasing a fresh hop on Sunday as part of their 2nd anniversary. Yesterday they released a raspberry milkshake IPA and a NE DIPA too.

    Nope, it was brewed on sept 9 and they said it would be ready in 4 weeks. I purchased bottles and haven't received a notice.

    I have never been to their brewery, do they do growlers or crowlers of eitherof these/any of their specialty brews?

    They had crowlers of both the Rasp IPA & DIPA on Friday.

    One more thing. The NE DIPA which they called F.A.D. was a little boozy. Not a bad 1st try on a NE style but Disgruntled, Junkyard, and Modist are all better thus far.

    I see Falls Liquor just posted that Founders Harvest just dropped. Anyone had this years yet?

    Just made the 35 minute drive and got some. It's as fantastic as every year. $13. Grabbed my first Lazurite while I was at it too.

    Wow, it seems early this year! Will have to pick up a 4 pack. In years past I've hoarded this stuff but last year it fell off quite a bit.

    Lazurite is damn near amazing though.

    Just poured a bottle purchased from France 44. Bottle date is 9/20/2017.
    Beer is very aromatic upon uncapping. Very clear and bright body, persistent white cap. Taste is fresh hops as described on the bottle - citrus, pine and melon.

    Day Block will be tapping their Anonymo Ale tomorrow. It is a 100% centennial fresh hop double pale ale designed to taste like a fresh hop Two Hearted. I was given a sample off the brite tank a couple days ago, and it was tasting fresh hop dank in all the ways I like.

    founder's harvest ale is hitting all the right fresh hop ipa notes. piney, earthy, dank, hint of melon.
    Looking forward to Lagunita's born yesterday, hope its as good as last year.
