    Red IPA, like a red IPA done NE style? Sounds super interesting. I'm into it.

    I won't be able to make it in until about 9. Here's hoping the cans last until then. I hate work.

    Yup yup. Carbing up as we speak. First notes are Terry's Chocolate Orange, lime sweet tea, & spruce caramels. This will be as divisive as it has proven to be in house. Still soft, still hoppy, but broaching the limits of milky-appropriate SRMs. I can attest that I like it and will stand by it.

    Major Label variants are Maple & Vanilla. I can feel DDB flicking its tongue at us.

    Last one is waiting on Kraj's thumbs up. Will update after.

    Will all these, including Frame & Canvas and Ghost Tropic, be flowing tomorrow for lunch?

    Also Pipeworks Raspberry Truffle Abduction infused with Dark Matter Coffee. I think they only did like 10 1/6 barrels?! Can’t wait to try. Went to Binnys event last night and that Encore is amazing if y’all haven’t tried!

    Been here since about 4:15 and the line didn’t look huge from the start and at abkurb7:20 no line at all. Btw @KrajDoesBeer and @NikNikNik hell of a job on both the Ghost Tropic and the stouts. Had the Vanilla and Maple and they were fantastic.

    Ghost Tropic is the best batch of this so far, better than the last tap only version, and in my humble opinion, better than Snoochie even. Really, really great.

    Haven’t had this version, but I think ghost tropic is the best NEIPA.
