    "Just Tapped!
    Maplewood (Chicago, IL)
    Big Pulpy
    DDH Double IPA - Hops (Citra/Mosaic/El Dorado)
    ABV: 8.0%
    RateBeer.com|BeerAdvocate.com
    Sizes and Prices:
    3oz - $3.5 6oz - $7 "

    Damn dude. There's literally a BA stout on tap (albeit one that's 7% abv) that gives you double the pour for the same price (13 oz for $7.50).

    ...sure, but does the stout taste like Roger?

    I paid $5 for a 5oz pour at the Libertyville Craft Beer Store on Tuesday. Really wanted to try it and I have to say it’s the best DIPA I’ve had from Maplewood.

    Wow. My hopes that Maplewood would present a cost effective alternative to the Chicago NEIPA scene seems to have not only been dashed, but emphatically spiked in my face.

    Sleep deprived or not, it's good to see you back in old form.

    Had Drink Dat Citra then Galaxy Bowl after. Everyone liked Drink Dat Citra much more. There was a weird musky pine flavor in Galaxy Bowl and an unpleasant finish. Would not buy GB again.

    I have found the GB tastes different based on when you have it. I loved it as a first beer. The finish wasn’t as good when I had a sweeter Corridor beer before it the next night. Just my two cents

    I always wait about a week after canning to have any Hop Butcher. I’ve found it mellows out. The sweet spot for me with them is 1-3 weeks.

    My brother and I each cracked cans of Galaxy Bowl last night, and it was not good. Drain poured. I hear people saying it needs a week or two...if this ends up being good, it’ll be an all time comeback story.

    GB is absolutely green right now; just had my first can tonight. I think a week will help and 2 weeks will make it top tier.

    Slanted is great (Pollyanna); 7.5%, nice aroma but very smooth and flavorful going down. They have nailed the style pretty much every time I have tried one of their NEIPA offerings.

    Saw at the Beer Cellar..
    Hailstorm Day Zero NE Double IPA...
    This brew is a collaboration with Omega Yeast. Day Zero Dryhop was fermented at 95°F with Hornindal Kveik yeast. Dry hopped at the time the yeast was pitched and again on Day 2 of fermentation. Then packaged seven days from brewing. Hops use Loral and Galaxy.

    I was curious about this (saw pics on IG), mostly because a collab with a company that does yeast (yeastery?) is a little different.

    Very cool idea. It's a blend of different strains that ferment in half the amount of time (7 days), which means more turnaround, and costs just as much as other yeasts.

    EDIT: And it tastes fucking awesome!

    Grabbed Dank Meme at Binny’s for the first time. $9.99 and 4 days old is cool. Did they drop Really Dank Meme anywhere around here?
