    Nope - it’s clearly a promise that it will be in cans next year, with a wide distro.

    Dude, don't ever assume anything is fresh in LG, especially TG. The LG Miller distributor gets third dibs on shit after Madison and Milwaukee.

    Been looking for it. I see that Bridgeview liqours supposedly has it according to beermenus but not sure I want to drive to Bridgeview just for beer or anything really.

    Just cracked a new bottle of Hopsmack and holy hell why does it taste so different than last years? It was one of my favorite beers and now its just bland. Very disappointing.

    ...on the plus side...this batch of Imperial Golden Nugget is a stunner.

    Will the next batch be this good?

    I honestly don't know, but if you can look yourself in the mirror after buying an IPA bomber (I can), you should grab this one sight. Just enjoyed my 3rd, hope more are still around!

    Honestly wasn't a fully-formed thought on my part. I've had a bunch of issues with freshness in LG.

    What does it taste like? I have no issue buying bombers of beer if I know I'm going to enjoy them but I'm really hesitant to pull the trigger Toppling Goliath of these days.

    What's the date? I walked into a liquor store a few weeks ago and almost picked up a 4 pack until I saw it was dated 8/31....

    Orange citrus & dry wheat notes in the nose. Orange citrus & mild cane sugar flavors up front; dry wheat notes on the finish. No booze heat. Simple, but balanced & flavorful.

    I've seen that August batch around as well, but there's a 10/25 batch on shelves too. I personally didn't pick any up due to the lack of space in my fridge, but that's the newest batch I've seen.

    So I’m sitting here after getting in and trying to make a payment but the checkout screen is still loading. Is this normal?

    People are likely just flooding the hell out of the site, so you may time out and lose that ticket. Then it will get spit back out for someone else to snag and try and purchase as everyone else keeps clicking F5.

    Good for TG, they sold out basically faster than any other time (probably more demand than any other time too), but this was honestly the very worst way for the potential consumer to try and get a bottle.

    I wonder if they try $7 a ticket next time. Was $5 for Assassin and $6 for this and no one really batted an eye. That's an extra grand they brought in doing nothing.
