    Yeah, I was giving it a "west loop" markup, and assuming $10 a can for the DIPAs (which would at least be better than $10 a can for the lower ABV stuff).

    Hop Butcher is basically getting a $2/can markup over something like Ninja vs. Unicorn. Yes, that's a little easier to swallow for a DIPA or even a milkshake. $10/can for Grid is a little unconscionable.

    More or less where I'm at. I haven't been in the mood to chase hazy beers (I grabbed M-83 to try it), but Tavern Cut is so good that I might have to reconsider.

    Frankenmuth Brewery really should start making an M-83.

    I had Grid over the weekend and I remember thinking it was ok when I had it last year but whoooooooooo boy this is real good. I don't know if I'm drinking it fresher or they tweaked something but it is stunning.

    IIRC, I feel like Tavern Cut is one of their best?
