    Depending on the release you can probably find some in some shops still during the weekend. If you come up empty handed shoot me a message and I can maybe set you up with a few cans as I'll be in the city Saturday for a late lunch.

    that entire phrasal adjective should be hyphenated ("shooting-star-like lights").

    just sayin' . . .

    I guess I'll pass then. If a brewer let's the can name slip by with grammatical errors then who knows what they are missing on the brewing side...lactose?

    I prefer the route where people firmly land on 2 sides of the debate and argue it ad nauseam for no real good reason until everyone is ready to gouge their eyeballs out.

    ^That actually sounds like something HB would name a beer....

    New HB beers at Binnys Grand. Only 2 cases of I Want To Believe. Super limited amount of the new glass.

    I miss when IWTB wasn't a hazy NE-style. The first time it dropped with Destination Moon, it was a fantastic, West coast-y IPA. They said on Twitter that the recipe hasn't changed, but c'mon

    i think you misunderstood. It was hazy in '18. So when they said "no adjustment this year" they were not lying. The adjustment would have been between b1 and b2. We are on b3 or b4 now. I think this is batch 3, because i'm guessing its a once a year beer.

    That's fair.

    I just wish it was still a beer that kicked your teeth in with hops and didn't feel like you ate a meal after a can.

    we aren't in dispute over that. All of my favorite hop butcher beers are clear or sub 6%

    I'm a fan. Probably tastes like every 6% NEIPA out there, but it's good

    B2 was hazy, but it was also pretty bitter for a hazy IPA. Not as bitter as B1 though. I really liked both B1 and B2. Pretty sure this is B3, which I haven't gotten to try yet.

    Regardless of hazy/not hazy, IWTB is my favorite can of all time.

    Hi y'all - heading up to Chicago next Friday. What bottle shop would be my best chance for grabbing some downtown? Cheers!
