    Still waiting for CK&S in LGP to stock HB mate, then I'll be set

    I'll add Memoria from Hill Farmstead to that as well. I was at a bar in Mass and ordered Society & Solitude #7 first, then Memoria.... my 3rd order was Memoria. I ordered it every day that I went to that bar (Armsby Abbey).

    Yup. Poetica too. I've very much gravitated to these styles lately much more so than thick hop bombs. Just so much more refreshing and the lower abv makes my head feel lighter and clearer.

    Totally agree with Maplewood. Was just there a few weeks ago and damn, every IPA I had there was stellar. I missed out on Cuppa Breakfast, but the BA version sounds like it could be damn good.

    Picked up a 4-pack of Chain Link at Binny's on Grand at lunch, they had a couple of cases still sitting on the floor along with some P3 glasses.

    From the few P3 I've tried, it seems like what they're going for is a maximum soft mouthfeel without loading the beer up with lactose. That is kind of rare with NEIPAs, seems to me that the drier ones are usually not as soft.

    JC...That’s a lot of Sabro! They dry fucked the shit out of this beer with it. Noticed on the can that that hop is listed before Citra. Maybe their way of telling us which hop is more showcased?

    Tin foil hat down.

    A couple of cases sitting on the floor at Cork and Keg in LGP. My kind of beer hunting.

    Was amazed that they had it on the floor rather than behind the counter

    seems like the last two have been on the floor. i was able to grab discipline for passion the saturday after its release, granted there were only like 3 4-packs left.

    i really like cork and keg, they get some good stuff and it seems to last longer than most places. you have to dig a bit sometimes but its a nice shop.

    Yeah....but they still don't get HB, SE or Riverlands. Still waiting for us to open Crafted La Grange

    I saw Phase Three poured a Strawberry/Chocolate/Hazelnut Curvature at the Voodoo fest. I would make the assumption that will be what’s bottled for local release in the next week or 2

    Looking forward to a "surprise" drop where there is a line of 50 people outside the 3 stores that it goes to and nowhere else!

    Wasn’t it only Crafted where people knew to line up?

    I don't know if he is trying to create his own style or what, but it isn't working. He is getting by on name alone right now and I doubt it lasts much longer.

    He has made great IPA's at every other stop, so I'd have to think what he is doing is somewhat intentional.

    Remember that the people on this board are a very small percentage of the people drinking these types of beers. I have thought every one of his IIPA's have been excellent and I believe I have had four different versions. He is doing just fine.
