    I don’t want to give away too many of my secrets, but they update their website every saturday with the beers that are dropping that week.

    They'll do this around holidays so their crew can enjoy a 3-day weekend. At least they give us a heads up.

    Beef Trip’d might have been limited as well. Beer Cellar was selling 2-packs at 1pp

    Luckily I was able to find DG still on the shelves today. Passed on Beef Trip'd however. Anyone have it and is it any good?

    If I remember correctly, boozy IPA's are not your bag.

    If so, you made the right choice.

    It's got a nice peach / bubblegum vibe that I'm enjoying, but the booze heat is present.

    They are not. I enjoyed TRYING HB's triples before, but an entire 16ozer is too much let alone a 4 pack. 10% is going to be a tough sell for me unless it is a top tier barleywine or imperial stout.

    The beer that launched Hop Butcher's reputation returns next week...Galaxy Bowl!

    I heard this one is even better than batch 1.*

    did people like Batch 1? I assume they didn’t and each batch got incrementally better as processes became dialed in?

    No, it was more like the discography of Nas. The first album accepted as perfection, and the rest variations on diminished returns. This is all ancient history now, though.

    Was batch1 October 2016? That beer was great... but galaxy in 2016-2017 was great. I would wager that this batch of galaxy bowl will be “green”, “peppery”, and “harsh”.

    For people who don't listen to rap...maybe the Strokes would be analogous? I'm not a fan, but my friends that are seem to view them the same way.
