    I lost a sixer of Lagunitas Sucks in my garage last year for about 3 months. I figured by the time I popped the first bottle the beer was at least 5 months old and I honestly couldn't tell the difference. Not all IPA's "fall off"...Hopslam on the other hand is a different story.

    Are they making this a semi-regular beer? I don't live near MA but it's not so far away that I wouldn't consider visiting a friend in Boston or something and getting some Kiwi Rising and Hoponious Union if they're around.

    Damn, is it brewed with Summit or something?

    You're sending me Kiwi Lager? No need to do that man, I live right on the CT/MA border. I'm just too lazy to drive up to Sturbridge to grab some. Thanks though, I appreciate it!

    Finishing a Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout now. Had a Cascade Lakes Slippery Slope and my first Sierra Nevada Celebration of the season tonight as well!

    Hoponious is regular but it flies of shelves (at least in my area). You have to grab it 1 or 2 days after it's placed on shelves. Kiwi has been brewed twice I think, those NZ hops must get expensive but I'm hoping to see it again soon.

    Started out with this one, this evening. A little thin, but super solid. Great nose - very coffee/chocolate forward with an interesting fruity twist. Cheers.

    Ah right forgot you're nearby haha. I just thought you would love the NZ hop profile on this! So damn fruity and juicy.

    What's the shelf price for Kiwi? Same as the others? I'm assuming it's a buck or two more.
