    Anyone know if Dreadnaught (3F) will be made again? I haven't seen in in a while.

    It was out in 4 packs a coupla months back. You can still find Arctic Panzer Wolf in 4 packs now. It's rotating so it will be back but I'm not sure when.

    FFF's schedule last year was the following:
    Q1 - APW
    Q2 - Dreadnaught
    Q3 - War Mullet
    Q4 - Permanent Funeral
    If it still holds this year (they did release APW the same in 2021 so maybe it will), you should see Dreadnaught around April.

    Well, this is getting strange. This was probably my favorite all time beer, then they released it in four packs last year. The recipe had obviously changed as the abv was different and it just wasn't the same to me. Now this year, the abv is different again. I will buy with the hopes that it is returning to my favorite beer but a little worried they are just finding cheaper ingredients to brew this to sell at this price point.

    Agreed! I was very excited that they released it in 4 packs but it wasn't the same imo. It used to be my favorite Double IPA....maybe my palate is different but I somehow doubt it.
    I'll likely buy another 4 pack this time around hoping for the best. A shop nearby me still has an old bomber in their cooler. I've been tempted to buy it even though I know it probably hasn't aged well.

    Also had this same issues last year, here's hoping that it will not be a malt bomb this time.

    I think some of this is palate shift. We used to drink tons of malt bombs, so we were used to it and and over time IPAs shifted away from malt. But I could be wrong.

    Had one tonight from the current batch and it tastes great. Just my opinion, but I like balance - malts and hops working in harmony.

    Beer kumbaya and all that.

    But what do I know?

    I picked up a 4 Pack at Binny’s

    When did they change the label?

    I haven’t had this in so long it pre-dates my Untappd account

    I feel like this was in bombers originally?

    yes..it was a bomber format, along with Arctic Panzer Wolf (and pretty much anything other than Zombie, Alpha King, Robert the Bruce..I'm sure I missed one or two )

    I try not to complain, but I miss the days of going to the kiosk and getting beer that was dated within a few days of purchase. I went in January and bought ZD from the kiosk that was nearly a month old. That blows.

    Then you also remember the days when they'd do a Facebook announcement of a fresh batch of Zombie Dust and dudes would almost immediately be lined up and it wouldn't last. Then they'd have to put the "No Zombie Dust" sign on the door. Days old hoppy beers are a beautiful thing. Personally I liked Zombie Dust better when it was Cenotaph and it wasn't a big deal.
