    Casey recently showed up around Chicagoland to do some collabs and they brought some bottles and draft with them. Beer Temple had an event and The Open Bottle had 4 or 5 different bottles available. Anyone pick some up? I grabbed a bottle of each of the fruited ones

    I also grabbed a bottle of each, had to go to 2 bottle shops in my area (beer cellar, surprising only had one, but beer and now had everything). I regularly go to colorado and have hard time finding casey, i've actually had more luck finding his stuff pre-casey done as R&D with golden/coors.

    $10.99 for single cans. Makes regular unleaded look like a bargain by comparison

    Yeah I think it was $10.99 for the single cans and $33 and change for 4 packs.

    Apparently they are flash pasteurizing now, so the beer is shelf stable.

    Is 450N donating the proceeds to U-Haul for the sudden collapse in truck and hand-truck rentals? Or have their prices always been absurd? I've been too busy laughing at every aspect of them to really even dedicate any cognition their way. Also, diabetes.

    $10 a can was once the secondary market, and now it is shelfie price. The slushie market is deteriorating. Thanks be to God!

    Will report back. Grabbed a few of the more highly “rated” ones in the drop. I feel like the Drekker/Energy City/Phase 3 fruiteds scratch the itch at a still healthy $5 a can. So these will have to be special to be more than just a one time thing

    Had the Pineapple House one. Lots of pineapple juice mixed with sweet pineapple candy (think gummy bear). It was good.

    I just opened Pretty Bird which is the J Wakefield/Civil Society collab. This is a really tasty DDH hazy.
