    Catch hell ridiculously good again; had both regular and nitro pours. Form of the destructor was a nice bonus tap as well!

    Nope, just Before Land Shook, Benthic, and World of Bog (for BA beers).

    Edit: I’ve been gone for a while, so can’t say what’s available now.

    I’d give it a few weeks before it shows up in the shop.

    I didn't see Navaja among beers listed on their current website. Any word on if it's still in their brewing rotation?

    The previous three releases were March 2020, June 2021 and February 2022.

    Thanks

    I’m bummed that all iterations of Double Daisy Cutter seem to be a hazy beer at this point.

    Not surprised, they have hazed up some of my favorites such as Beer Hates Astronauts over the years. Just release a different label versus destroying a solid to great beer.

    Learned they are now nuking Fader in favor of a Half Acre Lime Lager, Green Torch. Whatever. May hit the brewery for a final Fader pour or two, as I always enjoyed this beer over the years.

    Still seeking Navaja, Pony and Daisy Cutter, at least the versions I have loved over the years.



    But it's craft and "better" than Lime-A-Rita.....

    That’s a bummer on fader. It was such an easy 12 pack to pick up.

    Further proof that Craft Lager is an oxymoron.

    It’s better to burn out than to fader away.

    If people were happy with drinking the same beer over and over again craft wouldn’t exist and we’d all be stuck with Bud and Miller. I can’t imagine Fader is a first choice lager for anyone in a grocery store. It’s a competitive lager market and if you aren’t a top seller it’s time to come up with a new offering or shift resources elsewhere. Anyone have stats as to which craft lagers are being produced most by volume? I’m curious as to what the best sellers are.

    BHA Is not a hazy ipa, gotta disagree here. Although I do agree with the overall observation that most releases are now hazy. Dungeons has sent that way too unfortunately
