    Hello Oregon beer friends, I was at 3 Floyd's today and picked up a bunch of the Dust, was there any recent or fairly recent Channing's of 3 Way, I would be up for shipping ASAP if there is someone who wants to work out a trade IF there is some fairly fresh 3 Way. I know about the trade forum for beer, hoping one Oregon post here to find out if there is still some fresher 3 Way around, then we can BM to do a trade. Thanks for any info, BM me if info is a trade.

    Sadly 3 Way is done for the season...fresh ones won't be back until late spring, I think.

    Last canning was 8/27 I believe. I found one last one at the back of my fridge a few days ago and it was still delicious. It will be missed.

    And next year will be different sadly. Hopefully this years recipe will find it's way back in some form or another.

    Yeah, I was going to say that if the OP doesn't mind some two month old cans, I'm sure (well, fairly sure) that I could find some collecting dust at one of the local MofC's in town.

    Personally, I'd be a bit hesitant to buy any at this point, but if you don't mind some 3 way that is at this point likely several months old, beermail me stouts4me.

    I too would think that the hops will have majorly dropped off by now, and it would not be half the beer it was when it was fresh.

    Bummed out, well, hopefully they watch reviews and such, and do this again, thanks for the info guys!

    I heard a rumor that FG may be retooling the Optimist IPA with mosaics, thanks to recently acquired hop contracts, and pushing it closer to what 3Way was. Which would be huge, obviously.

    That would be fantastic. I thought Optimist was solid but didn't really stand out.

    I don't think they'll need to look at reviews. Sales records should convince them just fine.

    3-Way, Ft George Fresh IPA, and Sticky Hands are the best IPAs I have ever had.

    2 of them are retired and one is available once every 6 weeks. Damnit

    You'll just have to drown your sorrows in RPM, Hop Venom, Pallet Jack, Head Shake, Fork Lift. It's a tough life.

    (Also, make sure to try the new Chasin Freshies)

    There are still cans of Ft. George fresh hop IPA down here in Eugene. Is it all gone up your way?

    I haven't seen it for a couple weeks, but Whole Foods in downtown Portland posted pics of a few cases on Twitter today.

    Wait, this beer gets canned? I am new in town, and was blindsided by the awesomeness of 3-Way pretty soon after getting here. They had it on tap at Tin Bucket on Williams last weekend - it wasn't until I went to fill my growler there (it's a dedicated growler place) and got turned away that I understood how in demand this stuff is.
