    Casanova tweeted that it will start being available Aug 5th in WI. Not sure when it will arrive in Hudson.

    Casanova's FB page says that Speedway Stout will be limited the first month.
    Can't wait.

    I'll go out of my way for their IPA!

    Alesmith is one of the most consistently excellent breweries in CA, that I think flies under the radar for most people. Speedway has been how much of the country seems to have found out about them with the increase in popularity of beer trading and specifically coffee stouts. But they are top notch across the board and always have been. Now if they can just make it to MN.

    Just showed up at Casanova this afternoon. Small quantities, so all varieties are limited right now.

    Between Nova and Chicone's there was a bunch of SS. SS, Grand Cru, and Horny Devil were all $12.99. The IPA is $6.49.

    Picked up 2 IPAs and 2 Stouts today - bottled on 7/24 (IPA) and 7/22 (Speedway), so probably as fresh as can be expected.

    Agreed. One of the best non-barrel-aged stouts out there, IMO.

    IPA with < 2 weeks has got to be simply fantastic!
    I love that beer - and now I'm very jealous.

    Will have to run over there tomorrow and grab a couple bottles of Speedway hopefully.

    Do they happen to have BA Boris still? Saw they got it in last last week but I haven't had time to driver over there.

    Would anyone be willing to grab a couple BA Boris for me and I'd gladly compensate and pick them up? If bottles are still available of course.

    Got some bottles today and when I got home realized one of the IPA bottles had a small crack in the neck. I let it cool in the fridge and then went to drink it, thinking it would be ok still. But it was flat as can be. Might have to make another run to Hudson tomorrow.
