    I love that every time I walk to Lazy Acres in my neighborhood they have Alpine... Unfortunately it is not the Alpine that I've drank for years and made the 2.5 hour trek for. Duet has been very underwhelming lately; I've chosen fresh Betty time and again. I have been enjoying the PH which I picked up again tonight.

    Hopefully we will see some of the newest Alpine>GF=Hop Box showing up in our locals.

    How do we know this isn't just an infected Irish red? :grinning:

    For anyone in San Diego, Bine and Vine in Normal Heights had bottles of Hop Boxed today. $7.79, limit 3.

    First time trying it and I thought it was really good.

    it seems to be making the rounds up in LA as well. The GF reach is long.

    Looking forward to next weeks release of " Not Nelson " Substitute the Nelson hops with Southern Cross hops,from what they told me it should be delicious. I had the new Singled Out with Southern Cross and it was really really good, maybe one of the best Singled Out to date and they have all been pretty tasty.

    Cheers……

    Yes it does, they didn't tell me what the other hop is, just that SC will be the main featured hop like Nelson is in the OG.

    Guess thats why its called Not Nelson, but that Singled Out W/SC is definitely worth filling up on.

    Cheers…...

    So does that make Southern Cross Singled out the same beer as not Nelson?

    What does everybody think about "Ned" this time around? I love it, I thinks its even better than the last release. One of my favorite Flanders, but maybe that's just because its from Alpine. I bought my limit at the release, what did everyone else think of it?

    I'm drinking a Hop Boxed bottle and it tastes just like Green Bullet light. Anyone else get that? I wish GF wouldn't make all Alpine beer taste like GF, what's the point?

    Current batch of Ugly is on freaking point. Ned and Dark elixir bottles still available.

    Southern Cross singled out is decent but , but Not Nelson on Friday is gonna be bananas.

    Not Nelson is off the charts. Juicy hazy orange, like Nelson, crushable IPA. I'll gladly take this as the alternate to its older sibling any day. They hit this out of the park. What would be better is if this found itself into semi regular rotation or an Alpine Beer Co. bottling from time to time.

    Cheers……..
