    Stockyad IPA infused with Sriracha would probably go well with a nice hot bowl of Phở. Sounds awesome!

    Anyone confirm growlers will be available? Also, weren't they $85 last time they were out?

    Do they typically do pours, if so, what do those cost? I have no desire to buy a top-filled growler that's worth more than my car.

    thinks it's a 5.5 oz pour, the abv is pretty damn high on this brew.

    I want to say it's $6 or $7 for that pour.

    It's all good. However, if you need some clarification: Go for the Habanero Hummus and pita if you like a bit of spice. The cheesy bread is awesome. The chicken club sandwich is great. Their pizzas are good, and so is their Reuben Soup. And so on... Barley John's tends to be spice forward in general, so you won't find anything lacking in flavor. Watch out for the Chipotle Chicken pizza though, probably the spiciest pizza you'll find in the midwest.

    +99 on the Chipotle pizza. I heard the best rip ever in a restaurant the last time I had it -- I was a couple slices in, and asked for some cranberry juice to cut the heat. The waiter brought it out, and said, "the chef would like to know if we should call the wahhhh-mbulance". Funny as hell.....

    How spicy are we talking here? Are you a spice lover?

    I'm heading down for the release tomorrow, and love me some spicy food. Sounds awesome, but still want to be able to taste my beer... :slight_smile:

    Can't be hotter than chugging down a half a bottle of ghost face killah.
