    That seems to have been resolved in the last few months. At least to a degree.

    It's just logic and knowledge as someone who enjoys brewing beer. And yes, a 15% beer is no longer an IPA IMO. if anyone wants to send me a bottle in an attempt to prove me wrong, I'll happily send some Chicago brews your way.

    I don't care much for 120 but it still tastes like an ipa

    Only had 120 minute a couple times, both times it was aged around 2-3 years, and both times I thoroughly enjoyed it. Heard it's just nasty fresh though fwiw

    I had a Batch 5000, last night, and really enjoyed it. The 15% was very hidden. Huge Royal Orange hoppiness. I think you'll all enjoy it.

    Does a bottling line like the one in Elk Rapids, assuming it's made there and not hand bottled at the pub, need any sort of pricey modification in order to accomodate a different size like these 22 oz. bottles? Or is it robust enough that it can adapt to different sized bottles pretty easily. I remember when taking the tour there that it's a million+ dollar bottling line from Germany, so I'm sure it has all the bells and whistles.

    Yeah, it can adapt. It's the f'n Ferrari of bottling lines.

    Was just wondering the same thing. I've seen/heard nothing so far.

    It's not even out at the pub. I was just up there. Was told today though maybe.

    Asked at one of my local places, they're telling me if it's released today, they'll probably see it Wednesday. The Hunt is on.
