    If you can find DFH 90minute within a month of the bottling date it is insanely good. It will ruin that beer forever for you though. Once it "turns" it is very malty and sweet though.

    Has there ever been a DFH 90 Minute within a month of bottling in Texas in the history of Dogfish Head? Because I've never seen it. Sits on the shelves in Austin collecting dust.

    Typically kegs at Flying Saucer, Gingerman, Petrol Station, etc...don't remember the last time I saw a fresh bottle though.

    I've come across them a hand full of times. It's a completely different beer. I always check the bottles every time I go in the store to make sure I don't miss it when it is fresh. But most of the time they are a couple of months old.

    I am not a big IPA fan, but some really good ones are on tap for growler fills now at Premium Draught. Brooklyn Blast, Racer 5, and Racer X.

    Premium Draught also has Hop Manna from Shmaltz... which is one of the few IPA's this non IPA lover likes...

    Nope, but they are open today. This is a recent tweet:

    "Yes, we will be open from noon until 9PM NYE. We will be closed on New Year's Day though."

    Get it while you can:slight_smile:

    Oh man... wish it was on my way to the party I'm going to tonight... a growler of Hop Mana and one of Santa Fe Java Stout would be epic
