    I never understand why you would leave the office to drink beer :slight_smile:

    It was quite good. Also digging the keep the glass from H&P. Not that I need any more glass ware.

    It was still on at Falling Rock as of lunch-time today. I enjoyed it: Nice bitter, hoppy flavor and a nice body. Good stuff.

    Picked up a 6pack this morning and while I agree with the majority of people that think it's a delicious beer, I really don't get the hype that this thread has created?? Timed tappings at bars for this?? Very solid fresh hop brew, but waaaay overhyped. Just my .02

    Fire on the Mountain in the Highlands has it on tap, at least they did today. I thought it was decent but I don't know about timed tappings, it's certainly not line-up-and-wait-good.

    Got a 6 at Molly's this evening. Lovely citrus nose, crisp mouthfeel, quite delicious as expected.
    But Honestly I don't get waiting in line or driving across town for any beer, not
    even PTY but hey that's just me. And for what it's worth I think the Fremont Cowiche Canyon Fresh Hop is a step
    above Born Yesterday.

    Some alluded to timed tappings and also timed retail releases, that sort of thing that builds hype and gets
    people to wait in line when something of note is released or distributed. Not sure if it's actually happened for
    Born Yesterday.

    They or their distributor did a very good job of marketing.

    I enjoyed it.

    It's a very good fresh hop pale ale. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Lukas has 6ers I grabbed the last one last night but was told they had more. Agree with the above on it being a decent ipa probably not warranting the price point but def solid. Make sure to pick up some brown sugga too while you're at it!

    Agree with this beer probably not warranting the price point (I believe I paid 11.99, which is on the high side for Lagunitas) but it got me wondering if the higher price had to do with the shipping cost and getting this distributed in a timely manner?

    Had one at WOB Cherry Creek (in a Comrade pint glass, no less) and I think it's much better than OK, if not quite as good as @dauss's entry in this field. But excellent. Note it's a pale ale rather than an IPA, unless I misunderstand.

    I thought it was great. Quite delicious and yes its there Dogtown pale ale with fresh hops. It's not an IPA.

    I appreciate threads like this just so I don't miss out on something that I've been waiting for. Luckily, Total Beverage in Westminster got 20+ cases so it was not an issue for me, but I have definitely missed out on stuff when I don't pay attention. I do like Born Yesterday better than both Cowiche Canyon fresh hop beers (both outstanding). The only Fresh hop I like more than this one is Super Damp which is my favorite beer I've ever had.

    I really enjoyed this beer, easily could smash 3-4 in a sitting.

    It's over at The Ale House in GJ, very tasty brew, definitely recommended.

    Cheers!
