    Anyone know when the next batch of Galaxy Bowl is getting distributed?

    If you're talking in Chicago-proper, I think your best bets will probably still be Corridor and Forbidden Root (since they seem to be both consistent and consistently pushing out hazy stuff). Other than that, keep your eye on this thread, since we'll obviously be posting if Hailstorm, Hop Butcher or any of the other regulars have a new canned offering coming out.
    I think they're aiming for next week, but I believe it's also dependent on how much they sell through at the Open Bottle. I don't think it's a very big canned batch, because a lot is going to this Ultra Fresh event (one of the main reasons I'm salty I can't go).

    Drink it as fresh as possible as it may be a completely different beer in a week.

    For anybody who tried Takes 2 To Mango around the release and were hoping for more mango, I'd say go try it now!

    The hops have calmed down a bit, and I'm getting much more of a mango flavor on the end of it now. It's not overpowering at all, and it has more of a well-balanced character.

    They also just tapped a new version of Mosaic Gummy this morning. It's absolutely a much better offering than the first one, which I didn't care much for!

    Definitely - the cooler is stocked. That's one of the best IPA's I've had in awhile

    Doubtful. I had 2 pours yesterday around 6:30 but the bartender was warned by the brewer that they were at the bottom of the keg.

    I was there yesterday evening as well, it was removed from both the growler board and tap board and bartenders were saying that's it.

    It was awesome at PPD. One of my top five (maybe top three) beers there.

    It's still right now and MIGHT make it through the night. Will update tomorrow.

    FYI - A small amount has been reserved for Beer Under Glass and at the NEIPA Tap Takeover.

    This was a ridiculously good beer. Keep up the good work.

    The sick part of me wonders what would happen if you took that and put some roastiness in there....like a tropical fruit black ipa....

    Corridor tweeted out their CCBW schedule a few hours ago, and it says the Mikerphone event is on Wed 5/24.

    Really hoping it's still on 5/24 as I already made plans accordingly...

    Holy shit, Stay Lit. (There's your name for the imperial version btw)

    Glad I stopped by. It's easiy the best beer of the style in Chicago hands down.

    It's the first one to actually taste fruity and not lose anything.

    It's amazing.

    I liked the previous FR NEIPAs, but I thought they were all solid if not spectacular offerings that I would happily drink.

    This is next level.

    Man, why couldn't Dave Matthews have been playing in Chicago during beer week??! At least then sitting through the concert would be worth it lol
    So much good stuff happening in the craft beer world out there. *Sigh*

    Reign In Punch being released tomorrow evening after Salute Your Simcoe has kicked. We will also be pouring it at BUG. Without a doubt we will have it on for the 5/24 "official" release, as well as, (2) TBD Mikerphone drafts and our next DDH IPA. I assure you that Reign In Punch will be on draft for the 5/24 event. Even if we have to pull 1/2bbls from our brite tank.
