Chicagoland Splash Drops 2020

Transportation costs? I don't know what those sell for out in NY though.

 

I agree with your sentiment. But ultimately if all the product moves at that high price and it's not sitting around on shelves, there's no incentive to lower the price.

 

Got to imagine, based upon the reviews here, a lot of people who may have bought from them once won't be buying from them again.

 

Whatever. I’m treating myself during lockdown. I’ll pay $4.50/can for local but I’m gonna draw the line at $5.75/can for some highly regarded stuff I can’t buy here? Nope, bring it on.

 

To circle back on my Hoof Hearted post. These were brewed and canned in North Haven CT. Taste pretty good too me. I've never had anything from their OH brewery to compare it. A bit of a dangerous 8% as it almost drinks like a session IPA.

 

Couple outliers I found at B&C today. I bought a can of each.

Wiley Roots Brewing - Colorado: Wiley IPA. They call it "unfiltered" so I think that means a haze-r.

Humble Forager - Minnesota: Gypsy Outpost Samoas Cookie (aka Gypsy Outpost with Coconut, Vanilla Beans, Cocoa Nibs, Cinnamon...both beers are listed here but per the breweries website, they are one and the same). "Imperial Pastry Porter".

Looking forward to cracking both this weekend!

 

I used a $10 off coupon at garfields to try Fluctuation. I was pretty impressed! Very unique - tons of natural juice flavor without being thick or sweet. Flavorful and refreshing.

 

A couple IPA's from Listermann (Cincinnati) were available at Bottles & Cans.

 

Saw them available at Orange and Brew in Downers as well.

 

Wasn’t as into this drop of Mc2. Yeah I’m surprised by the repeated small drops.

Any update on Other Half?

 

Agreed this batch of Mc2 wasn’t nearly as good. Not interested in rolling the dice at $30/4pk.
