    If you bring in a howler like FR sells that uses normal sized growler caps, I don't see why that would be an issue. Previous issues relate to people bringing in smaller mouthed howlers that cooperate in the counter pressure machine....

    Currently sipping on my 3rd pour of Power Trip. Best IPA I've had in a long time. I really hope they can this ASAP

    It would be an insanely expensive beer to can. People already bitch about prices of some NEIPAs. The amount of hops in this thing would justify $22/4-pack.

    Personally, I don't bitch about these prices...I'll pay a premium for premium beer.

    Oh me too. I wasn't referencing you in particular, just quoted your post.

    I'm also not sure what FR's hop situation is like - they used so many in this beer that who knows if they have enough to brew this in larger quantities.

    Yay! Really surprised that it lasted this long, but I was happy to get this and a howler of Power Trip. Definitely remembered my wallet this time :slight_smile:

    Power Trip tasting great. Super juicy. Toro is unbelievable for 9.2%! No alcohol burn, a little on the sweet side. Berliner was good, I was expecting it to be hazy for some reason though.

    Power Trip is awesome! I seriously think FR might be my second favorite Chicago brewery. They are just killing it on all levels.
