    Pre ordered 6 half barrels this year for the restaurant. Only got one sixtel last year and it went in 7 hours. Beer is freaking phenomenal

    I don't mind the name, but I did like Alchemy Hour better.

    One of the most underrated IPAs in my opinion. Even more underrated is GL's spring/summer release of Lake Eire Monster.

    Hard to say they are underrated when Chillwave is a 95 and Erie Monster is a 90. However, it does seem to me as well that neither one gets much hype/love.

    I remember it being all over WBAYDN when it hit the stores. It is a great beer and I think it gets plenty of love here.

    This is the first year I won't be drinking it at the brewery during the first week. Hoping Michigan sees plenty of distribution. I'm also more than okay at the lack of hype on this one (i.e. easier to procure).

    Exactly this. I literally never see them get talked about except upon their initial releases every year. They are just quiet champions. If anyone is looking FT I can pick a bunch up once they are released

    Son of a!!! I am going to Cleveland this weekend. I am going to be there too early. I knew the timing would be pretty close. I am am both disappointed and super excited. Chillwave is my favorite DIPA!

    You should be able to find some Hop JuJu on shelves this weekend, which might help your case..

    My favorite Great Lakes beer. Not quite as good as Hop Juju but more economical. I will definitely be picking up a bunch this year.
