    Just had my first Instant Credibility and thought it was outstanding. Pretty perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness in my opinion. I really liked Turbulence but I think this is better.

    I got a can of Instant Credibility on a whim yesterday at Three's Brewing - now you guys got me all excited about it.

    If it's anywhere as good as the previous batch, you're in for a treat. Does anyone know if these are making their way to Whole Foods like the last few Greenpoint cans have?

    Has anyone tried Denali yet? I only see one rating and am wondering if I should get both beers (if I see them) or just get the Instant Credibility due to the price.

    I was in Whole Foods and randomly picked up Interstellar based on the can. I just thought it looked cool, but was pleasantly surprised by how well it drank if you're into the hazy stuff. Very citrusy with a bit of a bite.

    Their beers are still so under the radar. Its great not to have to run around for them.

    If I drank this blind, I might be convinced it was a Grimm beer just without the need to monitor beermenus or constantly check the Grimm thread everytime there's a new release.

    I had 2 cans of Interstellar last night and I have to concur, very, very good. Great color, even better taste. I'm not usually the biggest fan of galaxy hops but wow. The mosaic shines in the finish giving it a nice berry hit too. Well done.

    So I have a question about this place. It seems like they can beers that aren't on the tap list? Is that correct? And how easily available are cans at Greenpoint? Their website seems a bit void of such information or I'm looking in the wrong place.

    Most of their recent canned offerings have been on the tap list in the past. Not sure about can availability there though.

    You are right. Not much info about the cans after they are released. They generally release cans and have them there for a few days or week and then they hit distro all around. Not sure if the still keep some on hand. Pretty easy to get when it's released at Greenpoint. Very cool place to with lots of other styles on tap.

    Dang, this Interstellar is tasting niiiice. Picked up a 4-Pack when grabbing some Grimm Magnetic Compass at WF today. Just had them back to back and much preferred the Interstellar.

    Need to save money, so I'll have to limit my beer purchasing, but I'll keep these guys on my radar! I've seen a bunch of their stuff but haven't tried any yet.

    I have too much beer as it is, but both of these sound dope. Killer can art as usual too.

    Jeez, from reading the earlier posts I'm hoping that they show up at WF next week.

    I have a case of this coming to the shop. Looking forward to actually drinking one myself. I didn't get a chance to drink Magnetic Tape or Suburb-Mosaic.

    I know people keep saying WF... but which one is usually the better one to go to? Is it the one on 3rd?
