    Argh, I didn’t see you started the thread for Half-Acre (2019) and I thought I even checked the forum thoroughly. I’ll reach out to a moderator to erase the one I started.

    Went to Lincoln taproom this evening with fiancé, ordered a pint of Dungeons, took one sip, left taproom, and went straight to shop and picked up two 4-packs before returning to finish pint. I swear this beer gets better (and yet less appreciated) with each batch.

    Grabbed a 4 pack of Dungeons last night, drank my first can. Now I'm considering returning for another 4 pack. Phenomenal beer.

    HA are doing themed brewery tours at their Balmoral facility this year. Seems like a cool idea to me. First up is an in depth look at their canning line.

    I’ll need to keep my eyes open for Dungeons here. Sounds tasty. Haven’t bought any Half Acre since we recently started getting them, but I’d really like to try this if gets here.

    Anyone know of this is only a local market offering?

    I live a few hours south of Chicago and we saw it last time. I liked it so much I flew with a few cans to Denver to have with my brother when out in CO last summer. When he took me to the craft beer shop by his house they had 4 packs in the cooler. It's an excellent beer and definitely worth a 4 pack. I bought one last time, opened one that night, and promptly went and bought a second 4 pack after work the next day.

    I know the last batch of dungeons made it to Portland, so you can be hopeful. Send them a note on social media, they’re typically very responsive.

    Good start.

    Now, give me Navaja year-round again (and/or in 12-packs).

    Buy a case immediately. Store it cold. It should last ya 3/4 months just fine.

    Half Acre is listening to the market. The market wants new skus every week. Not a 6 month shelfy

    I think there’s a part of the market that definitely wants new SKUs every week.

    There’s also a part of the market that enjoys top quality easily available beers & isn’t necessarily in the ticking phase of the hobby that the sku chasers are. They also tend to be the more loyal customers to a brand or brewery. I hope Half Acre & other breweries don’t forget about us trying to please the trend chasers
