    Tome is great! I drink alot of $16+ four pacs of Haze form Phase Three, Hop Butcher, Saint Errant, etc and Tome packs a lot of flavor in a relatively low ABV for only $10 a four pac! I predict it will be one of the core beers of the summer. Its an awesome value

    Quick cheers from Colorado, since I can't have any Tome anytime soon.... a little Big Hugs to ya.
    Was hoping to get out to Chicago soon, but... well, might be more like May if we're lucky.

    Had a can of Navaja last night and honestly was not very impressed by it. I don't remember old Navaja enough to compare in detail but I used to love this beer. Not sure what happened.

    1- Glad I stopped yesterday and loaded up on HA and Keeping Together beer
    2- Tome was a bust in my household. Wife is a huge Gone Away and Vallejo fan and she gave this one an "Eh".
    3-That's a tough decision to close, but given everything else that is (schools) it makes sense. Let's hope this thing gets over quickly. The more I read about how this could be driven by a lot of asymptomatic people the more I think it's a colossal waste of time. That being said I'm not the CDC and I'm more than happy to spend more time with nothing to do at home as what could be a more opportune time to have a beer? Or is that your long play Half Acre?

    Same in my household. Granted, my household is just me, but it was still a bust. I found it pretty bland.

    A bit disappointing for a year-round offering.

    daisy cutter > Tome

    At this weight, my current fave for the style is the Sky Kraken from Fremont. I look forward to doing a side-by-side... someday.

    Tome = Hazy Daisy IMO. And I'm personally more into clear APA's and IPA's. Still think its very solid. I would probably prefer fresh Tuna over it. Issue was by me Tuna was just about the only HA brew that was never fresh, must have been moving slow. The four packs they have on the shelf for $8.99 - $9.99 remain the best for that price. I sorely miss Gone Away, it was one of my favorites. I like Bodem though too. Would love to see them do a quarterly rotating IPA with Bodem spring, Vallejo Summer, BHA Fall, & Gone Away winter. Gone Away cant just go away has to at least become a special release.

    Yes I think I like Tuna better than Tome.
