    Nada.

    I checked at 8:59 out of habit. Placed in line. Lincoln was sold out by the time I got in. Was checked out for Balmoral pick up by 9:03.

    Nope. But I got news for them. I'm coming either before or after my REV pickup... that's my window. :grimacing:

    Selecting a pickup day and time was much smoother than the actual sale

    Think that should be the Maman of the Great Lakes based on BA regions.

    Cracked a can tonight, really enjoyed it. Lots of barrel, tobacco & bittersweet chocolate. Good mouthfeel without being overly thick/sweet. (Note: Haven't tried the new Maman yet so definitely not actually making the comparison)

    Any additional info on Hallow? Looks to be a new year-round DIPA added to the lineup. Dropping early Feb

    Wow just opened up a can of Big Hugs from 2020 and its almost a brown ale.

    I guess this will be my last version of this one. Disappointed is an understatement.

    Spoke to someone about it last week. I’m pumped up. It appears HA has locked into a new Nelson hop contract big enough to feature Nelson in this new year round offering. Other hops are standard hazy hops. Citra, Simcoe cryo, mosaic cryo. 8%. No clue what price point is going to be.

    I would guess that means we also get to see a Vallejo run from time to time.

    So Hallow is pretty great. I can get behind that being a regular offering. Especially at $12.99/4 pack.
