    I am very much looking forward to having a tasting of the 60, 75, 90 and 120 minute IPAs. I know that the 75 minute ships out this week or last. Has anyone seen it or know when it will be hitting shelves?

    If you hustle (or call) Binny's on Grand, they might have a bottle left.

    Oddly enough I have heard that there is a maple edition coming as well.

    The 75 minute is maple edition. "A bottle conditions India Pale Ale with maple syrup."

    I went to Binny's on Grand and they were fresh out. The guy there was very nice though. He said they only got 12 bottles, but apparently they dropped one bottle and the cap came off so they couldn't sell it. He offered my girlfriend and me a sample pour which we gratefully accepted. Shortly after this I went to the Noble Grape and found a bottle there.

    Hard to say from my little sample, but it tasted similar to the 60 and 90 minute with a hint of maple. I could swear it was a little more bitter than the 60 or 90 but again, I could be mistaken. At 12 dollars for a 750ml bottle, I'd say it's worth checking out.

    Pipeworks did it. Everyone called it Lincoln Park Binnys up until Pipeworks started calling it Marcey Street.

    The 2 Binnys I hit today had them for $9.99. I know several other Binny's are getting them in stock tomorrow and Friday.

    The Lincoln Park Binnys had two bottles of 75 Min. left on the shelf on Tuesday when I went to pick up my FwB bottle of EoD. I bought one. Unless they had more in the back, it's gone.

    Agreed but a slight tweak is needed - I think 'Castle le Vav' has a certain... je ne sais quoit element to it...

    and yes, I did have to look up how to spell "je ne sais quoit"
