    If he is, he's checking the same beer in 20x a night and the check-ins look like this:

    "6/20 - (cont'd) and speaking of body, this one ha..."
    "7/20 - (cont'd) ...s exactly what you'd expect from a"

    I've thought about it, but no; I'm not. BeerAdvocate is home for me.

    FYI I went to the Beer Cellar at 12:40 (they open at noon) they had less then two cases of Symbols of math, over 6 cases of Mega Bite and in the forty min of being open sold out of the brown ale release.

    ...so wait, Hop Butcher can sell an Imp. Brown ale easier than a non-hazy IPA?

    In my book, a 9% Brown Ale is a stout....

    Looks like Wintry Mix was a tiny batch. Binny’s LP sold through immediately.

    Symbols of Math is intense. Maybe it’s the mosaic ninja talking, but I wish there was a stronger malt backbone. It is good, but a bit off-balanced, and has an astringent note in the song.

    Yeah, Printers Row posted a picture of their entire HB delivery. It was like 5 cases of Mega Bite, 2 cases of Symbols, and 1 case of Wintry Mix. They posted the Wintry Mix was gone in like 15 minutes after they initially posted it was available.

    I have fomo and then think about how many seasons those other 3 cans of a brown ale would sit in my fridge after the initial tick

    Since I want to eat bacon every morning, this is actually true for me as well.

    Mega bite is very good - not green at all. Lots of fruit on initial taste. Grabbed mine today - FYI beer cellar still has about two stacks.

    Mega bite is like drinking lemonade (in a good way, obviously)

    Vic Secret hops just can't get into. Thinking a hop combo might work, (esp Simcoe in Symbols) but no.
