    Super painless pick-up yesterday...they opened up their alley entrance & I was done in about 2 minutes.

    Score another one for "on-line releases > physical line releases" in my book.

    And importantly, this batch of Cuppa Neo is outstanding. The strawberry and chocolate are both delightfully prevalent. Sorta comes in waves.

    Cuppa Neapolitan is very delicious and well balanced. So silky smooth and no ingredient overpowering the other. Gets better as it warms up.

    I thought the same. Lots of chocolate and strawberry. They nailed the strawberry too.

    Cuppa S'mores is available as a crowler from Beer on Central in Evanston.

    This is one of those "holy shit, it smells & tastes almost exactly like (insert non-beer item that the beer is named after)" beers...they absolutely nailed the S'more essence here.

    I missed this when it came out last year, so I was glad to try it. Definitely not an everyday sipper but a nice pastry treat, for sure.

    ...I should mention this was a 16oz crowler!

    Very happy they offered this option. You can also get 19.2oz crowlers.

    I think the WHO and CDC frown on friends in 2020.

    luckily they are putting it in a no name bourbon barrel that will decrease demand.

    I think the posts about them filling it are for next year's versions. This year’s release should have been in barrels for quite some time now. But, demand will still be huge regardless.

    That was my first thought. If they were planning to put Cuppa in Pappy barrels for just a couple months, I'm not sure that would have the desired barrel-aging effect. But what do I know?
