    There I said it.

    This coming from one of AK's biggest and most loyal fans. But Zombie Dust - can't get enough and when fresh - wow.

    I can generally find AK, might need to visit a few stores, but ZD takes much more effort and often requires a trip to Munster.

    Am I in the minority here?

    I love both. I would be upset if alpha king became as scarce as zombie dust is now. I would love to see zombie dust more available but I'm not sure if the citra hop supply will allow that at the moment.

    This is what I came here to say. It's a good beer, I just like Alpha King and obviously ZD so much more.

    Zombie Dust is the only FFF beer that has really impressed me, so I'd be all for increased production. But I bet that the availability of Citra hops is more a limiting factor than anything else.

    I keep thinking BeRanger's avatar is Tatanka.

    As others have mentioned, access to Citra hops seem to be the limiting factor to producing more Zombie Dust. (It's a proprietary variety.) The good news is that in the State of the Brewery Address, it was stated that more Citra hops will be available in 2012. So more Zombie Dust.

    I'm predicting they still won't be able to keep up with demand.

    Can we keep it in kegs? I like a good P&J from the tap every once in a while. Was always a good standby whenever I couldn't decide...
