    If you want to journey through the Holland Tunnel (or on the PATH), there were many cases at Super Buy Rite in Jersey City last weekend. The store is just outside the tunnel across from Home Depot.

    Check the Troegs website - the last time I checked, it indicated a mid February release/delivery which means you'll see it in stores closer to the end of the month.

    oskar blues g'knight is the closest I've come to a suitable nugget nectar substitute



    edit: for technicality, Troegs hopback is probably the answer if referring only to the hop flavor profile. NN is basically a supped up version of it.

    Lagunitas Imperial Red was bombastically hoppy also. :slight_smile:

    Very good. Holds its own with my memories of version 6-7 years past. Great winter by the fire dry your mouth to your toes luscious nuggets of bitter complexity. Balance and depth of color. Nugget dOrs it again for me- great complex beer, helps to ward off the winter blues. Thanks Troegs- Cheers.
