    I haven’t seen them confirm it, but I assume it will hit distro.

    I’m assuming it’ll hit distro. But that’s just an assumption. Assuming I’m right, my assumption will be true.

    They told me it would hit distro.

    They are the voices in my head, not anyone from Pipeworks.

    They also told me that we never actually landed on the moon.

    Emerald Grouper is great! I'm an old bastard and I love a hazy ipa but I miss beers like this. I'm guessing they are out there in the wild but when they are done this well.... Cheers!

    Agree. I remember the days hoping to score a bomber of the fish beers. Now pretty easy to get. Pricey, yeah, but an incredible beer.

    Anyone else listen to the Gerrit call on NPR Chicago today just before 1PM? Josh Noel was also on the call.

    Gerrit mentioned that because of the way in which they've been operating (no brewpub/taproom basically) that they haven't experienced some of the financial hardships that some other breweries are experiencing. He also noted that one of the issues now is that because everyone is basically canning as much beer as possible in order to satisfy the to-go demand, there is a big shortage of aluminum cans developing. He mentioned having to take the call with his can supplier right after the interview. The call was very brief, maybe 5 minutes, but that the comments on aluminum cans were note worthy. Wonder how others are going to deal with that issue.

    Glad to hear PWs is doing well during the pandemic! I feel like their stuff has been selling quick.

    Well, if ever there was an excuse the public would understand to switch to plastic bottles...

    Apparently there is also a nationwide shortage of 64oz glass growlers.

    Better yet, bring back the OG NvU recipe in bombers!! I love the dialed down can recipe, but loved the og and want it back even if just for a limited run.

    Honestly, I would prefer the desert stout type beers in bombers. I thing those beer are more meant to share than IPAs.

    Bombers are especially ideal for Abductions (bring them back).

    I was really hoping we’d see Abduction cans by this point, but I’ll take bombers if that’s our only option.

    I am curious, does anyone even remember when the last time Pipeworks released a beer in a bomber? It feels like it been quite a while ...

    Not sure where you are located, but Moreno's Liquors in Little Village has an expansive collection of PW bombers, including 9 Abduction variants.
