    So my local craft store just got two two Hanabi drops…a Pilsner and a lager IIRC… these are not my style of drink, but he says they are a big deal. Any interest out there for these? They’re like $28/bottle. If you know me, I drink mostly stouts and barleywines, so if you’re interested, let me know what stout or barleywine you have. Maybe we can work out a trade. Cheers.

    I had to do a search, because I didn’t know what this was. So, Hanabi is the brewery from CA, and your store is charging 28 bucks for a (pint???) lager? Wtf

    This isn’t new at all.
    The first time I’ve heard of it being distributed though.

    I tried one out of interest at $15 a bottle, and think it's very tough to justify. It tastes decent to me, but much better lagers out there at a fraction of the price.
