    I saw this. It's a great beer when fresh. Curious to see how long it takes to find store shelves.

    I believe it will be right around Jan 30th or so. Every time I try this beer it tastes better than the last.

    Wonder what the price will be, hopefully a little less than the 6 packs.

    C'mon now. I hate all of this negativity on BA. Sure Road 2 Ruin / Two Roads isn't the best, and there are better beers around, but there are a LOT of worse beers/breweries out there. Two Roads isn't always my first choice when deciding what to drink on tap (usually drinking nebco). If you haven't had Road 2 Ruin in a while try a sample the next time you see it on tap. Tastes so much better than it used to. Of course you're entitled to your opinion, and I'm not trying to start an argument or anything.

    I should add that on the other hand, Two Roads can be overpriced a bit. $20/$25 for Igor's Dream feels like a lot and I think $15/$20 would be better. I mean not everyone is as cheap as nebco, which is part of the reason they are so awesome. I don't drink a ton of Two Roads or anything either, but I was at a bar the other day and the only IPA on tap was Road 2 Ruin and I definitely enjoyed it.

    I agree totally with Beericjb, I believe Road to Ruin has gotten much better.

    Haven't had R2R since I bought a 1/6th keg of it when it first came out. I liked it then, but moved on to other things I hadn't had before. I'll give it another try next time I pick up beer.

    Saw a sixer of this on sale for $8.88. Sounds like a steal to me. When it comes to IPA's Im not extremely hard to please.

    I shouldn't have been so harsh. There are definitely worse beers. This one, like most Two Roads beers, just doesn't do much for me. I've tried it a few times on tap over the last couple years and I wasn't too big on it. Then I kept hearing how it had improved so I tried it again when I ended up at the brewery in December and didn't see much difference.

    Everyone has different taste and if people like this beer, that's fine. I'm just not that big of a fan.

    I'm liking their Workman's Comp Saison. Not often you can get saisons in 6 packs.

    Agree on Road 2 Ruin, it is definitely a different beer than it was a while back. I was always kind of indifferent about it before but the last two times I had it at the brewery it was really good. I am thinking they tweaked the recipe.

    They tweaked that and Honeyspot a while back,
    I think they added Centennial into the mix for R2R and Citra into Honeyspot. Both improved after that.

    Had it on draft earlier today, and in bottles tonight. It is far better than it was. I like.

    I heard all the talk about Road to Ruin being improved, so I got a pint at a bar. Unfortunately, it seemed worse than I remembered. Personally, I think Two Roads and Foolproof take up way too much shelf space in Southern NE.

    I had it on tap last night at SoundTigers game and it was pretty good.

    I had it on draft with dinner tonight. Was hoping to like it based on some of the comments in this thread but I didn't. Glad I gave it another try but I would not order it again.

    I was actually suprised when i tried this last week. I used to drink alot of two roads maybe 1+, 2 years ago. Road 2 ruin has definitely improved from what it used to be. I 100% agree that they must have tweaked the recipe, even though they said they were not changing it with the switch to cans. Like i said it must have been at least a year ago since i last bought a road 2 ruin but it is pretty solid now.
