    Have not had it, always looking forward to a new Southern Star Pro Am though. This one is a Double IPA correct?

    Not sure about Dallas but this one is giving any other Texas DIPA a big run for their money.

    According to the Facebook page today:

    "This year's Pro-Am (a double IPA or DIPA) is being released in cans into the market today. Rumor has it that some stores have already sold out. This is the first time Pro-Am has been released in cans, and supply is VERY limited (initally 150 Bbls were made, I just secured hops to moake another 50 Bbls). Good luck and happy hunting."

    thanks for telling us where... any chance of this getting to DFW?
    so, 150 barrels = 2066 2/3 cases if 100% canned... with no loss... so, maybe 2000 cases made?

    Any idea how that size compares to their other seasonal can releases? In Austin I've seen Walloon and La Mort Vivant just about anywhere their beers are sold.

    Well, TX isn't exactly renowned for its DIPA's :slight_frown:
