    Tried Peach Punch today - it's on at NW Growlers in Sherwood as well - not bad, not great. Block 15's Peach Pit Wit on the other hand is awesome.

    Grabbed a four pack of IHS ($16 ouch) and a small pour. Good as ever.

    Looked like a good amount. Limit two as opposed to four like last time.

    Excellent. Am looking forward to trying it, and was hopeful we might see it here, once I saw the email about it and the canary release.

    If you see A Nugg Hugg on tap, make a point to grab a pint/growler - one of their better IPAs of late.

    got 2 four packs of the IHS and two bottles of the interfusion. I really liked them.

    I'll answer my own question. IHS at Belmont Station behind the counter, one 4 pack per person.

    NWIPA posted that they have it in cans and on tap I believe. Have to think it's seeing city wide distribution now.

    It's long gone at NWIPA as well (both cans and on draft). Did get to have a couple glasses of the draft version last night before the keg blew, and can now understand the excitement over this beer (the intergalactic hop shop).

    It's really, really good!

    I thought the Intergalactic Hop Shop was solid but not as tasty as some of their other recent hoppy offerings like 'A Hug Nug' and 'Red, White, and Boom'.

    I liked it a lot but honestly some of the beers from Claim 52 of similar style have been just as good if not better.

    Different strokes and all that, but I would be curious to hear which Claim 52 IPA/DIPA's you thought were comparable. So far, I've been pretty underwhelmed by the IPA's I've had from Claim 52, though God knows I would love to come across something from them that's similar to the IHS.

    In terms of stuff from Block 15, I haven't had a chance to try A Hug Nug yet, but at least for me, IHS was vastly superior to Red, White and Boom (which is an excellent reason for them to keep on making a variety of different IPA's and DIPA's).

    All Block 15 hoppy brews are great, some just better than others. Just different strokes for different folks. :slight_smile:
