    Personally I thought it was really good. It's got lots of hop punch but is still light and really drinkable. I don't know if I rank it over Tropical Slam, but it's definitely worth seeking out. I'm sort of regretting not buying more.

    That was also released last weekend along with the sours.

    I grabbed a 4 pack last weekend. I had one the other night and really liked it. It is really dank for sure.

    Its good, I still think that sticky hands is the better beer. I can see why people really like the animal cookies.

    I had had too much to drink on Saturday judging the homebrew comp with SH on tap for judges then going to B15 afterwards. I couldn't finish my pint of Animal Cookies and don't remember anything about it. Had I not purchased the cans I would have no clue about that beer. I want to do a side-by-side with them once I get some more SH.

    Justin. Are cans available any place in town, or do you have to go to B15 to obtain them?

    AFAIK you have to get them at B15. I was there after the judging Saturday and grabbed a 4 pack before leaving.

    Quick note: Animal Cookies is not a Sticky Hands variation. We will be releasing a hop forward can each month with Sticky Hands Variations occurring a few times a year. These variations will be in the usual SH can package with a special Sticker.

    Our next hop forward can, Red White & Boom, will launch July 2nd.

    Drinking Animal Cookies right now. On tap at Cedar Hills New Seasons. There are some similarities to SH, but it's def a different beer, whereas you knew Tropical Slam was SH. I like it, but prefer SH and its variations. Something in the finish on this one that doesn't do it for me as much. Still top notch though.

    More to the point, picked up a bottle with your name on it today. Now I just have to figure out how to get to you.

    BTW. There was a Big Sky event when I stopped by at 16 tons, so it turns out your bottle comes with a complimentary moose drool pint glass. :slight_smile:

    Ha ha... I love visiting Bend, but this is moving weekend. Plus, I'm hoping to visit wolves & people this coming weekend.

    Sigh... Really hard to believe that this is the end of my life in Eugene.

    Can't believe it seems as if you're not thrilled about this! At least you aren't headed back east!

    Got a fresh can of Animal Cookies in my IPA glass right now. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Sticky icky Hands, but damn if this beer aint amazing. Dank, resin, pine, pith, and yet quite fruity, citrus, hint of passionfruit, nice ester proflie, and a light rich silky mouthfeel with a medium bitterness to balance. I am a full on hophead, and there are somethings about the PNW beer culture I love, but bitter bombs are not one of them. This beer is way too drinkable. @Block15Brewing / Nick ya'll need to keep this thing coming boy howdy!

    :-) Shrug. I'm pretty thrilled about moving to Portland, but there's just so much going on right now, that it's a bit overwhelming. I'm still in the process of selling my house in Eugene, plus there's a new commute to figure out, and a new office to get acclimated to. Plus, the fiancé and I are still trying to get everything planned for an October wedding.

    This is my first day at work in PDX, and it still hasn't quite dawned on me that I'm actually living here now.
