    Looks like some changes were made to the beer availability page on HA's website.

    Navaja is now only available from Jan-June and Deep Space cans seem to be on the horizon with a listed availability of July-Dec. I for one will be very sad to say goodbye to Navaja. Also, tuna is listed as year round availability.

    Picked up a 1/6 barrel of Navaja at binnys saturday for the kegerator. Believe it or not drinking about 10 pints of this, while very enjoyable at the time, will make for a miserable day after. Sad it isn't year round now, but deep space is a realll solid substitute during the summer.

    Shit, summer was the time that I enjoyed Navaja the most! I like Deep Space fine, but barring a change in the recipe, I won't be purchasing that nearly as much as I would Navaja.

    With that being said, IF Half Acre continues cranking out canned one-offs every few weeks, I won't complain. While I still prefer Navaja to the majority of those so far, I love trying their new stuff (and Topanga was a perfectly acceptable Navaja stand-in).

    Besides, if they're serious about canning, I'll probably be drinking GDDC and BHA cans for a lot of the summer, anyway. I'll complain about Navaja when my stock runs out. :grinning:

    Does anyone really not believe that drinking 10 pints of this would make for a rough next day??!!! That's a lot of Navaja.

    Honestly it was the pure excitement of having this on draft at home that made me do it...and while the hangover was basically crippling, I don't necessarily regret my actions. They go down fast when you are playing cards I guess lol

    Deep Space screams winter seasonal release to me while Navaja is way more summer.

    For me, one Navaja makes for an early bed time, two would make for a rough morning. 10 would kill me.

    Well, I had 2 Spotted Puffers and 2 cans of Navaja, and I can say, without a doubt that . . .






    the next day was dreadful. It didn't help that it was my 9 yo's birthday, and all he wanted to do is play Star Wars Battlefront on the PS4 with his old man. The motion sickness didn't help matters.

    I had a four pack during one of the NFL playoff games and was very glad it was Martin Luther King Day the next day or I would not have made it to work...
