    Line is moving good and the GDDC is nice and cold. Extra excited to pick up another bottle of Magick!

    Well that's a bummer. Was hoping to be able to grab a couple 4-packs tomorrow.

    If not though, I'll get it when it hits distro.

    I'm here. Should I just buy the pallet? It's incredible!

    Hey, I was there about the same time. And yeah, GDDC is legit.

    Damn man. Wish I saw your post earlier. @kdawgmoney and I still there since opening and drinking some GDDC. Running out within 15-30min (with regards to cans).

    I was retail only. Had my four-year-old in tow. He did ask me why I only got one 4-pack...

    Man that GDDC on tap was fantastic last night but I gotta say, I had that Heavy Gem Humanimal Stasis... that was one of the smoothest double IPAs I have ever had. Shit, they may have been better than GDDC and that says a lot.

    It was pretty stellar across the board last night. The only thing we didn't like was the evening kolsch, but Humanimal was awesome and Iron Brass might be one of the best Chicago beers I've ever had. Also surprised by how much I liked Tuna. Move over all-day, I've got a new summer go-to.

    Gddc sold out at the taproom around 4:30. You could sample purple and virga, both were great

    Enjoying this release of GDDC. I'm overjoyed how this and all their IPAs will be in cans going forward. BHA next month and maybe something in between then? Would love to see Guest Lager make a return appearance. And more GDDC is hitting distro next week. Hope folks who missed out at the taproom are able to pick some up next week. Tasting very good imo. And as the kids are wont to note, translucent AF. Cheers.

    Agreed. I can not wait for BHA. Last years was so amazing, I went three times to get growler fills. :slight_smile:

    Had the Galactic at Ballpark Brewfest in Schaumberg yesterday - Amazing! What a delicious beer. Haven't drank too much HA, but gotta start changing that!

    Humanimal Stasis is such an incredible beer. Couldn't agree more.
