    Whats with these guys from RPAB? Crom is the best ipa ive had from LI and now its retired and havent seen it in forever...it was an acclaimed beer of theirs why would they stop making their flagship IPA?

    I couldn't agree more... This beer needs to be brewed again, it was amazing the first time. I believe that this recipe isn't RPAB but rather it was brewed on there equipment and behind their "label" last time. @Johnnyhitch might be able to tell us if we will see this beer brewed again?

    I asked on their FB page a few months ago and they said it was coming back. Haven't seen anything since then. Maybe with the farmers market starting back up we will get another shot?

    The work that @Johnnyhitch had to put into getting a starter culture ready, and how poorly the beer was treated after the first batch I wouldn't blame him for not wanting to help RPAB recreate it...

    @Johnnyhitch if you don't mind me asking, how big was the batch and how big was the pitch?
