Zombie Dust

You shouldn't state your opinions as though they are facts. I love me some Two Hearted, but give me Zombie Dust anyday.

It could be in a bottle with a big hairy dick on the label, named "Dick Juice", and I'd still drink the fuck out of it.

 

You're right, I'm just a little embittered because I get at least 20-30 calls every week looking for Zombie Dust, as well as innumerable in-person inquiries. It becomes grating when we've sold out or it hasn't come in yet, but that many of the customers truly have no interest in any other craft beers and will either grab a 6pk of Bud (seriously not kidding) instead, or just leave in a huff, chiming that they still have a case left at home anyway.

So I suppose my beef is more with how people act as a result of Zombie Dust rather than the beer itself, but in my opinion, there are scores of better beers around that are a lot easier to find. That being said, my store typically gets 6-10 cases each week, and I'd be more than happy to arrange a trade if you'd like some!

 

Lizardville in Bedford Ohio (just East of Cleveland) had Dreadnaught and Zombie Dust on tap last week. I live in Rochester NY and was about to drive out for a night with some buddies but both kegs kicked in under 2 hours. The guy running the tap never stopped the flow.

 

Thank you for this. Coffee almost got spit all over my keyboard.

 

I had no idea you could buy Zombie Dust in Chicago. Good to know as I will be there this Spring as well.

 

Obviously a lot of people legitimately prefer Zombie Dust over other brews, it would be ridiculous to imply that people ONLY like it for the label. But I work in a store that sells a lot of ZD, and I can't tell you how many people are utterly uninterested in or even outwardly dislike any other well-received Pale ales or IPAs that I recommend when ZD runs out. It's good, Citra is tasty. In my opinion, however, it's nowhere near worth the hype and tantrums I see people throw when they can't get more than 2 two 6pks of the stuff. My beef is really mainly with the immature and impressionable beer geeks who hoard it from my customers who have never had it, and continue to over-hype it and thus driving along the hoarding

*Also, anyone remember when it was still Cenotaph, minus all the zombie fluff? I don't ever recall those kegs kicking anywhere near as quickly as they did after a gnarly looking skeleton monster was put on the tap handles.

 

Still find it funny that 3 Floyds still call it a Pale Ale. It's an IPA all the way.

 

I had my first a few weeks ago and it was the same experience (I live in NYC). Knowing that its hard for me to get more, is not a fun feeling

 

ZD only really holds up for 60 days at most. Keep it any longer, it levels out like crazy. You hoard it, you may as well drink any other Pale Ale out there. I love that beer and everything they make. Living in Pittsburgh, I have access to crazy good beer, but 3 Floyds is my favorite brewery by far. With that said, why other breweries don't smarten up and retro-engineer that beer is beyond me. After all, beer is not software and can pretty much be cloned legally!!!!

 

His son is in the Royals system. Very highly regarded prospect.

 

Zombie Dust is nice untill youve had a few hundred and you grow tired of the same old citra cat piss taste and typical three floyds fake mouth feel!

 

Yogi you are Awesome!
If your more than generous offer extends to a newbie trader in the deserts of AZ, I would jump at the chance to trade some great offerings from around here and finally get to try ZD!

 

in april you can attend dark lord day.

 

Dick Juice, huh?

Would make for an interesting flagship beer. Patenting that one.

 

What is fake mouth feel? Serious question.

 

You should also check out other local breweries. 3F will announce on their facebook when they get more ZD, and so will Binnys South Loop (@southloopbeer) and Binnys Lincoln Park (@beeradam). I'm a huge fan of Pipeworks and I strongly recommend trying their beers.

 

Three penis wine, anyone?

 

My dad an hour ago just got a case of Dust from their brewpub.
(As well as Pride and Joy, Gumballhead, and Alpha King)

 

Now I cant wait to get home and crack one my ZDs!!
