Hung out at RedHorn a little bit last night. Really enjoyed 8.5.88, as well as this one...

Glad y'all are enjoying this year's! Three Legged Lab sales really dragged with the mild winter, so inventory of that pushed back Here Comes the Sun, and therefore also Hop Delusion. We're working on ways to start making it available more than one time a year-- and maybe even some variants!

Could I kindly suggest you just skip Here Comes the Sun and go straight to a longer rotation of Hop Delusiojn?

Although the 7/18 HD is starting to fall off a bit, starting to get sweet

Still good, but I figured in cans it would hold on a bit. Definitely pungent though in %

It's been a long week of leaking ac in my living room to minor finder bender in my new truck to whole upstairs ac going out. Finishing it off while watching some game of thrones and these

Agreed. It's always best inside a month. Fortunately, inventory has been moving well, and there's a batch canned last week that should be out there now. If not in the cold box, maybe on a new display stack.

You can suggest whatever you'd like!

The hope is in the future (after this year), Hop Delusion distribution won't be forced to wait on any other seasonals. It's still a super expensive beer to make (~120 IBUs + DH), but it's going to get made more often than it currently is.

I was on Karbachs website last night for the first time in forever and noticed that Barnburner isn't on there. Did you drop it from your rotation? I wasn't really a fan, just noticed it wasn't on there anymore.

We haven't made it for a few years. Zee German Pils replaced the seasonal slot Barn Burner used to occupy. We last sold it just before I started, but I recall hearing it was the lowest-selling seasonal we had at the time.

Also happy to say we're ditching Krunkin Pumpkin this year (and probably for good). I know the brewers hate making it, the sales team hates selling it (after 10/31 have fun getting rid of any excess pumpkin beer inventory), and the market won't miss another pumpkin ale on the shelves.

And wouldn't you rather just have another fresh batch of Hop Delusion to carry through to November, anyway?
ChipFTAC01
How long do you want to ignore this user?

The answer is yes. Especially because I already have krunkin checked off on untappd

This, veterans wine and liquor, and cheers would be my suggestions depending on what part of town you're in.

That looks amazing. How do I get one? Is that only a 12oz ?
Bmac04
How long do you want to ignore this user?

Yes 12oz and delicious. They sell for around $60ish secondary to give you an idea of what they go for. Shouldn't be that hard to trade for.

Hell of a haul from Steve! Thanks!

Can't wait to crush some of the Phantom Bride cans and have this FSW Bretta Rose. Also really excited to try that bomber of Mexican beer (La Luluposa).

""It almost seems like it doesn't matter what you do with an IPA in today's craft beer climate," Gill said. "After two or three months, people are off to a new one, and what do you do? You rename it, reformulate it."

hah.. tell that to Vinnie!
