They line up for the vanilla version of it, but I think IPA/DIPAs are there bread and butter.

That's awesome. The only place that gets it in any decent quantity in NWI that I know of is a 45 minute drive for me. Huge bonus when it actually shows up in Valpo -- and never lasts longer than a day or two tops.
Grabbed one of these from The Open Bottle. They get it every few months I think. Looking forward to opening it.

I'd be surprised if you are disappointed. The coffee, vanilla, chocolate, and chiles are all there, but nothing "takes over." Very well balanced IMO. And the crazy thing is that I actually think that a bunch of Prairie saisons and sours are even better. Not to mention Okie, which might be my ATF brown ale. Just a phenomenal brewery IMO.

Just shared a crowler of Civil Societys Pulp with a couple buddies...it blew them away, both said it's the best hoppy FL beer they've ever had. 2 more converted.
Can't wait for you to try this one next week, Hawks.
Also just had 2 fresh cans of Tropicalia and a not so fresh bottle of Scream IIPA

Crap. I passed on these because they were pretty steep here. I won't be such a cheapskate next time...

PAA beers certainly aren't cheap, but they're really good. According to my wife, I drink way too much of their beer LOL.steelerfan1 said:

Double Crooked Tree is really good this year. As always, drinks more like a hop-bomb barley wine vs a typical IIPA, but unique and delicious.

IMO, it's fine for a big stout but nothing better than than the ones you can find on the shelf (Speedway, etc.).

Hi coeur, I know this is very unchristian of me but when my wife tells this to me I will usually mention her purse and shoe closet which in turn shuts things down pretty quickly

Thanks task. May not wait in a line all day then. Spoke to my beer guy and he said he will have it shortly after the release anyway and hold some aside.

Oh, I know. But I have to admit that she has a point when it's so easy to blow way past the $100 mark in beer in a single weekend. Love me some sours and BA beers, but the price tags can get pretty brutal.Hi coeur, I know this is very unchristian of me but when my wife tells this to me I will usually mention her purse and shoe closet which in turn shuts things down pretty quickly

That said, the coffee Vlad Second Order of the Dragon BBA Stout from Hailstorm was damn good.

I did manage to resist $40 FFF BA Behemoth last week, so I have that going for me LOL.

Also figure that between Chicago and MI I'm neck-deep in great beer without having to trade for more. Tons of great local stuff that I just haven't gotten to yet.

Just when I think I've had every Michigan or Chicago beer, there's something new. I'm really loving the Griffin Claw BA stuff right now. I'm not sure if they are distributing outside of Michigan, but their BA stuff is first class. Now, I'm looking for a local brewery to really step up with top level juicy IPAs. Michigan has really good IPAs, but they aren't often the citrus, juice, tropic bombs that I get from Florida, Cali and East Coast beers.Coeur de Lion said:My brother lives in Boston and I gorge twice a year when I visit and then when our families vacation together and he mules it to the beach.Also figure that between Chicago and MI I'm neck-deep in great beer without having to trade for more.

Oh man...Depends on where in NE you're going, as breweries like Tree House and Trillium only sell beer at the breweries (no distro). New England Brewing Co has a good shelf IPA called Sea Hag, then there's Lawson's Sip of Sunshine, Alchemist Heady Topper (and Focal Banger in some bars, but none to go)...Second Fiddle, Other Half, Lost Nation...just a bunch of great breweries for hoppy stuff.If I had to.pick 2 places to go and was anywhere near Boston, I'd go to Trillium and Tree House. Neither makes a bad hoppy beer.Hey wing, I'm doing a new england trip in may. what should I be looking for?Wingnut said:If I lived in New England I'd never trade again, I'd be all set.
