    I'll keep an eye on it... Ever since it won the gold at the world beer cup it has been flying off the shelves. My beer shop here got more early this week but they had a one 4-pack limit as they had limited amounts and I didn't even go to pick any up. It will probably be easier to get a fresh growler fill of it so that might be the best option if the brewery can't keep up with demand.

    Glad everything made it. Sucks that the growler wasn't sealed properly.

    Did the glass make it?

    Yea the glass made it as well, pretty cool looking! I had already had a beer out of the snifter so I just used that. I didn't notice much loss of carbonation out of the growler but the bubble wrap had some beer that had leaked out and I tipped it upside down and there was a leak. What is the name of the beer in the growler?

    It's called Make Believer Session IPA. I thought it was a decent IPA. Not a hop bomb or anything. I'll be sure to get you a bottle of their DIPA when they release it this summer. It's great.

    I imagine it tasted like water drinking it after Zombie Dust :lol:

    Yea not really a fair comparison haha... I'll be drinking it on its own tonight after work and it will actually be cold too. I panicked last night when I saw the leak so I drank a warm glass to make sure it was still carbonated. If it was on the edge I guess I would've had to drink the whole growler and taken a sick day :)

    I'm in Texas right now for a long weekend with the wifey and I stopped through Oklahoma on my way...Oklahoma=a serious haul of prairie. I snagged 4 bible belts, 4 bomb, and 4 prairie noir. I'll be adding to that on the way home.

    Where at in Texas? If you get the chance snag some Jester King as well. I've only had El Cedro that hooker sent me but he could give u some advice as well. They're good for sours/saisons.

    I've been looking for some JK since I arrived. I'm up in Amarillo, and JK is based in Austin, I've yet to find any bottles this far north. I'm on the lookout tho, I've got a Houston trip happening later this year and should be able to find some there. They definitely look like a sweet beer making operation.
