    I was able to snag 2 bottles before they got cleared from the shelves. Can't wait to crack one open.

    Its on the shelves in IL as well But its never Fresh. If you read the Jilian code on it. I'd like to get some thats around a week or less old. Do you have a better suggestion than Double Trouble?

    Double trouble isn't a yearly brew. So you won't find any fresher. Are you looking for another DIPA to replace it or just another IPA? I would recommend bells 2 hearted ale. Not sure on what local brews you can find up there.

    If you're going to Ann Arbor for the game from western IL you should be driving right by Munster, IN on the interstate. I'd make a pit stop by Three Floyds to see what they have in stock.

    Are you wanting one that has the DFH logo or just that style of glass? It's a Spiegelau IPA glass, and if you just do a google search you'll get all kinds of results. It's a pretty fragile glass but I like it quite a bit.

    Thanks Brandon. Kyle was kind enough to text me some good info on them last night too. I think she liked the DFH logo on the glass so I am going to order some online. Thanks again.

    I've had the Oracle but honestly can't remember what it tasted like as it was a year ago. I remember it being pretty good though if I recall correctly haha.

    This is from a newer brewery in Columbia, MO called rock bridge. I like to try regional stuff when I can and I hadn't seen it at the beer store before. I'm also a sucker for pounder cans. It sucked haha. It had a weird metallic roasty flavor. It smelled like tank 7 and I thought I'd found a diamond in the rough. Not so much!!!!

    I'm not really sure what I'm having yet. I think I might open up the Boxer's Revenge that Hooker sent me a few months ago. Wicked Weed has a Brett IPA that is supposed to be available in Raleigh this weekend that they made with one of the bottle shops so maybe I'll make the trip over. If not, I might just go to my local beer shop and get a growler of something.

    Probably just drinking local stuff. But with the LSU game and my FF draft this weekend, I'll be consuming a lot of it.

    I'm about to board the plane in KC, Napa Valley bound for the next 10 days! Should be an awesome trip! Hopefully in addition to the wines I'll get to try some new brews from Russian river, almanac, knee deep, and the bruery! I'll post some updates as cell service allows it, I don't remember how AT&T is in the valley

    This isn't as good as I was hoping for. The base is really similar to Freak of Nature but doesn't quite work as I was expecting. Can't really notice any brett coming through.
