Imagine trying to explain to a hazeboi that Avery Maharaja was hot **** back in the day.

Heads would ******* assplode.

Fresh Maharaja is still great. Had a pour at the brewery a few weeks ago.

These 2 from Ohio got me all hot and bothered 10 years ago. Many of my first beer trades were for 6 packs of these.

I still buy at least a sixer of head hunter a month. Being able to easily pull 1-3 week old head hunter off the shelf in six packs is not something I will take for granted.

Brewers used up all of the hop puns between 2006 and 2016, which is why almost every IPA name is now stolen from old hip hop lyrics, memes or trademarked consumer brand logos.

"We interpret our use of Post Fruity Pebbles™ typeface and box styling as satire and thus falls under fair use, but srs don't be a narc and tell them. A narc is the least cool think you can be."
