Hehe, I put up an ISO for it over the weekend. My buddy is from Jersey and grew up with Fudgie the Whale and really wants a can. Didn't even get shitpost fudgie GIFs. :-(

I have a fondness for Fudgie (even though I've never had one) because of MST3K. Don't even really care about trying it. Mostly just want the can.
 
That sierra BFD or whatever its called is absolutely delicious and a steal at 2$ a tallboy.

The first time I saw it was in a case distributor (PA) and they broke it down and sold it for $2 a can. The next time I saw it was in a grocery store and they sold it for $3 a can. Still a good deal.
 
Would tick for sure. Can't wait to get my hands on some Strata, that stuff is fantastic. I'm sure it's gonna become one of the next hot hops soon enough.

Fort George is awesome but Three Magnets IPAs have SUUUUCKED since the brewer in charge of them left and started up his own brewery, Matchless. Which, by the way, makes awesome IPAs.

Speaking of new-ish hops, this year's 3-Way uses Ariana which I'd never heard of before. Looks like a German strain related to Huell Melon and Mandarina.

Yeah, same deal with Callista hops. They're really great but pretty pricey on this side of the Atlantic. The Deutscher Hopfen is really worth a visit if you get the chance, that's where all these strains are developed. It's also right next to Urban Chestnut so you can go drink there as well.

Barth Haas has a pilot brewery at the facility in Yakima that they use to show off new hops to potential buyers. It's closed to the public, but if you ever make it out to Yakima, the Cowiche Canyon Kitchen and Icehouse downtown has an agreement with Haas where they always have one or two of these experimental beers on tap. They're typically really good.

Nice, I've been meaning to visit Crosby sometime soon and I'll try to check out Barth Haas as well.

Was this pre- or post-Little Juice smoothie edition? I actually really like that one.

Post Little Juice Smoothie, which is still a good beer. I haven't been impressed with any of the new IPAs 3Mag has turned out in a long time now. And they sure do make a ton of them.

Matchless has been around for a year or two now.

Matchless is fantastic, for sure. I'd put them just slightly behind Claim 52.

I really liked Juice Station Flash from Claim 52, reminded me of Night Shift's Whirlpool. I tried some of their stuff at the brewery and got some cans when I was down in Eugene visiting family last year. They're planning on Seattle distribution but it hasn't happened yet.

I think they're having a hard time even keeping up with Oregon demand. I will say, I'm thrilled to start seeing Bale Breaker down here though.

Wait, is that a good thing?
