2BD is an 8/15 Ghost. I agree that it is more "juicy" than the July release, but I still find it slightly more bitter than previous batches. Further research is necessary.

3BD is another Ghost. I've got 'em, I may as well drink 'em. Very tasty as well.

Is that a fresh one? Looks like a July.

Yep, bottled 8/15. It is juicier, but still not the juice bombs that we are used too IMO.

3BD

It's Complicated Being A Wizard. Signature DIPA from Burlington Beer Co. Excellent.

I've had a few 8/15's. Much better. You're right. Maybe it's the lighting that threw me off.

I don't know much about brewing beer but do they have to sacrifice better ingredients when demand gets so high and they need to produce more in order to maintain that profit margin?

Brew more beer and you get the benefits of economy of scale. Brewing on a large scale like that is hard to get the same flavors, though...

Yes, the lighting is bad in the pic. I'll have another and take a better pic.

FBD - Double Mountain Randall Knife IPA. Easily the best Double Mountain IPA I've had. Really good. DM has had some decent, but not great IPAs in the past. This is definitely better than decent.


Had a sample of that Stone beer in the background. No thanks.

Jax you ever have anything from Gigantic? I had a collab at Anchorage. Saison with apples and berries. It was awesome.

I think you've sent us the Killer Green and Killer Red. I agree that they were really good, but nothing like some of the other stuff.
