In my experience, don't bother looking for it in the stores, unless it happens to be less than 1 week after a new release.

But, definitely do ask if they have it if you're at a good draft house/tap room. Maybe you'll get lucky.

Seems like the batches have been within the first two weeks of each month.

The last batch was timed solely to send to World Beer Cup as fresh as possible. I know there will be an April batch, but not sure when it's coming out.

Will there be a May batch with the new IPA coming then?

He's taking Ghost to SAVOR in Washington, DC the first weekend of June, so I'm sure a late May batch will be happening.

Wonder if that impacts Ghost date, as you said they've been coming middle of the month. However, with them saying on FB that the IPA would come towards middle, I'm curious if Ghost becomes a late April/late May release. (not that a week of waiting would hurt anything)

Gonna shelfturd. Like everything else. People aren't going to want to pay 18 bucks for Expedition Stout, THA will almost certainly be old when it gets here, and nobody is scrambling to buy stuff like their brown ale.

Not to say they don't make good beer. They do. But market realities.


I'm more excited about 2 hearted.

It hasn't even been brewed yet. We're still a month and a half away from release.



Any idea of the hops they will use?

I really hope they go for something different than an in between ghost and envie type thing. I always keep envie in the fridge, but i would like some different hop character.

I'm pretty stoked about that new beer. Hopefully it's legit.

Is the new IPA going to be a flagship or a rotational?

It was a quick shop job. I thought it would be more convincing.
