They don’t give a frick about LA anymore. Making beers exclusively for outside markets and shite. Saying FU to the people who made them what they are.

They still do, Ghost is available easily now so a lot of the hype is lost it is a beer most just keep in the fridge as a daily drinker. Parish like many breweries seem to focus more now on the fruited girl drinks but they have 2 collars coming out this weekend. They are also shipping everywhere now so they quit being as experimental

It was nice having Parish distributed in Houston, especially for Reve.

As for Ghost, though, when I want a hazy IPA style like that, my options on the shelf are usually a 4 pack of Ghost for $12, or a 6 pack of Spindletap Heavy Hands for $13. So it’s always HH.

I’ve been burned out on the haze stuff for years now, though. I’m usually buying SA Art Car or Double Down, or Eureka Heights MiniBawce for my regular fridge rotation.

As someone who has recently moved out of region, I sort of miss GITM. I live really close to Other Half so I'm around great beer, but GITM has the OG vibe and flavor that is unique IMO. Everything about it is solid - the dankness, mouthfeel, classic NEIPA flavor.

Also the label and tap are some of my favorites. I mean, how f'ning cool would this tap be in your home setup:

I wish they would learn how to make an actual sour beer, rather than the fruity bullshite sips that they put out.

I traded in 160 4 pack holders for one. I don’t have a keg or anything, but it is a great display piece on my bar.

I say it's a good Hazy DIPA, but doesn't hold a candle to earlier versions. Batch 12 (or 13) for the win!

I have a couple Jockamo promised to Boo, but I can probably alter that trade if those aged bottles would be enough trade bait.
