Me too.

Isn't Parish going to bottle the DIPA? I like the farmhouse, but I thought the high carbonation kinda threw it off a bit.

I'd go Grand Reserve, but I do enjoy Mechahopzilla and will happily order it when I see it on tap and there's nothing now.

Nothing wrong with Irish Channel Stout either...

I believe he said it was goin to be the next big bottle release, but I was a little lubricated when we had this discussion so I may have gotten that wrong.

It couldn't have been that old the times I've tried it.

Does it fall off at hour 23 or something?
I've had it three times. The first time was the week it was tapped in BR. I don't think they would have sent an old keg?

I have yet to enjoy one enough to even consider a second.

I haven't had Mechahopzilla since late January. I just have no desire. It's big and just too bitter, without the aroma and flavor that I like in a DIPA. The one time I had it at the brewery it was much better, but I've yet to see that duplicated in a retail setting. I'm sure I'll grab a 4 pack when cans come out to try it again, but like someone else said, I'd much rather Timber Beast.

I haven't seen it anywhere in NOLA. I had two bottles, but killed one this weekend. Saving the next one for when the Saints win the SB this year.

I share it with you. I'll be standing on the corner of Charters and Madison after the win.

I believe they still have some at the brewery and will sell them when the taproom opens.
