Aside from the brewery itself? In town briefly for work and heading back at lunch time. Brewery / taproom doesn't open until 2.

Any grocery stores or liquor stores carry it?

Ill tell you like I tell everyone. Call around and ask. You're going to want to do that anyway to see if its in stock before you head out.

I've yet to try Ghost, but I see people posting about it here all the time. Is it worth the hype? Where would you rank it against other beers like Heady Topper or Sip of Sunshine?

Rouses in Youngsville has it so maybe check Rouses in Lafayette. It wasn't in the beer section though it's behind the service counter.

Rouses on Bertrand had it on Saturday. 1 4 pack per person

Not to get involved in maven but this was my least favorite batch in a while.

Everywhere I've called it's gone. Basically if you didn't get it Friday when it dropped, you're out of luck.

I try all kinds of beer. I have mostly hated IPAs. I can't recall the very few exceptions. When i drink them, I mostly get flavors of old lady perfume and pine tree.

Another poster and I recently had ghost on tap. He likes lots of IPAs. We both loved it. We both agreed that the 100 IBU is WAY off. That or neither of us understand everything about IBUs. It's not bitter, and I really am shocked so many IPA fans like it at all.

Damn sounds like I need to get back home more often and try the stuff. May have someone get me a 4-pack and hold onto it for me.

I'm on the email list of Philippe's Wine Cellar, they mentioned Friday that they had gotten a delivery of Ghost.

so you liked Ghost?

Nice!

and what you just described is what separates the great IPAs/DIPAs from the average

great IPAs/DIPAs are not going to be overly bitter
