Brah, you need some? Might be able to make it happen, but it will take a week.

I'm so glad I wrecked my palate of this beer two batches ago. No way I'll be able to enjoy my cases, especially with stout season around the corner.

I finally tried this beer yesterday. It's a solid dipa. Really enjoyed it. I don't guess I get all the hype though. There are lots of solid dipas.

Not really mad, just didnt want to believe that this is what the beer scene has become. Maximizing trade value and hoarding is all this thread is about. And yeah I know some people are just joking. But you're right, I'm not the beer police. I'm just glad I've got someone who will send me some now and again because he knows I like it. No other reason or expectations. I'm out.


You sure bitch and moan alot

While that's true, there's nothing on Ghosts level that is available regularly in south LA

Not really sure. I'm guessing not many. Which makes the hype more understandable i suppose.

This may be the white dude equivalent to an Air Jordan release

If you love your beer to taste like juice there is nothing else like it in the state.

Is what I was forgetting. In don't have a full grasp on what beers you have available here. It's a great beer and you should be proud to have it. Proud enough to put it up against Heady Topper? Ehh... Whatever I guess

Heady Topper? Probably not, no. But it certainly is in the ballpark with heady, sculpin, etc. That alone is remarkable. There's nothing remotely close in the IPA world in Louisiana

Willing to trade some of this GOAT for some Pliny or a Heady Topper. Anyone looking for a deal?

I don't get any hype for any beer. I love them all don't get me wrong, but I think we are way past the point in the craft beer world to be chasing stuff down.

See my review. Not just being a homer on Ghost, but i prefer it over heady. The beers are nearly identical, except i find ghosts flavor is more consistent throughout. With Ghost you get all of that citrusy, dank aroma and flavor through to the end. Heady, you get that same citrusy, dank flavor, but in the end, you get more piney flavors. I also find Ghost has a much stronger aroma than Heady did.

The hops used between the 2 beers have to be identical as well as the grain bill, process and maybe water chemistry is where the beers differ, IMO.

It's a phenomenon in areas with limited availablity apparently. That said, special releases can always breed excitement and get people's dander up wherever you go.
