India?

Is that like Kosher stuff having to be blessed by a Rabbi to be considered kosher?

Is that why Parish does Yoga in the brewhouse on Saturdays?


Dude, I'm Catholic, I can't drink that India pagan shite.

6 downvotes? Jeez guys it's a joke.

Thank God Envie is a Pale ale.

Smooth move by Parish.
There may be some deal that if they can move 50 cases of Envie, then they'll do the same with a Ghost release.

I'm gonna go buy some at Calandro's today. I love fresh IPAs.

WLP 007 Dry english ale yeast.
Or, go to the brewery and ask them for some. They'll sell it to you.

When you were younger, did your old man ever catch you smoking, then make you sit down and smoke a whole pack to make you sick so you wouldn't do it again.

Same principle.

These baws just need all the Ghost their little hearts want. Sit home, drink it every day. Get tired of it. Maybe buy too much and they'll let another couple of cases get stale and undrinkable in the closet. Others can do all the trades with everyone they want to to get Heady, Focal, Julius. They'll drink all the rarz, exhaust the value for Ghost trades. They'll brag to their friends, "Hey I got Ghost." Their friends will reply with, "Yeah, well I got Ghost too, so what?"

It's the idea of scarcity that makes it attractive to line up like Soviet era bread lines.

The latest batch tastes like Ghost.
It's not radically different from previous batches.
Not better, or worse.

What beers are you speaking of that are in the same ballpark as GITM? I'd love to know.

Ghost is the best IIPA that can be purchased locally. It's in the same class as Heady Topper, Julius, and Pliny. It's a world class IIPA.

To answer your question, nothing is in that ballpark here.

That being said, "fresh" Envie and Opus Vert can be obtained much easier and they taste very SIMILAR to Ghost. In fact, many people who have had Ghost, prefer Envie because it's much easier to get, and not as boozy.

As far as other really good beers, man, there's tons to be had, they're just not world class IIPAs.

Basically, if you're a beer geek, and have had Ghost, yeah, it gets respect, but there's many others out there to be had.
