Have not found this around me yet. Loved last years version, so definitely want it.

it's much better (imo) than last year's spring double IPA... Alchemy hour was what it was called I believe.

I have to agree. I put it off for some other things to try and when I finally got around to it, I was pleasantly surprised at how great it was. I'm not exactly sure what the big difference is, but I think they toned down the mosaic hops this year.

huh... i just read that apparently this IS alchemy hour, they had to change the name though due to some sort of copyright infringement. It's interesting how a beer can change from year to year. I know this year's Great Lakes Christmas Ale wasn't very good when compared to previous years.

I remember saying last year that I thought Alchemy Hour wasn't that far behind Heady Topper. I really liked last years version.

I guess ones palate can change over a year as well. I've been throwing back these Cigar City Jai Alai IPAs and they are delicious. FYI 3 rivers 6 pack in Delmont has continued to have cigar city products in stock pretty regularly.

When I was in Columbus, a bunch of the folk were saying great things about this. As a parting gift from the city, I grabbed a nice goblet from a bar with the frog etched on it. I'm now seeing that same beer (Boris) at Giant Eagles and am very tempted to make a pickup. Please let us know how you like it.

Yes, since that is basically saying you'd commit murder for $85.

I just left work early and picked up another. What did you pay per bottle? Case was $118

It was funny, in a matter of 30 minutes my brother, myself and neighbor buying for their son in Arizona cleaned the place out.

You would think, since I can't imagine it costs that much more money to produce some of these beers.

Although that being said, for anything that is barrel-aged, I can understand it.

How about the bottle shops that are buying the cases, breaking them up, and selling the singles for $9?
