Ralph let me in on that about a month ago - We could have smashbomb and Red Racer in stores around the same time. Awesome.

seriously? you just made my day! After trying the Mad Tom recently, and hearing that Tree Hophead would be coming in as a general list beer, I said to myslef "now just give me red racer and smashbomb and I will be very happy.' Didnt actually think we would get the Red Racer though. just fuckin great. Anyone know how soon we can expect this.

Who cares, they'll all be delisted within a year.

While you're most likely right at least it will be a hoptacular year.

If they could just learn to parallel park! :)

It would be a great one to have. While I like all these hoppy alcohol bombs, I really like Hopyard and Nugget Nectar. Lots of 3-D hop flavor instead of running away with sheer power.

It'll only get delisted if no one buys it! So get out there and buy buy buy!
If you`re reading this, there`s a 15% chance you`ve got a significant drinking problem. Get it fixed, get recovered!

I expect it should be coming very soon, as I've heard that they have plans to officially launch it at the Session beer fest on the 25th.

That's great news, I'll be drinking lots of Hop Yard and Southern Tier in the meantime. :)

Not that it helps you in Sudbury, but those of us in the GTA will also have 10BY coming very soon...

Ya the only way I would get 10BY is through a store transfer. Hell the only way I get any good beer up here is when I order it.
