yep. faux sours, so-so belgians, likely-stale IPAs. zzzzzTheSevenDuffs wrote:I have to agree Liam. Not a single beer excites me in this release. Hopefully they excite some BTers.liamt07 wrote:

2. IPAs are all coming from overseas. not a hotbed of IPAs, plus they'll be nice and unfresh by the time they make it to shelf
3. zero US releases. considering all the wicked things going on south of us, it's a shame that we get nary a sniff of what they offer. like, somehow get us some nice barrel-aged stuff on a consistent basis. or, other than the splash that Founders made, name any top US releases we get up here?
4. if you're going to go sour, then at least choose beer that isn't (literally) saccharine sweet
i won't be spending a single dollar on any of these beer. and the quantity in this release is quite small.
*edit* just saw this posted.
not that i expect RR here, but considering the proximity of Bells and 3Floyds and HF, you would hope a trickle would get up here. well, capacity-wise, not from HF. but they are so close to us that we should really be getting some 3F or Bells.@CNBCBeerNews 1h
