Had a growler of this last time it was released, delicious.

Might drive out tomorrow if there is some left!

Yep I’ve had it on growler before and you won’t be disappointed.
The porter they’ve got was also really good on growler fills last time.

Got it, love it. Shoulda grabbed more but I budgeted for North Works as well, a first try for me. The BarnCat stuff was definitely a step above

Scored some Badlands (for the first time) this week so I didnt make the trip. On their IG it looks like they're canning something hazy so I might have to be there at noon next Friday especially if there is some 36" Chain left.

How was North Works? I've never heard of them.

Hah, I got the Badlands order too.. First time having success, as well

On a sidenote, someone on our Beer Discord wrote a script that placed him 9 Badlands orders, and the owner allowed him to pick them all up. So they flat out are encouraging hoarders/botters/resellers by the sounds of it.

I had to use an Autofiller personally

I despise them as a business but they make good beer

I really can't wait for BarnCat and our local K/W/C peeps to be dropping Badlands style brews on the regular so I don't need to sit at my browser smashing F5 at 7pm for beer.. cringe worthy

They posted on IG multiple orders for same customer would be cancelled and refunded, wish they would stick to it. My info is auto filled as well, had my order placed in about 45 seconds. Only went for 2 of each just in case.

Agreed, Barncat is a step above, but Northworks are doing some really tasty stuff. Their IPA’s are delicious and priced well, and their Sloth Stout series in all its variants is great.

I’ll definitely return.. I found the Proximity Effect to be a bit harsh but the Lucid State APA was excellent

Definitely will consider it but my fridge is bursting at the seams after I had a buddy drop me off a full 9 pack of Badlands yesterday, I need to play Tetris and make some room in there.. Gimme a day to get back to you lol, I'll clear a few out tonight. If you still got em of course.

I LOVE THE IDEA of meeting a fellow Beer fan in Elmira though especially! Always great to have more people to do trades etc.!

I’m drinking the Proximity Eefevt right now and it’s outstanding. Lucid state was good, but this is much better IMO. It reminds me a lot of Fairweathers High Grade. Very similar
