I've got a Halloween Slice shirt with skeletons breathing fire and poo poo. It's awesome, and like the second beer shirt purchase I've ever made.

Their branding is so good. I have a couple shirts from them, and I don’t have many other brewery shirts.

Had a Live Oak hefeweizen this week and it probably is the best Hefeweizen in the country.

They bring a bunch up to MN whenever they do stuff with Fair State and I'm just so glad that those places are good buds (because Niko used to work there). That hefe is so good.

I’m pretty anti beer shirts, but I did grab a bunch of stickers and one of their discs for frisbee hikes.

Cold IPA is basically the same technique but better

Brut IPAs should be finishing entirely dry. Cold IPAs have residual sugars due to not using enzymes to fully convert the mash into fermentable sugars. Bonus points to Brut IPAs for being allergic to a bunch of adjuncts.

modist is my favorite local brewery by far (i'm in minneapolis). I haven't heard of great notion but it looks like they are based on portland

I’m guessing that’s the American Slime Ale out of TX. I got a can in a secret Santa box a couple years ago and it wasn’t awful.

They ship them to the west coast a few times a year and everyone goes ape for it, but at least by me in Sacramento, many breweries absolutely slay HT and focal banger. They don’t even move my needle anymore when I read about a drop in the area.

Every time I do try it, it’s just “yep this is a hazy from a decade ago that still tastes the same.”

You don't have to truck chase anymore if you're driving to VT and can get it basically everywhere, but it still sells out very quickly every time its distributed down to the boston metro area. I still enjoy it because I've been drinking it for a decade and it has a very nostalgic feeling, but trying it for the first time now might be disappointing, but worthwhile if you never have.

Lawsons though, you can get Sip in practically every grocery store thanks to contract brewing at two roads.

People make the mistake of comparing Heady to modern hazy IPAs when it's much closer in style to a modern West Coast IPA. If you are going into it expecting a hazy IPA, it's just going to taste wrong.

No, it is a hazy IPA like it should be. Along with Lawson's. The chicken soup silicone fruit smoothie bullshit isn't "hazy IPA" no matter what it calls itself, it's Johnny come lately garbage for child palates.

But tell us how you really feel...

Though yeah. Heady remains a drat fine beer (as does focal banger). Particularly on tap, too. But it's a drat fine IPA from when bitter was still a feature.

It's kinda funny to see some breweries still using "NE IPA" or "NE style IPA" (Revision for example) while most of the world has moved to "hazy".

I still like HT and usually grab a couple cans of it and Focal when they drop in Portland, they're still sitting on shelves 3 weeks later since the novelty has worn off.
