    Can you take a picture of the can and post it?  I can’t remember if I had it before.

    Here it is bud. If you haven’t had it, put it near the top of your list of beers to try when you visit Chicago. I like a LOT of beers, but this is ol’ trusty for me. If all beers were going away and I had to pick one, I’d be hard pressed to choose something over this.

    Yep. Admittedly, I’ve found some “alternatives” that are cheaper and more readily available, like Brickstone APA for example. But nothing compares to the real thing.

    I've heard of the Brickstone APA but have yet to come across it.

    I have had a Zombie Dust vs. Unicorn (Pipeworks Brewing) collab after Dark Lord Day at FFF brew pub. Best beer I can recall ever having. I asked the guys at Pipeworks if they were going to start bottling the stuff and they said yes. Keep an eye out for that stuff!

    ^ The Brickstone APA is not going to blow you away like some of these rare beers, but for a go-to six pack that tastes close to Zombie Dust, it’s a must try. Binnys carries it regularly. 

    I love Zombie Dust and I love Ninja vs. Unicorn, so to hear that Pipeworks is going to bottle a hybrid of the two is insane. I need to try this!! Did they say when we can anticipate the bottling of it?

    Dude, you have to try it. I don’t think three floyds distributes east coast so your Chicago trip might be the first crack at it. Even then it’s hit or miss for bars to have it.

    Lol. I know some people feel that way. And with some of the alternative options I’m not buying it as much, so I get it. But it’s the OG in its category for me. Still the best.

    I stocked up the beer fridge today. Got some new ones I’m looking forward to trying. Hop Butcher is one I’m excited for. I’ll report back as I get to them.

    Enjoy!  Hop Butcher is really good.  I've really liked most of their beers that I've had.

    Number 2 and 3 are amazing! Noon Whistle Gummy Apocalypse and Hop Butcher Grid. First one is really good too...Solemn Oath Brewery Snaggle Tooth. Last one so-so. Wouldn’t recommend.
