I would love to pick up a few of these Heady ones that everyone has been raving about.

I tried Heady Topper during one of our Friday afternoon beer tastings at the office (rough life, I know). It is damn good.

Here was the selection from last week, in the tasting order (I brought the Hop Devil and Pantius Droppus):

The HopDevil and Celebration IPAs are quite good…

Curious as to your thoughts on that Pantius Droppus and the Great Lakes Chillwave.

I have had both. I really enjoyed the chill wave, the EBC in my opinion was meh…not very much hop presence, malt forward

On draft and in bottles at ABW in EA, not sure if that is local to you or not.

Really enjoyed Chillwave. Pantius is my favorite beer right now, but I lean toward boozy malts over hops. Pantius has been regular stock at Consumers and Premier for a while now.

Heres for all the Heady humpers, and those that say oh it so hard to get.

4 stops later and you can end up with this…

hard: requiring a great deal of endurance or effort.

I would consider going to four different stores to purchase the same beer “hard to get”. If its so easy to obtain with minimal effort why not send some to the 5 or 6 people on this board that want it.

Just got back from New Orleans where I drank mainly Abita beer, which is available here. Also had some NOLA beer as well. Buffalo definitely wins the Local Beers in Bars compared to Nola. Walked Bourbon St. with the walk up drink windows, I’d love to have that here.

Beerology tomorrow, anyone else going?
