^^^ stone did another one that was enjoy by Dec 21st, 2012 (end of the mayan calendar). Sounds like they are just trying to come up with clever ways to sell their beer.

Two Hearted Ale from Bell's Brewing! I recently discovered that they distribute in Arizona, so I had a friend pick me up a case while he was down there. Great IPA! If you're in the area its worth picking up a 6 - pack or two.

AAAHHH!!!!!! :detonate:

I have been looking for that! Where did you find it?

And since it was mentioned several times since, I HAD to try it. I have all but given up on NB and so to hear a few folks mention this.... I am on my 3rd one. Unique. Tasty!

have you had their super IPA? I think it tastes really similar to Avery's Maharaja

I managed to buy one bottle at Coal Train (they had 2 left but selling 1/customer and long gone) and I bought 4 at Cork & Bottle in Monument. I have not found any more since.

Wow, thanks, sounds intriguing (and better than the artificial and strangely non-perishable cookies) -- I would have missed it, as I haven't seen it locally, yet ratebeer.com tells me where to find it in Ft. Collins (287 liquors). Sweet! (And cool logo).

Tomorrow, April 15th -- the macro-micro Sam Adam's gets the nod for Patriot's Day day. Simply balanced for drinking after finishing the marathon; a session of drunkenly cheering runners and Red Sox all day; a lunch beer after sneaking the marathon feed at work; or taking the sting out of writing a check to the IRS. YMMV.
