I literally grabbed everything they had... which was about 8 4-packs. It barely lasted me a week. There was a 2 year gap between initial discovery and that fateful day at the distributer.
I loved it so much I even tried to replicate the recipe (I homebrew). It came close. IBU, smell, alcohol content. The taste was slightly different, a bit more rich.. which IMO was not a good thing. If you can find it i HIGHLY recommend it.
