Jealous!!! Never had it and surely can't get it over here.

Basser I should have added that I scored a bomber of your Southern Hemisphere Fresh Hop Ale this week too. Its currently chilling and will be gone by weekends end at worst. Never had a beer with NZ Hops and not this one either. I am looking forward to drinking this one. How long ago did you guys brew these batches?

Fresh beer is a beautiful thing. It's one of the main reasons I homebrew.

Not Basser but I really like Torpedo. Think it is a great beer for the summer. But that is just me.

I'm sure Basser would suggest to try them all and then also ask for their excellent Stout to be carried.

They still have glissade? D'oh! That is a bit long in the tooth, so I would avoid it. In tests, it didn't age very well either.Torpedo is my favorite year round SNBC offering.Pale is just the mothers milk.MolBasser

It could just be the website hasn't been updated as well. I don't know how tied in their inventory is with their website.

Pale is just the mothers milk.

This needs to be emphasized.MolBasser

Hey Basser, tell you what. Whenever it is that I can find time to trek up to Chico for a brewery visit I'll bring you a growler of Pliny. :)Just remind me to grab it if you remember.

[ThroatwobblerMangrove]

Torpedo is pretty good. I don't drink the pale that often but am I correct that torpedo has similar malts (just more of them)? I thought the hops were nice although I'm more of a citrusy and less of a piney kind of guy. Very well executed IPA but maybe not exactly to my personal tastes.

Pliney uses quite a few extracts....While not satan, that takes a little luster away.Badogg, C'mon up.MolBasser
