Can't wait for the first post on how this years SNCA is not nearly as
hoppy/malty/balanced/aggressive/etc. as 2002 SNCA.

Oh, did I forget to mention that? How careless of me!

Actually, this seems like a pretty good one. Though to my taste, the
best IPA in bottles these day's is AVBC's Hop Ottin. On tap, they're
edged out by Speakeasy's Big Daddy, but Speakeasy hasn't figured out how
to get BD into bottles intact.

Ayup. If all those yearly reports on how it's not a shadow
of the previous years version were true, it'd be canoe beer
by now.

Bigfoot isn't out yet, but can I jump the gun and start talking about how
it's nowhere near as good as last year?

Oh, and SNCA 2008 just sucks. The 2006 was much better.

Can't wait to get my hands on SNCA. I'm surprised you pick Hop Ottin
as best IPA. I've had a lot of it and it *is* good but not very hoppy
compared to other IPAs. I guess your tastes are more toward an
'English/Classic' IPA vs 'American' IPA?

It's sold as cheap cologne in drug stores.

A reference to it being similar to having sex in a canoe.....

SNCA has landed in western PA. Bought a case last night and am drinking one
as I type. A fine brew... I'll be buying at least two more cases.

Between SNCA and my homebrew Imperial IPA (just kegged), I should be good
for the holidays. The homebrew is actually closer to a barleywine I guess
(not as much hop-smack as hoped for), but it'll hold me until Bigfoot comes
out. Of course I still have a case of 2002 and case of 2003 in my beer
cellar next to vintage John Hardy and Samiclaus for a bit of variety...

Why why why isn't it available in Dallas yet then? The Central Market
here said it wouldn't be in for another week or so...

I got some a week ago in Lancaster, PA, at the Blue Star. Mighty damned
tasty, boys.

That is weird. I literally went slack-jawed when I spotted the first
display I'd seen in Austin at the HEB in Bee Cave, of all places, a full
two weeks ago.

I have a bottle each of the '00, '02 and now '03 set aside for a
vertical one of these days. I'd really like to find an '01 - if
anybody's willing to sell or trade something, feel free to email through
the link below.
