Grabbing lunch at Surly before I hop on my flight home. I really think these hog frites are my favorite menu item from any brewery taproom anywhere.

You guys seeing those images sideways or something?
If it's any consolation I don't think that beer or others like Coriolis are on the same level as they once were. Those first few pre-hype growler only batches were pretty magical. Things are scaled up now and the head brewer has left for Counter Weight so they seem a bit different to me now. Still the best can design ever though.So I remember first hearing about this beer a few years ago. It was growler only and released infrequently. I recall folks talking about how lines would start forming at the brewery as soon as word got out anytime that it was on for fills. I tried trading for it a few times (back in my BeerAdvocate days aka the dark times) but the ask was always so high I wasn't interested in getting bent over to try it. Fast forward to few days ago and I see someone on FB with some cans ft. I didn't even know they started canning the stuff, so I jumped at the chance since it was a very reasonable ISO. So now I'm cracking into one for the first time. The vaunted FBD at last.
Man is this mediocre to my tastes. It's like Zero Gravity Conehead (which is on shelves pretty much everywhere in VT for $10/6pk), except not as good. Never meet your heroes.
