    I have tried it on tap twice. The first time I hated it. The second time I was able to finish the 8oz pour. Not something I plan on seeking out again.

    I wouldn't compare 120 to other DIPA. It's 5% to 9% more Abv than the beers you guys named. I understand why people don't like it's sweet and sryupy.

    Part truth, part sarcasm...my post, I mean. I see both sides of the coin here...I just don't consider it a IIPA, DIPA, etc.

    Yea but DFH is known for rating their beers higher in abv than what they really are. DFH 120 says 18% abv, but its probably closer to 15% abv. But I see what your saying, for DFH 120 is not really like any other DIPA...

    How exactly would these falsely abv rated beers make it past the oh so particular TABC?

    Because it doesn't say the alcohol percentage on the label and they reported to the commission that it is actually around 15%[​IMG]

    After calling & visiting all the places I could think of in search of some cheaper 120, I caved and bought one of those $18 bottles...just one. The guy working the store last night (not one of the "beer guys") said they originally had it marked at $25 a bottle!, and that an hour earlier someone came in and bought a 6-pack. Good to know I'm not the only sucker :/

    what vintage is it? possible they're selling it at that markup due to it being an older bottle.

    Ohh...didn't even think about that. It's 2011.

    Not a big 120 fan but I saw that Addison Saucer is tapping a keg Sunday at 3 or so. You have to get a ticket though and those go on sale at 1 or something like that. Part of their BrewBBQ Sunday.

    Also a keg of BBDPP from 512 goes on at 1.

    For those who are interested, the San Antonio Saucer is tapping 120 tomorrow at 6 PM. Personally, I'm more looking forward to finally trying Ranger Creek's San Antonio IPA.

    The Flying Saucer on Lake Ray Hubbard is also tapping 120 tomorrow night, at 7pm. $3-4 for all other IPA pints.

    Due to National IPA Day they will have Ranger Creek IPA for $3, Brooklyn Blast snifters for $4 and a rare tapping of DFH 120 Min. Curious to see what they will charge for a snifter of this in San Antonio. Any idea anyone?

    Had 120 at Houston Saucer a year or so ago and it was $6 a snifter if I recall. Pretty reasonable.

    At $6 a snifter that is very reasonable. Hopefully they keep it at that same price bc the wife is watching my beer budget. :grinning: Wife has been upset with all the beer purchases recently and accuses me of hoarding bc she can't fathom beer being cellared. :angry:

    I thought the term 'cellar' was just a euphemism for hording :wink:
