    Anyone try Oakey Dokey yet? I'm not much of an IPA drinker, but the description on that one has me curious.
    Love that Happy Summer kind of came out of nowhere, not even a hint of it on the release schedule Rio posted above.

    @Ri0 Thanks for the heads up, I'll look for it next time I'm at the store.

    It is on my list for this weekend. I'll post it tomorrow after I enjoy it. :wink:

    I guess I am the only one enjoying the hell out of Happy Summer? Second round was delivered yesterday and I bought a second bottle which is rather rare for me to do for a bomber IPA .

    I enjoyed it (guess I'm starting to find my way with IPAs), but honestly liked Oakey Dokey better. The wood notes balanced the hops nicely, and made for a really interesting beer. Happy Summer was good, but not enough to justify a bomber over a sixer of something else.

    I'm loving Happy Summer. I've had my fair share of IPA's and this one is tasty.

    I would be drinking a lot more Happy Summer if it were in 6 or 4-packs. It's probably the best WI IPA around right now.

    Going up to Sheboygan in a few weeks. Kind of looking forward to hitting up 3 Sheeps now. Was kind of "meh" before reading this thread.

    Thanks for posting that release schedule too.

    Happy Summer was $4.99/bomber at Jenifer St Market today, picked up a couple more.

    Wow, excellent price! So glad I drove right by there today and didn't stop in.

    Keep in mind that the bar in the same building is not owned by 3 Sheeps. The bar has their year rounds and seasonal on tap but not the limited release beers. Your best chance would be to send the brewery an email and see if they have bottles for purchase that you could pick up if there is something specific you want to try. Also, a lot of the local bottle shops tend to have some too, but they do go fast.

    Sounding off in support: drinking it now and finding Happy Summer to be phenomenal. Does it remind anyone else of FFF Live a Rich Life?

    I still find it weird that Ray's called the 3 sheeps "collab" an exclusive beer made for them when 3 sheeps is bottling it right now for the public. Are they including Rays on the label like Mobcraft did for the ones they made for their local liquor stores? Anyone know any info on this? Its a fantastic beer, just wondering about the complete background....

    Took my Oakey Dokey to Cleveland this past weekend, and immediately purchased more when I got back. I'll get into the Summer hopefully this weekend.

    I didn't pick up on any Belgian flavors. Did any of you?

    Most likely nothing contractual that ties them to Ray's, though they'll almost definitely mention them on the label (like they did with HHG).

    I should have clarified: the body was so much heavier than I was expecting. That, combined with the apricot/peach/tropical flavors I was picking up, reminded me a lot of Live A Rich Life...in a good way.

    I haven't been evaluated lately, but its quite possible I'm certifiably crazy :wink:

    Tried happy summer. A really excellent IPA. Super fruity, faint malt. Any word if this will ever be coming back?
