    My local shop/fillstation (Elizabeth Station) just posted their most recent new brews. Included were bottles of MH#9. When did they start distroing to us? Are they being distro'd by the "big" houses?

    It's been circulating around the area for a week or two. Ridiculously cheap at ~$5.50 a sixer, but not my jam. Not sure who is handling them at the moment.

    I hope Georgetown Brewing sues them.

    Yeah, I thought about that, but like you say it's been a long time, why now? Whatever, I was just surprised is all. Just like the random Genesee sightings I've been seeing around Bham.

    Looking at the median reviews, not jumping up and down over them...unless I am clueless?

    Tempted to buy a 6-pack of #9 and pour it into the drain outside Georgetown Brewing Co.

    We have a keg of it at Chucks Hop Shop. From what I understand it's mostly good for nostalgic purposes but not much of a drink.

    No, I think it's fair to say that there's really no reason to get excited about Magic Hat beers. IMHO, it made complete sense for them to merge with Pyramid, as both breweries make pretty similar beers from a quality standpoint. From time to time Pyramid will make something that surprises me (something that I actually like), but it's pretty rare. Unfortunately, it's even more rare for Magic Hat to make something that I really like.

    Definitely nostalgic circa like 12 years ago, drinking underage in an east-coast Phish lot. Dear God, how things have changed.

    Just passed on Magic Hat because of this thread. F*** those guys. I've heard Georgetown 9lb is amazing and im pissed they let the big guys walk all over them.

    I drank this beer underage too. Probably more than any other beer.

    Like others have said. It'll have a nostalgic appeal.

    A rep from Magic Hat was handing out samples of #9 at Uptown Market last week. If you thought it tasted bad by itself, try drinking it between sips of Boneyard RPM.
