I am another huge Ruthless fan and hate that it rotates out of stock as a seasonal.

I haven't seen Celebration but would love to try it, is it a seasonal as well? If so when would I start searching the beer isles for it?
Release date is 10/25/2013 and I totally agree, their best beer. It's in my top 5 beers ever and sometimes I wish it was a year round offering. Got the info from a Brewbound news letter new beer guide 2013 fall winter season, you can get through this link http://www.brewbound.com/email-signup

I found the Flipside today. I will be pouring one later tonight. And I hope I like it, because I had to buy a 12 pack....it wasn't available in a 6 pack.

I was able to get a 6 pack today but also got a 4 pack of Green Bullet and must have been out of my mind to spend $15 on Lips of Faith, Le Terroir dry hopped sour ale! I was talked into it. :oops:

The Flipside is quite good, it's a mildly hopped IPA in my opinion....or my taste buds are just hop fried a little. It has a nice malty side to it that you would expect out of a red ale. The hop aroma and flavor balances well with the malt side, but not as prominent as I thought it should be to have an IPA name on it. It's a good beer, not as good as their Celebration (can't wait for that to come out). I am not disappointed that I had to buy a 12 pack to taste it...I will enjoy them all.
