ISO Heady Topper

Post by Kealia »

Yeah, yeah, I know lots of people are but I thought I would throw it out there. I'd love to get my hands on a Heady Topper to try one for myself.
I'm picking up some FRESH Pliny on Saturday and can offer some (or something else) in return.

I'd rather do this here than reach out via HBT where I don't know folks.

:give:

I'd love to be able to do this for myself:

Really enjoyed the video. Made me go pour a half glass of my Pliny clone to enjoy while watching it.

Ron, have you ever had it before? I've had it 3 times and I really, really enjoyed it. Is it the best? Maybe not but I feel as an IPA lover, you gotta have some.
It's hard as hell to get.
They don't always have it but keep looking at https://www.craftcity.com/ as they get beers in weekly. Not cheap but if you have to have one, (or others that are hard to find) give them a shot.

I can't get either (except for brewing my own clones). Only pliney I have ever had was not fresh. Never had a heady topper. Sucks.

I've had Heady Topper and liked it but not nearly as much as the hype surrounding it would suggest. As for bragging rights well that's another story since so many people have this brew on their wish lists.

I'e never had Heady Topper, either. It's not one I'm dying to try, but would like to at some point. I'm not going to schedule a vacation around finding one or anything but thought I would toss the offer out there in case somebody has access to get some.

I've had both, and I'll be right up front and say that I liked Heady better than Pliny. Not that Pliny is bad by any means, but I loved the flavor of Heady better.
