    Do you exclusively watch shows featuring actors on the right side of the screen staring creepily at your beer?

    No I do not. Just thought I would see if some one would catch it.

    I did not see that they had done that. But they did just start canning their regular ipa.

    This is interesting. There has been a big shake-up at Ballast Point. The CEO, CCO, founder, and head brewer all depart within 3 days of each other.

    Founder Jack White Jr. and chief operating officer Yuseff Cherney — who also served as the company’s head brewer and distiller — have officially departed, according to Michael McGrew, a spokesman with Ballast Point’s parent company, Constellation Brands.

    White and Cherney’s exit – news of which was shared with Ballast Point employees via email on Friday — comes just three days after Ballast Point president and CEO, Jim Buechler, and chief commercial officer Earl Kight, left the organization.

    Flat 12. 1/2 cycle IPA. Local, chewy, with a snappy hop. 6.5% IBU 104. Good walk about beer

    Any chance you have an extra bottle or two of Huna lying around and would be willing to make some trades? I live in Orange County CA and can get you almost any beer from here. I've got an extra bottle of Fundamental Observation to trade as well.

    I work out of Monterey Park, always down to hit a brewery for some post work beers

    Ballast Point sold out a while ago, no surprise that those people are leaving. They just made millions and have been taken over by a large scale brewer that is trying to destroy the independent craft beer industry, which is one of the reasons I refuse to support Ballast Point in any way shape or form.

    From what I have heard Huna is a rarity. I was speaking with our server at the brewpub and he's been offered 500 for the bottle he has. I can't say I have come across any in my travels either.

    Yass - pretty damn good for a hot day beer, little strong however.

    EDIT: Did not realize it was 12% ABV. Kinda hit me. Makes sense why it tasted a little strong.

    It's a rare one for sure, but from what I've heard a decent amount gets made each release. That server likely has an aged bottle cuz I know the most recent release doesn't have a value that high. I'm in the talks with someone who just messaged me on beerexchange to trade my FO for their bottle of Huna but I'm getting another strong plus from their end.

    It's definitely a really solid IPA, but it is incredibly over hyped. I could name at least 5 others that I think are way better than Pliny.

    I have to agree. It's readily available to me so I'm over the hype but it is a very drinkable imperial style IPA. But I prefer others as well.

    He works at the brewpub for cigar city. So he has an easy in. He's had it for a little while from what I recall.

    Ya, if he's had it for a while it's definitely got a high value. Florida has got some killer breweries so keep your eyes peeled down there
