Agree about Icon. For me the trifecta is Hop Hog, Icon and Alpha in no particular order. But then I like hops.Yeah, I found some of these a little while back here in Melbs and it quickly rocketed up in my esteem as one of the more "American" beers available in this country (although I did think the I in AIPA should possibly be lower-case as it is at the low end for style, IMO). But, yeah, pretty much ephen-stephen with Murray's Icon for my money in terms of US attitude (Icon is probably a marginally better beer though).
Will try my luck tomorrow will hit up the Carlise store as well
Um no you like ***** loads of American hops or their antipodean equivalents. :lol:Agree about Icon. For me the trifecta is Hop Hog, Icon and Alpha in no particular order. But then I like hops.
now if they start putting dark funk in bottles i will be very happy indeed.

About the best beer going 'round ATM.
I bought a case (16) a few weeks ago at First Choice Jandakot for about $50. Feral tossed the concept of a smaller case to get below the $50 price point on Facebook and got a pretty positive response.Yep, I love it! That's why I'm trying to create something similar at home.
It's funny that I stumbled across this thread because I was going to try and hunt down some bottled Hop Hog tomorrow. I'm gearing up for a second atempt, an iteration of the first experimental batch and wanted to compare my first to the real stuff side by side.
The only place I new of before seeing the few spots mentioned here to get it in bottles was the international beer shop. At $4.80 for a bottle and $52 for 16 bottles how does this compare to the prices in other bottle shops?
