Did anyone try the Confluence Extinction Event New England Style IPA??
I'm not big on IPAs and wondering how this one compares to Sticky Juice. I have only found a few I like.

I had the Extinction Event-Citra and Huell Melon. OK beer but not in the same ballpark
FWIW, I found that the second Extinction Event with Columbus, Galaxy, and Mosaic was better than the Citra and Huell Melon version.
Totally agree. Nearly every time I've had a beer that is supposed to be legendary, I've come away a little disappointed. They have always been great beers but you can get locals that are just as good. I've had beers like Heady Topper/Focal Banger, Pliny the Elder, Zombie Dust, Hill Farmstead stuff, Maine Beer Co. stuff, Other Half stuff, etc. Although most of the big legendary stouts I've had have lived up to the hype.
I think I've had every beer/brewery you mentioned and I agree completely. They're always excellent, but I've almost never found something there that obviously exceeds our local options (at this point in time).
It was very solid. Not the best one I've had, but definitely a tasty beer that I'd drink again.
Basically like everything Confluence does.
I agree with you guys on most of those being slightly overhyped, but saying anything in Iowa other than TG, Pulpit and at times Barn Town can hold a candle to Hill Farmstead/OH hazy Ipa's is a bit much.
Have you guys tried any hazies from the WC? If you haven't you need to. Monkish will change your life. You will start dreaming of it...trust me.
I was at Flix over the weekend and tried out their "12 Parsec IPA" and wow was it bad... I love IPA's but this tasted like every first batch of home brew I've tried that friends made in their garage.
Ok.. This was the one I tried...FWIW, I found that the second Extinction Event with Columbus, Galaxy, and Mosaic was better than the Citra and Huell Melon version.
THIS. It's a good beer. I'd drink it again, but not a staple in my fridge.
I wish I could find an outstanding NEIPA at HyVee regularly . . .
The Voodoo Ranger Juicy Haze from New Belgium is actually pretty good and I was pleasantly surprised by Sam Adam's New England IPA. They're both a step below what Barn Town is currently offering but they're not bad.
I'm also a big fan of Barn Town's Pulp Non-Fiction.
I've had some stuff from Monkish. It's really good. Also, I didn't list anything else in Iowa other than TG, PR, and Barntown. I did list Forager in Rochester, MN.
Heard great things about Forager. I believe I a "Gummies Make Us Likable" in the box that's in route from my guy in MSP.
I’m really looking forward to later this year when TG starts cranking out cans of King Sue and FS&M. Would love to see those become regulars on Hy Vee shelves.
I've heard about KS in cans, but havn't heard about FS&M. Curious where you saw that??
