From the Upright Brewing blog:
(Nashville, TN) - Yazoo Brewing has a previous post on their website about their Hop Project #65. According to the details, it was bottled in early May (May 3rd).
From the Yazoo website:
The next version of Hop Project is being bottled today. We used a mix of Horizon, Columbus, and Cluster hops throughout, including dryhopping in the fermenter. Cluster is an old hop, that was once the most widely used hop in American beer. It has a distinctive aroma and flavor - reminds me of English candy for some reason.
This is the first try at a Hop Project recipe for Ryan, one of our newer brewers. Stop by the taproom and see how he did, or look for this batch in your favorite store!

Colorful summer beach attire encouraged! Time to kick back like a Beach Boy and enjoy the breeze...
Green Flash Goes Retro!
Fall 2012 marks our 10 year anniversary and Extra Pale Ale was the first-ever Green Flash success. A celebratory reminder of the beginning for us - and also about how much our style and craft beer culture has evolved over the past decade. While this early Millennium American-Style Pale is from a time less hoppy, we think our 2012 redux is the perfect summer vintage: crisp, refreshing and bubbling with nostalgia. Debuting on May 16th in the Green Flash Tasting Room and draught for national distribution!
