    Small Green is fantastic. I wish they had canned that for over the summer. Would have been perfect for the beach.

    Can anyone give an idea of the beer list as of now? Got a family member driving near the brewery soon and shd is willing to pick up some beer for me. I'm assuming Green is for G is still on? Any single-hopped Ipa?

    So, anyone else think this past release of mosaic sucked? It was very thin and watery.
    Green street also sucked, hope they get back on track.

    Small green everything was one of my favorite from them last year. Hopefully that sees cans.

    Yeah and Green street was an overhyped let down. Solid beer but much prefer Trillium without OH influence. Hopefully trillium exerts more of their magic when they come down here to brew.

    Everything I've had so far has been maybe average, at best. I think they have potential, and the can designs are cool at least :rolling_eyes:

    Everything OH makes is average at best ???? You need to have your taste buds checked.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ everything has been a 3 to 4ish/5 for me, which is decent. Perhaps I've been spoiled by VT and trillium when it comes to hops.

    I do understand your point in that I don't think they're close to the level of trillium/TH/HF etc but I think in the grand scheme of things they're better than average. Would I be at the releases if TH was closer than 3 hours away? probably not, but I don't have that luxury at this point...

    Okay, sure I agree "average at best" was too harsh. They're usually 3-4s for me so you're right, better than average. I'd like to see them focus on a few beers and make them stellar. They make so many

    All Green Everything is up there with the best of its style. I am drinking the latest batch of Mosaic now and it is fantastic. Their best batch of Nelson was awesome too. Many other very good beers.

    I do tend to agree with this - most of their beers are good to very good, with only a few that I found really great. I think they could benefit from trying to refine some of these great ones and making them truly spectacular. That said, I really appreciate that they provide consistently solid and fresh IPAs to bars all over the city.
