    If I had to guess, Doug was bought through OH for distro, AGE and ED were bought at OH for resale.

    yeah noticed that after i posted, tried to edit my post but got an odd error...

    i thought only Doug hit Distro only, not AGE or Dorado, right?

    I have no idea, but distribution of any OH cans has been pretty rare, given the extreme mark-up it looks like grey market sales. Even Bushwick Fine Fare only marked up to $25 when they were doing it.

    I'm a newbie to Other Half. Went to my first can release on Saturday. Are they typically every other Saturday and how often are the single hop cans released? If El Dorado is truly at the bottom of the single hop varieties then I can't wait for other ones to be re-released. I thought El Dorado was great.

    El Dorado is absolutely better than Equinox or Cascade. I absolutely agree with the rest of that list up theee though.

    The single hop releases tend to be every 2-3 weeks but the next release will be the Trillium/OH collaboration. Not sure if they'll also be releasing a single hop that day too. Either way, it's going to be absolutely bat shit crazy there.

    To weigh in on the list above, I haven't had all of them but I really enjoyed Galaxy. Probably more than I'm enjoying El Dorado. Different people, different palates. Mosaic was tops tough.

    Citra and Nelson are great beers, but it's Mosaic and then everybody else.

    My favorites are Mosaic and Amarillo. I feel like Amarillo doesn't get the love I think it deserves...

    I really have no idea who outside of Other Half is legally selling it and who is illegally selling it, but at $29.99 a 4 pack and OH's stance on what Bushwick was doing, seems very suspect what East Park is doing.

    Not an important question, but...

    I'm a big fan of label art. Does anyone know if they'll be doing a normal can print (AGE, GD, Hop Showers) or will it just be the sticker label like we see for the single hop series? I assume the latter, but was just curious if anyone had any insight.

    For the Trillium? It's a sticker. Designed cans take a long time to make.

    Yeah, for the collab. Figured that'd be the case, but was just curious. Thanks.

    Talked to the OH sales rep last week. He informed me single hops will stay with the stickers. However other beers will be getting can designs. He specifically mention Superfun!
