    For me, the most memorable ones are AGE, Street Green and 1st canned batch of Mosaic.

    Working about an hour from the brewery. Thinking about going to the can release tomorrow. I know I've seen on here not to park at the McDonald's. But if I drive down is there anywhere to park near the brewery?

    You should be able to find a spot pretty easily. Maybe not so much on Court St., but if you go on the other side of the BQE there should be a ton of spots around the various warehouses there. Just make sure to check out the signs. I've parked on that side before and while it can be a bit of a hike if you're loaded down with beer, it's better than circling for a spot.

    From what I could tell, it was specially brewed for the Rapha (a high end cycling clothing company) store grand opening last night. A friend that was there posted the pic on IG. I know Sam from OH used to be part of the Rapha crew and do their rides. (maybe still is, not sure).

    Also, for the admin that edited my previous post, my apologies, I wasnt trying to really solicit a trade offer within this forum, I was just trying to figure out more about the beer in general.

    I brought a growler of the new Mosaic to a share yesterday. I hate to be "that guy," but it doesn't compare to last year's. Had it side by side with a Second Fiddle which showed way more Mosaic character.

    I suspect this is just Citra with a different label. The bottom of the label says "Citra" right above "India Pale Ale," and if you look at their other beer labels I can't find one where it has text above the style descriptor, with the exception of Make it Rain, where it also says the name of the beer about "India Pale Ale."

    Probably not top 10, but with this spring weather, I'd love to have a Baby Diamonds. Hope that comes around again in the summer, as opposed to December.

    Well, IMHO, Second Fiddle is just about second to none. That's one of the best DIPAs period

    Even if that's the case, it has to taste better with a rarer label on the outside of the can.

    Agreed. Did not quite understand the sessions being canned in the winter, when they went the entire summer without releasing one.

    Less trouble to be had pounding Baby Diamonds at the beach than a 4-pack of AGE.
