Which other half collab?

 

My question as well.

 

There is a Stillwater/Other Half collaboration, but I don't know anything more about it.

 

It's called Rockstar Farmer and claims to be a Farmhouse Session IPA. Label looks like it's from Omnipollo. Says it was brewed at Crazy Mountain in Denver.

 

Arrowine's weekly email said today for jammer

 

The bottle of Rockstar Farmer I had a few weeks ago had a really strong, medicinal brett character to it. Not sure if it was an off bottle or what, but I've gotten that same sort of plastic-y flavor from Stillwater beers before. Cool label though.

 

Yeah, I wasn't particularly thrilled with Rockstar Farmer. It wasn't a bad beer, but I was hoping for something a little more from a collaboration with a brewery I love as much as Other Half. The hops and brett flavors didn't seem to meld as well as I'd hoped and instead seemed a bit at odds with one another (it was more of an earthy hops flavor as opposed to a citrus-y one). It was very bitter and very brett-y.

 

Yea, it's not great. Really though, OH is kind of a one-style brewery. Their IPAs are great, other styles are very hit-or-miss.

 

The Stillwater/Dugges collab (Topical Punch Ale) is incredible though. Can't recommend that beer enough. Downtown Crown still has a couple bottles.

 

This is 100% correct. After my first one I went out and found a couple more bottles.

I wasn't that impressed with that other bottle that's supposed to look like a Swedish Fish package, Syrligt.

 

Anybody know anything about Rodenbach's Alexander, and if it's going to be released anywhere around the DC/baltimore area in the next few weeks, or if it already happened?

 

Stillwater/ Other Half - Rockstar Farmer at planet wine del ray. Looks like an Other Half ipa that stillwater sours.

 

Anyone see Enjoy by Tangerine 5/30 in NOVA yet? On Stone's website they say that it should be at Norm's (and lots of other places in NOVA), but Norm said he hadn't received it yet and I haven't heard of it hitting anywhere.

 

@ WF foggy bottom: GGW ($9) & uncle Jacobs ($15) in the cooler

 

K1 has it

 

If you happen to be in Bethesda, and you missed Schlafly Eleventh Labor, Bradley Food and Beverage has it for the bargain price of $25.99.

Also, Cork 57 has Bruery Mash for $12.99. I felt bad buying it for that much as I figured the price was under (by like $15) so I checked with the beer guy and he said it was correct. I feel like that was the least Montgomery County could do for me.

 

I found a Mash at Reston WF for 10.99. Could not resist

 

120 on draft at FL WF. Does anyone else think this is incredibly sweet?

 

Yes. Found Mash at Wine Harvest for $10.99. Sounds like Montgomery County mis-priced it. Fine by me

 

I also got it awhile back at Gilly's for about $10.99 -- gotta grab bargains where you find them.
