    Like whoa is $18 for 64 oz, $12 for 32 oz. it's delicious! I've never had trillium but it tastes a lot softer and easier on the palate than typical OH

    I emailed other half about the growler. Said the pressure can sometimes blow out the bottom. Said it's a 1 in 200 shot. They are going to give me a free one on my next visit. So it blows I'm not drinking like whoa but at least I'm not out the $20

    Bright side: if you live in Manhattan or Brooklyn, you should be able to find it on tap at a few bars soon.

    Taste aside, does anyone have a problem with the name? Throws me off every time I see it in this thread. Always think it's the start of a comment along the lines of "Like whoa man this is the best beer I ever had". Anyone had the humiliation of ordering it at a bar yet?

    Just put the same emphasis on it as Black Rob does in the song that it is obviously named after. Comes out a bit different. Like Whoooooa.

    I'm 35 and have no idea. Googling him, it seems he's 5 years older than me. Oh well

    It was not a particulary popular song when it came out 15 or so years ago. I only even remember it for how ridiculous it was.

    OH's beer names are rife with hip hop references, so if you don't know who Black Rob is, there's a good chance you have missed all the other references too.

    Most of them are old hip hop references too. "All that and then some......short dark and handsome" is a line from a Tribe Called Quest song from about 1992. There's two of their beers right there. I figured they were too old for many of the hipsters that line up to recognize.
