Alter isn't DDH Julius.

 

I don't go every week but I am a stay at home Dad with kids that are tweens so it's pretty damn easy to go a few times a week if I so desire. Getting rid of fresh TH for trade or sale is easy as pie so why not if you can?

 

"For sale".... <shakes head>

 

Ah yes, the infamous 5 hour lunch breaks people take on Thursday and Friday.

 

OG Bright 10pp. Wonder what the silent release will be.

 

Last time I went the people in front and behind me were on (different) work conference calls the entire 45+ minute wait. So that seems to be a thing.

 

Agreed; I've seen this before too. If people want to get TH beers badly enough, they seem to make it happen.

 

Boston/Cambridge is a tech startup hub. If people want to go out on a weekday afternoon to get TH beers, they certainly can - be available if needed via email/phone, and chances are you're working nontraditional hours anyways.

Every company I've worked at around here has a "I don't care what time you're in the office as long as you get your shit done" attitude. So... "OMG don't you people have jobs" is a stupid question.

 

I don't personally sell TH beers but I trade for beers I can't get in MA.

 

DDH Julius is JJJuliusss. Alter Ego is basically Julius but with Mosaic as the primary hop rather than Citra (I think Julius is mostly Citra-forward... others may correct me).

 

I have done conference calls while my cooler and growlers waited in line for me before opening.

Quite a bit of people have the flexibility in their jobs to be out of the office during normal business hours as long as the work is getting done.

 

I believe Nate has also said that nothing is really DDH cuz that would be an insane amount of hops.

Anyway, I'm psyched to crack open an Alter Ego tomorrow. I haven't had one since before it got its own legit can.

 

Years of drinking Trillium have made "DDH" my go-to word to describe extra-hopped. Thanks for the Amarillo addition.

Incidentally, am I right about Julius-Citra?

 

Nah, I think it was more a Freudian slip. Nobody was talking about selling or trading beers until you told us (unprovoked) how easy it is

 

I believe Julius was originally called "Citra" back during the beginnings of TH. The recipe has been tweaked several times since then as Nate has mentioned. I would venture a guess that it is still primarily citra forward with some other accent hops.

 

People selling TH beer has been mentioned several times in the past on this thread. At least once a month.

 

I used to work with a guy who sold it. Made crazy returns. Basically putting himself through Grad School.

 

Did he scalp tickets too?

 

I put myself through grad school scalping low numbers at the deli. I once sold a 3 for $28.

 

There's definitely a mix of of ppl from different jobs. I work in construction within 495 in mass. I've only been 4 or 5 times but if I have a job that I finish early and I'm within get an hour of treehouse at my jobsite I will go. Other ppl who work retail or in any hospitality industry generally have to work on weekends and get a couple midweek days off. Not everyone is a slave to the man!!
