    You must have signed up early on, current fees are $85 for TSA and $100 for Global

    Still absolutely worth it and the time.

    Again, as explained above, that was sarcasm.

    I can see it with Tekus. Craft beer just doesn't make the same amount of profit as some of these other ventures though. Probably a nice off season score though.

    Are these breweries just trolling everyone. A potatoe shirt, brocolli, cabbage, cheddar tekus, a brocolli hipster hat. They're probably dying watching people lap of all this stuff up.

    Surprised beach towels haven't been added to the line-up yet. Can also be used to rest your head when sleeping on sidewalk for next hyped release.

    What's the "joke" with calling beers "broccoli" or "cheddar" or "fully loaded potato."

    Does the cabbage beer taste like cabbage? Do they add powdered cheese? I don't get it.

    I can assure you that those broccoli hats are not considered "cool" by anyone in this borough, save for those within 2-block radius of the tap room on a release day.

    I don't know either but when it comes to brewery in-jokes usually if you guess either phish or weed related, you have a good chance of being right. Also these guys are heavily into hip hop so that could be an angle too

    I though Broccoli started to keep the beer naming trend ''green'' related, then came other green vegetables along with cheddar ie money also being green. Who knows about potatoes...

    Not really an answer but the DDH Cheddar I had does taste a little like cheddar on the back end. I doubt they actually added the cheese though. Hops are pretty crazy in taste.

    As those have described above, I think powered cheese refers to cheese as in cheddar, cheddar as in money, and the powdered aspect is because it was made with lupulin powder.

    There's no phish involved, read the book. At first I thought maybe money cause most of the stuff is green and cheddar can me cash too but who really knows.

    It's widely speculated that the OH beers are named after nicknames of weed (Broccoli, mylar bags, green, etc.) and money (cheddar, diamonds, etc.)

    I think it more or less started as a weed reference with Broccoli, but the subsequent series was a play off of the food theme.

    When is DDH Asparagus and DDH Artichoke Heart coming out?

    I'll sleep on the sidewalk and/or hang with the Jersey Whalez crew if they release DDH Arugula.

    They gonna put the Jolly Green Giant on a hat or is that a copyright infringement?

    Copyright infringement is likely why we got Taters instead of Tater Tots. Tater Tots is registered to Ore-Ida.
