    Check insta now. More info is up. I would screenshot it, but still don't know how to upload pictures on BA haha.

    From their IG
    • halfacrebeerNow & Then India Pale Ale pulls back the bead curtain on a fully fogged, Del Monte fruit cocktail resin blend only found in the cold case, past the bulk bins.. Citra, Comet and Simcoe seep through an English strain for a holistic, integrated, personal mega-smudge. Everyone here at the hangar is fully invested in this. Release tomorrow, only in our shop on Lincoln.

    Oh also, @beerbelly_mike, I have the best luck by going into IG via the app on my phone, selecting the "Copy Share URL" at the top right of the post, and then posting the URL as a link here.

    I'll have quite the bday weekend with the releases this week (and the past month). My fridge is stocked of a large variety of NEIPA's lol. Looking forward to this HA release.

    Also will be trying Solemn Oath's offering tonight so I'll report back!

    1 case at 15.99 per 4 pk. I think all of their one-off IPA releases have been the same in this regard.
    Edit: Now & Then I mean. Not sure about the candy limits at the HA store.:wink:

    It was on tap at a SO takeover last night. Early Untappd reviews are positive but the color of it is insane.

    As in good insane? I'm looking at the pictures and it looks like murky grapefruit. Honestly the looks of it are extremely unappealing. But, the taste is more important. If I see it on tap anywhere I will try it. But the look, I'm not feeling it.

    Definitely the most opaque beer I have tried. It was a light yellow hue rather than the hazy orange color you usually see.

    I enjoyed it. Had a nice mouthfeel. Had a nice bitterness to it rather than just straight juice that most places have done lately. I expected this though as SO loves bitterness in their IPAs. Some people probably won't like it that much because of that. Good first attempt at the style.

    I was just there, they had a lot in the fridge and some stacks on the floor. No line or anything.

    I thought I was in the wrong thread at first with all this Solemn Oath talk. :confused:

    I only had a taste of Now and Then in the taproom and thought it was delicious. At 3 they had a fridge full and a couple cases on the floor.

    Also drank a Dungeons in the taproom. Definitely recommend that one. It has a different hop profile than the last one, but it's still delicious.
