    Cracked open a can of Cream Get the Honey just now. I'm really surprised at how honey-forward this beer is. I've had plenty of IPAs with honey added, but I could only sense a generic sweetness from the addition. This is the first IPA I've had where the honey flavor is extremely apparent.

    Interboro has utilized Centennial on a few beers.

    I am a huge Centennial fan and use it in a lot of my homebrews. The fruity pebble flavor you can get from the correct use of it is amazing.

    Centennial is one of the OG Citrus hops and most people associate a certain taste/aroma from old school west coast IPAs when it was used throughout the boil. However more modern Hop applications like late boil/WP/DH produce a very different experience than what people know of old school beers that tout this hop (2 hearted). HF uses it fairly regularly and I bet a lot of beers use a decent amount of it but don't really let you know. Tropicalia from Creature Comforta uses a sizable amount of it with Citra and a touch of Galaxy.

    Other Half has also previously released Centennial on draft, I believe the last time was in January.

    What's the verdict on Centennial? I'm debating grabbing cans after work today.

    Good point. Ratings are pretty low for OH standards. Might still try to swing by to try myself.

    There's a lot in that article I did not want to learn about. Kind of a weird desperate scene. Its playing out in real life but very much rooted in the online social "community"

    I like "I seek out." It much more accurately reflects the awkwardness involved in the world of lines and beer trading.

    Have you seen this video? It's basically the beer equivalent to "Reefer Madness." It will seriously make you question taking another sip again. Wish I never saw it but did thanks to this thread.

    People are insane. Amazing how far that line actually went to. If they were giving away gold bars I wouldn't wait in a line like that. Also amazing that NYC allows hundreds of people to camp on the streets and illegally drink alcohol.

    A couple of my thoughts on this video.

    1. This is sad.
    2. #linelife doesn't look too exciting, just people drinking beers on the sidewalk.
    3. People need to hit the gym.

    Looks like NEIPAs are a leading cause of dad bods.
