    in the last few months - i am pretty sure every mid-week release made it to saturday, or at least hung around for a few days. I don't see why there necessarily needs to be a strict limit on the mid-week release if they are always lasting?

    I do see the value on 2-4x 4pk limits on saturday releases though.

    Agreed. I’m mostly talking about Saturday releases.

    Also, you're cool in my book cause you have a Menzingers avatar.

    On Instagram??? For everyone to see?...Yes

    I'd say if you have an issue then sending an email, dm, or talking to someone at the brewery is going to be taken more seriously than posting in their public social media comments.

    Edit: I too like the Menzingers.

    You are a smart guy, figure it out, just reconfigure the line !

    So essentially...with limits the way they are...there is 3x the normal allotment.

    The 4 years in engineering school really pays dividends

    Have these numbers been validated by @dhaakon ?

    Just had my first can of ACE - UK Version and while its tasty I think its not as good as normal DDH ACE, its definitely noticeably more malty.

    It seems strange that they'd essentially do what boils down to two riffs on ACE back to back with two different collabs. Especially since I think its a pretty lukewarm take to say that DDH ACE is likely going to be better than all of them cause they have spent a lot of time dialing it in.

    In theory, ACE should be even better after this experiment, no? Hopefully they put all this knowledge to good use.

    @dhaakon comes up with 18x the allotment. I checked the calc and it looks legit

    The last batch of ACE was fire so I don't know if I can handle an even better version.

    Yeah, kinda seems like they just have a crazy surplus of Citra on hand.. Good "problem" to have, I suppose!

    Seems like if each beer is a normal batch size, we are looking at around +600 allotments of each. That is a lot of beer to go around. Good move on Other Half’s part.

    I think what the crowd really wanted was 3 different varieties of lactose from cow, goat and sheep milk.

    Been saying that for a while now ^^ all these 24-26 year old Grimm chasers from the last couple years who haven't been drinking all that long are looking for beer that doesn't taste anything like beer.

    Had a Troon beer a few weeks ago, tasted like cheap orange sugar wine. Couldn't even finish it. Zero hop or malt presence.

    Is there anything wrong with that? I think fruited goses and pastry stouts are delicious too. I don't like Mead though so I guess I'm not on that level yet though.
