    I have some Space DD and Mosaic DD in my fridge, so this will be a great opportunity to compare the three.

    Do they have weekly Saturday releases?

    Like clockwork, save for the occasional major holiday, such as Christmas. Some weeks they release stuff mid-week as well.

    Going to be in town weekend of 1/20. How quick do these typically go? Like do you have to line up before opening?

    Wonder how different (if at all) Mosaic Dream will be from Mosaic Single Hop. Seems like the exact same beer on paper minus 1 percent ABV.

    Depends on the release, as some last longer than others. Generally speaking, it is best to line up by around 8:00am or 8:30am in order to guarantee all offerings. Last few weeks have lasted past the line, however.

    Speaking of which, do we think this release will outlast the line?

    So basically every beer from OH now is going to reach the $18 or over price tag except maybe the outliers like pilsners, helles, porters. Why in the world is 6.5% IPA $18?

    Got a 16oz. growler of Green City at NYC beer shop tonight. Definitely enjoyed picking up OH in Manhattan.

    Maybe mix all three together too.

    Mosaic, citra, and galaxy are basically the holy Trinity of hops right now.

    Oh...Forever has the same hop bill as Raining Threes. OH you have my attention. Especially since I think Oh.... is one of their better beers and severely underrated.

    But....I said I wasn't going to go to OH until the 4th Anniversary. Damn. (Gotta lose some pounds after the holidays...)

    I'm also not going to OH for awhile. I told the wife on Sunday that I was going over there to grab two 4 packs since they posted that they had Stacks and Cabbage. When I went up to the bar I asked for one of each 4 pack and they pull up 3 4 packs. I was like "Oh no, I only want one of each" so the girl goes "Yeah we have Cabbage,Stacks and Cream of Broccoli left"

    I couldn't say no to any of those beers, so I dealt with the wife being annoyed for 3 seconds and I promised to clear the fridge out before returning.

    My wife went there on Saturday (originally to get a 4 pack of Broccoli and a 4 pack of Mylar - which turned into 2 x 4 packs of Mylar after @Feaor started spreading fake news :stuck_out_tongue:)

    Just to be clear all - SHE IS NOT A MULE - she takes her cut of every..single.. can.... I... open.... - trust me

    Anyway gets time to pay and she says [incredulous, husband going to have a shit rest of the day tone of voice] to the guy "wait he spends $40 on beer here every single week?" (I may have played down the cost of a 4 pack in the past)

    Obviously he could have said - "trust me that's nothing, there's guys that come here and drop $400+ week in week out."

    But he chose to throw me under the bus, remained silent, and smiled knowingly
