    Real hazeboiz open the can, throw in a cup of lactose and shotgun that 10 percenter. Only applicable if you have waited at least eight hours in line.

    pretty sure it's an hour per ABV percent, so 10 hours.

    It would only make sense that the 4th anniversary is a quadruple batch. The 3rd anniversary was a triple batch and I don't know if they had "batches" back during the 2nd anniversary release. OH expanded for this very reason right??

    Well I'll be missing this because I'm moving. 2 kicks to the groin this weekend.

    maybe a split batch to make someone's head explode...

    does it really matter. People will line up at the ass crack of down, in freezing temperatures...for beer

    i know i'm not about the #lynelife or the most annoying tag on Instagram #datohlineshare but wouldn't most normal people prefer to share beer with friends at a warm venue indoors, when it is not breakfast time.

    end of rant.. beer is stupid

    I would hope given the low limits for the Taters release (4-4pk pp for 2/3 beers and 2-4pk pp for the other) and what the turn out was for that, OH is prepared and has created limits that reflect that. I still think the limits are too high, could easily see a similar turn out for this as that collab craziness.

    having a second anniversary now and i would not wait in line for it. tasting kinda malty with overripe fruit. this beer doesnt smell or taste green either.

    had a ddh citra galaxy and that destroyed this beer in flavor and aroma. not sure if it influenced my palate (or palette for @rozzom)

    I’m sure two years ago that beer was amazing compared to what was being released at the time but pales in comparison to what is being put out today.

    yeah i could see that but my pour was pretty sloppy. no head. no lacing. no fresh hop smell/taste. it seems like a lazy execution more than an outdated recipe.

    I think it's good, but still sort of looks, smells, and tastes like just about every other DIPA they make.

    Worth buying some cans though if anyone is on the fence.

    I’m assuming just pours, no growlers until after Saturday’s release, right?

    I wouldn't be surprised if like Triangle Test, these take a while to make it to growlers.

    No growlers yet.

    Normal OH 4/4 and 8/12 pricing.

    If/when this OH BA meet up happens, there should be a blind taste test done with the five highest rated DIPAs they have on tap at the time. I’m confident nobody would get them all right.

    I think I could probably pick out their best beer of 2017: Another Dose.

    Agreed. From the info we’ve seen come through recently is that 1 batch = 150- 160 cases. With a case limit and a 4x batch that still only gives you at most 650 allotments

    Loved that beer.

    Also Infinity + Everything deserves a shout-out.
