Other Half February 2018

It seems that's the case every year with the Barrier collabs, not sure why. Last year it was lovely to walk into the old tasting room at 1 on Sunday and easily buy a full case of Throw Some Mo.

 

That was also one of the better collabs from the year, IIRC.

 

The fact that All In is getting the full oat cream treatment doesn't surprise me. But with a name like that I am surprised it's not a 10% ABV behemoth (only 7.2% )...brewed with x# of different lupulin powders and the kitchen sink of adjuncts and flavorings from their best collab beers. What, no prickly pear cactus?

 

Maybe I'm missing something, but how in the f*** are these kegs worth buying? You're lucky to get 40 pints out of a sixtel which means the per beer price is $6.25 to $7.50.

This also assumes you already have a kegerator and don't need to rent any equipment.

 

That's why bars charge $11 for 10 oz. But it is absurd. I almost never go out to a bar anymore that's not a brewery. I can't afford it.

 

Lots of collabs on the way

 

There are some bad brewery names, but Hoof Hearted is one of the worst in my books.

 

Love Alvarado Street, will definitely try to be picking this one up if I can. Just had a Hazing Saddles last night and it was still excellent at almost 2 months old.

 

Throwin this out there- After getting used to all these 10%r's recently - Florets tasting more like a 4-5% Session

 

Does anyone think DDH Space Dream will be released today?

 

Doubt it. It is being released this weekend in Rochester for a mobile release.

 

Damn, looks like the are offering international shipping, could be a big driving force for price.

 

Hoping All In is a double batch

 

Has anyone had Barrier or Interboro’s version?

 

Had both. Enjoyed them both but preferred Interboros of the two. Very good

 

Ony had Barriers version which I like very much. Reminds me of an older style of OH IPAs.

 

Let's not forget J.Wakefield was brewing at OH this week as well.

Anyone catch on Social Media what fruits they were putting in?

 

I am thinking of making a road trip Saturday. Need some assistance, suggested line up time, and what maybe the last time to arrive to get all the releases? I know it is hard to tell, but truly appreciate any help. Thanks

 

From the brewery name to their beer names to their labels and even their descriptions, the Hoof Hearted brand is cringe-worthy. A complete bastardization of “humor” that lies somewhere at the intersection of Tim & Eric misappropriation, dad jokes, and JibJab videos from 2008. I imagine the owners as people who say things like, “BACON FTW,” all the time.
