Other Half (June 2018)

I was the biggest fan of DDH Melcher Street out there, had it as my favorite single IPA. But new version is a drop-off from OG. But I had Dialed-in and Vicinity recently, they were awesome.

 

What and where is Green City?

 

Where you been man?!

Also jump the shark was banned on BA a couple years ago I thought

 

Jump the Shark IXPA, a 9 way collaboration ale, dry hopped 9 times, after it you won't be able to enjoy beer again... Just buy 30 racks of Genny cream for the rest of your life.

 

Jumped the shark has jumped the shark!!

 

Just wanted to thank everybody for the updates yesterday. I got out of work and went back and forth about whether to drive to Brooklyn from Jersey City for the release. When a couple people posted that they had a good supply, I made the drive and got a bit of everything and got home in about an hour.

So far Oh... That's Trill and Space Diamonds are both really solid, although I don't think I would've wanted to take off work early and wait in line for them.

Thanks again for the updates.

 

I just tried the Trillium collab. Excuse me now while I short it.

Space Diamonds is still excellent and the Berliner might be the perfect summer beer.

 

“Awesome, just stocked up at the Thursday release, I’m set for a while...”

“Cashmere + Galaxy? Excuse me, heading back to OH now.”

-this board

 

Holy hell the non-vip evil twin stout is amazing. Tastes like lucky charm marshmallows in chocolate milk. Vip stout was meh. Qdh GC was very good.

Trillium dipped for a while after switching to cans. I think a ton of their stuff has improved in the last 18 months, and some of the new perms are solid.

 

Just had the KCBC side of the collab. God damn is it good....

 

First person to post a video of a haizboy shotgunning a >10% can tomorrow wins.

 

As a former Rochestarian... Fuck yes.

I thought the OH version was super solid as well! Everyone wants to hate on an IPL, but tbh Green Visions was a mess. Same, But Different was a much better beer. Also, holyyyy shit was They Who Drink Beer Will Think Beer good. Way better than If You Like Beer..., though that wasn't bad either.

 

As someone that spent a lot of time partying with friends up in Oneonta and New Paltz during our formidable years, I'm partial to Mountain Brew Ice. At $10 for a 30-rack it's as if they've stopped giving homeless people a chance in upstate NY.

 

Wow, I never knew there was an "ice" beer from Genesee that was worse than Genny Ice. I'll have to keep an eye out for this one.

 

Anyone know what survived the night? Frantically refreshing their insta post before schlepping my way to Gowanus.

 

Yesterday's silent survived. I got there just in time to grab one of the last few bottles of Snowbirds.

Sipping the ET collab now, and holy shit, I hope Snowbirds is this good.

Adjunct-heavt stouts shouldn't be aged too long, eh? This seems like it might be a great candidate to take for the holidays but I don't want the flavors to mute too much.
