    Not sure but it could be the types of extra adjuncts and higher ABV% (I think orbit is normally 12%)

    it's overrated, as are teku's

    my Samuel Smith tulip pint glass that I got in a package with a couple of Samuel Smith beers is far better than my Tired Hands teku I got four years ago

    Even the previous barrel aged orbit bottles weren’t $18. I think I’ve been priced out here.

    I like Tekus, they're pretty cool looking but they're awkward for OH cans because they're slightly too small at 14.2oz. I've switched to using stemless wine glasses a la Interboro or Imperial Nonic Pints.

    My Interboro stemless wine glass and my KCBC 16oz can glass are two of my most used for sure. I also like the Nordic Pint glasses which I know OH has had available. If they did a branded can glass like KCBC I'd probably buy it tbh.

    I would honestly recommend picking up some imperial pint glasses, its about 3 oz larger than a US pint glass so it allows for more head and it gives you space to nose a US pint.

    Are there any cans of any description available? Or out of everything. Sorry for the lazy question but lost track

    They had the Great Notion collab last night, not sure if they sold out.

    Need some early reviews of Citra+Medusa please! Specifically how the citra holds up against the medusa and its so-called melon notes.

    Stopped in this afternoon.
    May be by after 7PM if you go, I owe you a beer. I am curious to see how OH does with a kolsch.

    Suarez kinda set a ridiculously high bar.

    It’s definitely melon forward, I think it’s pretty good.

    I think the Kölsch is the best out of the new releases, it’s like a better version of Boat. I’d put Citra + Medusa second, Indigo Hands next and International Song Omnibus last. However I really enjoyed all of them, way better than last week’s releases and probably less hyped cause it’s English breweries.

    Citra Medusa is solid. Maybe a little more muted than I was expecting
