    No it was never bottled. I think it was released before they started bottling.

    Having now gotten around to drinking all the collab rebrews released so far All Dank Everything is the only one I’d particularly recommend. The rest are blander versions of the original releases. Except maybe the Cloudwater which is as I remembered it.

    Yeah, this batch of all dank is incredible.

    I'd love to see comeback collabs be a thing every 3-4 months

    Surprised @Kanger hasn’t taken all his legacy other half beers to the shooting range yet.

    Dunno if I agree. For the most part the collabs are just marketing bullshit that rehash the same ingredients as their regular beers.

    Given how common this sentiment is, I'm somewhat surprised scrolling through the IG feed at how infrequent collabs seem. Sorta like how lactose is sometimes complained about enough that one would think that EVERYTHING has lactose? We get hit with a bunch of collabs in a row sometimes, but they also aren't all hype beast collabs, see Kent Falls, or any European brewer that isn't Omnipollo.

    Ha! I certainly agree with this in some cases, but in others it looks like a lower stakes way to try something a new.

    As per rehashing the same ingredients, some of the most memorable beers have been City Slickers, 4AM Phone Calls, Berries, Nummy, or any of the Answer collabs. I might be wrong about those Answer collabs and they might just be typically great OH galaxy hop beers, but it's still real to me damn it!

    You and @Comparison_Ford can ride your lawnmowers off into the sunset while drinking boogie board stuntz.

    I’d love to see the collab lager from OH/Interboro come back. That was fantastic.

    I think the collabs they chose were the most profitable based on the ingredients they had on hand. They definitely weren’t the most hyped or universally lauded collabs. Either way, they pretty much chose some of my favorite collabs and I am happy about that.

    At this point, I’m just satisfied. They have enough beer to go round that if anyone misses out they probably have an option available that is just as or nearly as good. That’s really all I wanted in the worst days of #lynelife. I would have to be a serious curmudgeon (or true ny’er) to continue to bitch.
