    Has the line for tomorrow started yet? Triple can release and one being a space cookie adjunct beer with a 1-4 pack limit, sounds like a shit show.

    I believe that for that release their Twitter said there was 600 people in line at opening. Even with the triple release tomorrow, you’re right, I don’t see it being anywhere near that. I’m betting 400 or less at opening.

    Experimental space cookie is a drain pour. Glad I only traded for one can. Too sweet. Pools on Pools is great tho.

    Only cookie I've liked is the regular Space Cookie, and it seems like that's an "every other batch" thing too.

    I thought the same with Super Fluffy Form as well, just too sweet for an already sweet triple. I hope they tone down the milk sugar ipa offerings a bit, seems unnecessary for their style but that might just be me.

    they are trying to compete with Electric brewing. Electric brewing is blowing up with these milk sugar IPAs, Henry wants to do it too.

    That anniversary beer they gave away at their party would have been a drain pour for me but I jedi mind-tricked my wife into believing it was good so she'd drink them instead of my west coast IPAs.

    In my experience, I visited Electric about 3 years ago prior to all of this recent hype. I found all of their IPA's to be extremely sweet and overbearing. Mouthfeel great, vegetal finish, and harsh bitterness. I went about 6 months ago, and the IPA's were still very sweet, although they have improved on the finish for me.

    Doesn't come close to Monkish for me. IMO.

    Experimental Space Cookie was almost as bad as Monk-Tiki. That one was definite miss for Monkish. Heard guided meditation was pretty bad as well. For Monkish being in business for 7 years they only had about 4 drain pour beers, Monk-Tiki, Nighthawkz, guided mediation & experimental space cookie, that's not a bad track record at all.

    I think you need to add Mango Space cookie in there too. If that's the right variant of space cookie I'm thinking of..me and my friend left our pours at the tap room half filled. Didn't even bother.

    I think this is Henry's OG drain pour though
