    Thread is taking a weird turn. I'm into it. Also, cool to see my @Kanger sour grapes joke recycled.

    Posting new beers is all well and good, but I think OH Rochester really needs to post pictures of their staff. We need to see how handsome they are to determine if they're worth getting hype over.

    Initial reviews seem real good but there are only 20

    I was wondering if it was because of how many cans are still available, which someone here noted. But maybe it could also be because of all the equipment change the past few days in Brooklyn. They have been moving in those new tanks and all that

    The time/$$/energy spent on refining Triple SD left AGE neglected. I can't get over how non-AGEy it is.

    just cracked my first Double Mosaic DD from the latest release and I'm somewhat underwhelmed...low carbonation, thin mouthfeel...just average for a beer that's normally thru the roof....

    Out in San Fran right now and having done double burrito day, Taqueria > Farolito (sorry @SpinSamzo ) though it doesn't really matter because both were fantastic and an upgrade from chipotle and dos toros (I did both this past Wednesday.) Their tortillas are fluffy, majestic, and delicious in ways ours are not. Is this how people feel about ny bagels and pizza vs their former locals?

    Also pliny the elder is worse than both west coast ipas OH has done recently. Pliny and Heady Topper are both overrated af (and Julius, but especially these two).

    Even with Alvarado St, Cellarmaker, Field work, SARA, and others, I think our locally available NEIPA crush these options.

    Agree, had one last night as well and it was not as good as I remember.
    Have we shifted from #hopshowersgang to #bringbackthedualhops ?

    The first half of your post had me thinking you’re a genius, especially the La Taqueria reference. The second half had me throwing my phone against the wall.

    Coincidently, I'm in LA and going to do a double taco day. Did you go to Tornado for Pliny and get a sausage from next door?

    It has to be. You don't even need to get that far out of the city before quality takes a nosedive. I moved an hour upstate and the bagels and pizza are fucking terrible. I've taken just buy bagels Friday afternoon during my lunch break and bring them back home. Day old midtown bagels kick the shit out of fresh Dutchess county bagels.

    I’m going to give @RobNewton the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully it’s just the homesickness and too much alcohol that caused such a #newmoney post


    I know it’s not “close” and I know i always plug this place, but Westwind Orchards (near Accord) has excellent pizza plus always has Suarez on tap to go alongside their own ciders

    Did not. Went to City Beer. Fundamental Observation on on tap!

    I always keep going back to "legacy" beers to pay me beer respect or whatever. I get a heady every other time it shows up in the city. I'll still swing through Alchemist if I'm in that area. This isnt the first time I've had Pliny; I get it every time I'm out here. The ratings for these beers are insane though.
