    Last batch of Florets was great. I remember getting a pour at As Is and it was just dynamite.

    Also just getting back from MA I really really like the ability to by per can. Id even be open to a slightly discounted 4 pack price over a per can price, if it gave me the ability to get just 2 or so cans of something I wanted to try but didnt want a full 4 pack of

    Kinda feels like they're ripping off Commonwealth's Instagram though...

    I agree that it's usually great, but Double Citra Daydream is part of Saturday and that alone will be enough to get me there after Sixpoint.

    Definitely underrated. Especially the Citra variant.

    You’re right! Maybe they can find something in between that isn’t just a white background.

    You're definitely onto something, but it's not technically because of social media that this narcissistic zombie beer culture has emerged. That'd be like blaming the gun for the homicide.

    No, human frailty pulled this trigger. Those tools exacerbate it, and their developers bear some of the blame, but the fault is not in them, our phones, or opportunistic breweries. It's in ourselves.

    Whole new dimension of thoughtfulness added to this thread to break up most of our inane, run of the mill posts. Malcolm really going need to lift his game here.

    This is A) Peak OH forum douchery or B) things I heard my college level TA say before I decided to switch majors or C) both

    I'm pretty sure that, as the author of the post, I was just trying to humbly highlight a perspective which I believe is under-expressed.

    You're entitled to an honest and full-throated rebuttal, but there's no need for the reflexive, ad hominem hostility. It's unconstructive, and more than a little ugly.

    Not sure what your standard of tête-à-tête must be if you think the straightforward fact that human nature is malleable is just douchy college speak.

    Damn college elites invading our OH thread. What's next, outright racism and misogyny being banned from the Beer Talk and Beer News & Release boards? Could you imagine?

    @Olmsted came out of the gates swinging with some of his initial posts. Coming into the OH thread and calling ACE overrated on one of your first posts is a hot take. That being said, he needs to get a couple bans under his belt before he can even think of taking away @rozzom's crown.

    Shitting on ACE. Making elite palate-confirming HS-esque posts. Drawing a line from beer buying to human frailty (and raising the blood pressure of an infrequent poster from MD - @Topease - in the process. Kudos on that one). The guy appears to be the complete package.

    But if you ain’t done time? Means nuthin son. Plus coming from the cycling world IMO this sort of performance isn’t sustainable. And if he can keep it up? Then you’d have to speculate that there’s some sort of doping in play. All good being the big dog, but we have no idea what injections of tose in the butt can do to the human body over the long run.
