    On the bright side this should be a quieter release and an easy meet up Saturday?

    what’s our blind taste test theme this go round?

    excluding the banana beer, are people confident that they could tell apart the four different hoppy beers being released this Saturday in a blind test.......?

    That could be interesting, I was thinking we could potentially try an mmm fruit vs its mmm fruit dream variant if anyone had any left or if they were on tap.

    I thought we were each bringing our favorite philosophy book in lieu of a tasting test. Plus, hasn't @frozyn suffered enough? I'm ready to argue Bill Watterson is the preeminent postmodern philosopher and planned to carry The Indispensible Calvin and Hobbes in case I need to go to the text itself.

    If Lorenzo The Beer Cat or his owner are at the Hop Society thing, then can one of you who’s going kindly bite your thumb at them on my behalf?

    I am meeting a fellow BAer at the tap room for a trade on Sat afternoon as well, who is visiting from the Netherlands. I told him about our meet up and I think he is going to hang and have a beer with us as well

    Yes, for the love of god, please leave my taste buds out of it.

    I'll be bringing One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish by the esteemed Theodor Seuss Geisel for elevated discussion.

    No Thai banana vs Chiquita banana blind taste test?

    Smh, I’m disappointed in every last one of you.

    Out of recognition for our Hop Showers love, I move to rename our meetups, "Hop Society."

    Other Half in 2022
    *takes train to Gowanus for Hop Showers*

    "Oh sorry we're sold out. Maybe try Haymaker?"

    *take train to Midtown*

    "Sorry all out. Try the Williamsburg location"

    *takes Other Half branded ferry from Murray Hill to Williamsburg*

    "Ouch sorry, just sold out! Maybe try Rochester?"

    *catches private jet flight with some OH investors to Rochester*

    "Oh man we JUST sold out! Maybe try some random convenience store in Delaware, we dropped off 500 cases there last night"

    *run to the Other Half Headquarters building (formally Trump Tower) to complain. They're super chill still and give me a free can of HDHC Ultra More Citra Than More Citra Daydream Banana Graham Cracker Chocolate Cake Imperial Berliner Weisse for my troubles*

    *I cry*

    Haha, this is the experience.

    I'm still a little salty space diamonds sold out as quickly as it did this past weekend.
