Other Half (2019)

Give thanks ************s. WILD THAI BANANA.

 

I'm trying to figure out if all of that text is the beer name or just some of it. Probably all of it.

 

Happy thanksgiving all. Was annoyed I missed vapor, but the verdant collab is awesome, and grudgingly I’ll admit purple chroma is v good too

congrats to ET and OH for pushing the boundaries of true innovation

 

That stout actually sounds pretty lit, too bad it probably won't be on draft ever.

 

Thai banana, freeze dried banana, banana chips, banana puree but no fried banana? Pass, it won't even taste like banana.

 

Verdant collab is great wish it wasn’t sold out yesterday. Is double purple that good. I’ve been underwhelmed by the ones I had and it wasnt on tap so I passed

 

The last Green Chroma I had was great, the mouthfeel was way closer to standard OH than the first few versions I had. I wouldn’t be shocked if they’ve started to get that series dialed in.

 

I really liked double red chroma. It's no ACE, but comes pretty close.

 

A lot of beer post thanksgiving review:

bird cage good.
Verdant collab great.
Grimm geodesic dome too tart but good.
Vapor ringz and hop showers w Medusa a level above verdant.
HDHC ACE just as good as reg ACE but $2 more expensive.

frozen raspberry swirl crunchee was gross. My brother in law took two sips and said it was like making out with a teenage girl’s lip gloss and his mouth tasted like the inside of Forever 21.

 

Just explained to my family what a 'pastry stout' is. Many concerned looks.

 

9/5/2019 DDH Mylar still tasting great!

 

Can you write out what you explained to them.

 

I said its like a thick, usually heavy ABI stout brewed with a lot of adjuncts such as peanut butter, coconut, cinnamon, various nuts, lactose, but also donuts, candy bars, marshmallows, waffles, etc. In order to imitate an actual dessert or pastry, and my dad says he used to drink genese cream ale and when he and his friends wanted to get fancy they'd drink yuengling

 

Lol

 

I rather drink a yuengling black and tan vs Willy Wonka OH stuff and spend the savings on a burger.

 

I got all the Sunset stouts, I assumed that the waxed dipped bottle was Barrel-Aged. But nope, it's the Gesha....

Having said that, I walked into Top Hops on a whim today at about 1pm as it was near my barber, and they had plenty of 2-year reserve BCBS...couldn't resist a bottle.

 

Crickets w/ saaz coming out today, apparently they're "very low on our IPA stock."

Really?? Maybe cause it all went to Chi town....

 

Vapor rings and verdant collab cans at the taproom fyi
