Other Half (2019)

It is a skill to be able to discern between the oracles and the jesters.

 

while I recognize you as the old school ACE supporter to the death, I will say that the hdhc dual hop was the can winner of the weekend. Did you get some? I have a feeling you wouldn’t disapprove.

 

I did, it’s good, was hoping it would be great.

 

Drinking BA Double Drupe and watching Muppet's Christmas Carol. Both are great. Drupe has that fudge brownie taste that I love and a more pronounced BA character than the BA Snowbirds VIP had. Meanwhile, Kermit really sells it as Bob Cratchit.

 

@jrnyc I'm not staking the position that single hopped Citra or even single hopped Mosaic are somehow lesser than their lovechild we recently received. It's a different animal, and I know quite a few others on the board here experience the same yearning I do for those dual hops of yore, back when DDH was both rare and exciting. In fact, these dual hops come along quite infrequently compared to the singles, which may also lay bare the brewers' preferences.

I loved this batch though, and hope we see some more of them next year than we did this year.

 

no worries ended up in line on Sat AM, they had some Drupe left but it was gone before I got to buy anything, but thanks to @Feaor for a sweet swap, looking forward to cracking the Drupe soon!

I think I'm most excited for Green Diamonds to be back!

 

I'll make a map to indicate stroller parking.

Triple Mylar sounds dangerous, perfect for the holidays!

 

There's a broken image link under growlers in the post.

 

I'm surprised it took this long for the stroller talk to make its way here.

 

we still need to remove McDonald’s from the food rec section

 

That first batch of Cream on the Inside Green on the Outside was fantastic. Looking like a really damn good lineup this week.

 

Folks we're close

 

Only 10-11 pages in the first half of the month. All you gentlemen will have to raise your game a bit the last half to make 189. Or just hope that FLO has a lot to say.
