Half Acre (2020)

Got a 12er of Daisy on Saturday from my local Meijer and it was canned 5 days prior. Well done!

 

What makes it even crazier is that HA has a testing lab and holds every batch of beer they make for 2 or 3 days before releasing it to distributors. That means it for from HA, to their distributor, into your fridge in 2 days.

 

Ordered one of the "we're still beer" fundraiser t-shirts, just wish there had been a 'tip option' before checking out with shipping. they look sharp.
cheers...

 

Picked up a keg of Navaja today. I know most probably dont have the ability to pour draft beer at home but if you do, this is one of the steals going on during these times. At $95 a keg this comes out to just over $2 a pint. Looking forward to tapping this one!

 

$95? Shit that’s a steal for most craft beer, much less an IIPA!

 

I’ve had my eye on this one over a week - I picked mine up a little over an hour before you.

 

I’ve been eyeing kegerators due to the local keg pricing and selections. Can’t pull the trigger on it yet, but have seen some great deals on kegs.

 

wow, and blood of the moon 1/6 barrel for $95? That’s even more incredible given the $20 price point for a 4 pack.

 

So your going to dome a keg of Navaja by yourself while everyone is isolating? Pretty impressive. How long will this take?

 

Not sure what "dome a keg" is? My kegs usually last roughly two months depending on how many visits from friends/family.

 

As in, you're going to drink that whole keg of 10% DIPA (TIPA?) by yourself.

 

As big a fan of Navaja as I am, that's a pretty impressive feat imo.

 

Do you offer growler fills and curbside pickup at your house?

 

No way I will have that much left over! Thanks for the compliments guys

 

I can speak as someone who’s had dipa, tipa, and ba stouts on kegerator at home. I feel it’s not as crazy as you think to finish a high abv 1/6 barrel in 4-6 weeks. When you have 8 “small” Navaja pours in a day, the keg can go quick

 

I tapped my Navaja keg after “work” tonight, and I’m already in for 3 pints.

 

Same here! This is downright amazing, tastes better than out of a can. I went through the first two pints in 30 minutes. Amazing to have this on tap.

 

That’s a great deal but I just can’t see myself drinking that much of one beer. It would be well past it’s prime by the time I killed it.

 

...chiming in from a distance after day 1 of "Saison Tasting" forum, to say that Dark Trail Mixed Culture Foeder Saison is just another stellar hybrid beer, just nuts. This bottle seems to be from 2018 (?) - SO hard to define, describe, but we loved it. Has that amazing combination of apple, pear, funk, acidity and bright straw and bread...Even my wife...who usually does not like beer all that much. The brett in there works some serious magic. Cheers, can only covet from a distance the Navaja in a keg y'all are enjoying...

 

Beer of the weekend (or the month so far) for me. Cheers from the Front Range!
