    Other Half has started distributing here to MN and landed last week with over 10 different beer varieties.

    Can someone do some OH to English translation for me? The dollar slice description today contains Vermont yeast. Does that mean more or less melon?

    I’m kinda surprised, but I really shouldn’t, that it’s going for $20 a 4-pack.

    Is that a joke?? What do you think it means - it means those democratic commie deep state pedos are reconvening back at Comet Ping Pong and only Donny can save us!

    I'm pretty sure the state of Vermont kicks you out if a brewery makes melon beer.

    Wasn't this melon thing originally in Green Power, which I think has VT yeast?

    so this is for training purposes? cause it doesn't seem like they're short on brewing capacity with the amount of beer piling up slowly at their BK location despite all the distribution/delivery that is happening

    don't let the simple truth get in the way of a good conspiracy theory!!

    I recently bought some citra and galaxy , stacks on stacks southern hemisphere and cream. one of them was brewed at young lion . they all were good!!

    I hope this info is helpful in furthering someone's agenda...

    per email not for training but to expand capacity until they open new facility.

    My hope is if they have beer "piling up "they lower their prices!!

    New beer alert!

    11 Pounders IPA (5.8%) Big things come in small mylar packages. This regular IPA version of Mylar Bags is still stuffed with enormous amounts of Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy, El Dorado and Amaillo. $16 per 4 pack.

    if they start distributing using a middleman that's essentially what they're doing. safe to assume they will sell to a distributor at a lower cost than retail. of course the customer will not necessarily see those savings when they buy from a store unless they compare it to the cost of buying from a mule and getting beer shipped or driving a long distance to pick it up from the brewery directly.

    Well, it’s come to this. I now just look for the finger lakes brews in Brooklyn. Quonset Hut is one of the better beers I’ve had from OH in a while. Maybe there is something to this conspiracy theory thing after all (pentagon logo, blue tab.... hmmmmm.....)

    I’m glad you said that, ‘cause when I had one the other day I was looking around like, “is it me, or is this beer delicious?”

    This is a great question. I was just recently up in the Adirondacks and experienced my first taste of indoor - well - anything. Today Pizza Moto sent out an email saying they are waiting until they can have 50% capacity before reopening. I walked by Za-Ya Ramen and they appear to be moving ahead based on signage indicating 8 people max. I hardly realized tomorrow is "the day" until just now.

    I would imagine the issue OH has is their entire space is full of stock but I do wonder what they are planning.

    Also, they would need to serve food by law now so they would need to really up that supply of doritos.

    A friend of mine told me that double fantasy was really hot when the box arrived, so I saved my 1 can for last. I thought it was one of the best of the box. It had a lot of that good shit Simcoe pineapple.

    Man I'm a commuter that only started going to OH in 2018 when they started doing midweek drops. I'm not OG enough to know what B1 Green Power tasted like.

    Is there a way to know which beers on the Brooklyn list were brewed at FLX (other than asking in person)?
