    I thought about ordering that Radiant anny pack, but $40 a 6pk would make it the highest price 6er I've ever bought and I like them, but not $40 a 6 like.

    I feel the same way especially since you only get one of each. It’s likely that I won’t care for a couple of them and will only have one of the ones I do like.

    Agreed about 6.50 plus a pop for a single from the pack. On another note, other half had a decent release during pre turkey day. Good stuff. Sorry I know its old and out of topic but had to include.

    Sure, $6.50 a can is in the higher end of things, but you're getting Monkish, Other Half, Wayfinder, North Park and Cellarmaker goodness. I've seen single cans of beer from those breweries going for higher than $6.50, in some cases much higher, so I don't think the price of the anniversary box is out of line.

    Does anyone here have more info on Radiant’s 5 year party weekend? Info on what’s going on each day starting that Friday. Will all the collabs be available on draft starting Friday. Thinking about stopping in that Friday on our drive back from Vegas.

    I tried Radiant's website (I don't really do the social media thing), and it's pretty useless. The event link just goes to a generic page with an unorganized blurb about all the stuff going on over the weekend, no schedule. The mixed pack page says those will be available Friday evening, so it would be a super strange move if all the collabs weren't on tap at that point.

    Ya I check the site also, nothing. I’ll probably end up calling them the next day or 2. Thx.

    Thanks for this. This is what I’m looking for. I don’t do social media but I thought I read this somewhere last week. Looks like we’ll be stopping in on our way back from Vegas on Friday. Good timing.

    It appears Green Cheek is no longer dating their cans. I haven't seen a date in a month or so across half a dozen releases. Weird

    Also would add the GC pizzas in Oside are excellent and the house fennel sausage delicious

    @RaulMondesi i was at BevMo Orange (Tustin and meats) last night and they still had a big stack of CBS. I took a pic but don’t know how to post it.

    I actually just recently found some at BevMo in Danta Point. Weird about Orange. I couldn’t find any and when I asked they told me that they didn’t have it. Either way, unlike BCBS, it’s still a really good beer. Cheers.

    You are correct on the can dates disappearing all of a sudden. I never pay attention to Cheeky’s cans because I buy them fresh from day 1 or 2 of release. I do check the cans if they’ve been sitting for a bit. But damn, come on Cheek, what happened? Must be an explanation. Why would you stop dating cans?

    5 years strong. Hats off to these guys with another fine brewery in OC. This collab with North Park is super tropical punch with a bit of dank drops to bring it back to reality. Lots of events throughout the weekend at Radiant.

    Why not
    This reminds me of OH back in the beginnings. Where it all started. This has fresh OH characters right in all over it. Juice bomb. Should have kept the other two cans. Damn.

    I nominate you to ask the question the next time you go to the brewery, you’re there pretty frequently, aren’t you?

    I was looking at Docent Brewing's website and noticed they say "Laguna Hills (coming soon) 23301 Avenida De La Carlota" which is where my favorite south Orange Co brewery just left-- GameCraft, which is now up north somewhere. The Orange County Register quoted the owner as saying “The best way to express it is we have been unable to turn a profit at the location.” So good luck to Docent, but they do make a lot of beers and some good ones too.
