    Also, I'm not sure if this has already been addressed previously, but why is NYC not going as crazy over singlecut IPAs as they are about OH. Bon Bon is possibly better than everything at OH. Also no shuggie soulbender, laughter, full stack, are all on the same level as OH I believe

    Singlecut needs to bottle date - that's my initial opinion. Good stuff when you can find it fresh.

    None yet just wishful thinking.

    Their packaging and pricing doesn't make me run out to my local store whenever I hear fresh bottles are hitting the city. That said, every beer I've had from them has been good to great with the exception of one or two. If I'm out at the bar and there's something from Singlecut on tap I'll usually give it a try if I haven't had it before. Full Stack and Bon Bon are both on the same level as OH IMO. Too bad they hit a snag with putting out cans, that could've been a game changer.

    Oh, and it looks like Singlecut is going to start dating their bottles. Cool. /derail

    Came here to say this. They should have canned or switched to 12oz bottles and offered a more affordable price point

    Not sure if this has been said yet but when I was at OH this weekend the bartender told me that there would be a can release this weekend.

    it seemed like they'd been alternating between Thursday releases and Saturday releases for a bit, hope they get back to that with this one as my recent out-of-town-every-other-weekend schedule unfortunately has been coinciding with their weekend releases.

    and based on what I picked up reading through this thread...the cans will sell out same day? Would be a bummer, as I land in NYC Sunday at 3 and plan to head straight to OH. Chances anything will still be available?

    I think Mosaic is my new favorite beer, I had it last time OH canned it and thought it was unbelievable, but this time I just thought to myself , is there anyway I could get a keg of this for my house so I could drink it everyday.

    Depends on what cans are released. I'd say unlikely though unfortunately

    For the last can release 30 cases of Hop Showers made it to the next day, so you never know.

    I believe AGE and GD are up for this week-end, but don't quote me on that just yet.

    I'm quoting you anyway:stuck_out_tongue:
    would love to see more AGE & GD canned, as they are my favorite beers from OH, and I have a buddy coming over sunday, would love to give him a few cans to take back upstate

    Heresey! Ha, ha.

    Funny thing is that GD is pretty damn big also. Both of these beers don't feel as big as they are.
