    What can I look forward to finding on tap this weekend? Any chance of finding a non-IPA? Haha.

    Did this in December and had a blast. Started at Singlecut. Hit everything you mentioned as well as Beer Closet, Alewife and Dirck the Norseman in BK.

    Mosaic is the one I'd really like to try. Also looking forward to trying the Kolsch and saisons.

    I imagine. Not sure if you have had Yellow Rose from Texas but that opened my eyes to the majesty of single hop (all Mosaic) beer. Hoping OH's captivates me in the same way. Will make me trade for it regularly since the price will be better than Yellow Rose's.

    Agreed--this has been one of the things I've liked most about these single hop series IPAs that OH is putting out. Definitely helps you figure out your hope preference/style.
    And Yellow Rose is also solid, reminds me I need to trade for some soon.

    It was, agreed. Then there's La Cumbre's stuff, Sosus/King Sue, pretty much anything out of the PNW these days, etc. The moral of the story is that there's pretty excellent hoppy beer all over this land.
