    Best collabs for me were Like Whoa and No Layups. Raining Threes a close third.

    I actually didn't care for All Dank Everything at all. I got huge tea notes and generic sweetness off of that one. Ended up only drinking two cans and trading the rest away.

    Haven't had Tremendous Ideas (growler in waiting for a share this weekend) but I loved Greenscapes, and the first batch of City Slickers is like a legendary underdog in my mind.

    Double dribble and raining threes were fantastic. However my beers of the year were non collabs, dream/daydream series along with ddh broccoli and ddh mb, guess where I'll be this Saturday...

    Good to see a lot of different tastes in the group. Not a huge fan of City Slickers. Also, no love for DDH Powdered Cheese? I thought the Potatoes were a let down would have preferred a Like Whoa 2.0.

    Daydream is my beer of the year from them as well. 3rd Anniversary was also amazing.

    ADE was definitely weird.


    I was a big fan of Oat Overdose and Make It Rain.

    I loved Oat Overdose. That's my favorite one by a mile, granted I've probably only had a handful of the collabs. The color, feel and taste were all off-the-charts to me.

    I know I'll get killed for this, but I thought Like Whoa was good but nothing special. If I was being harsh, I'd actually use the words let down.

    I still think the first Trillium collab is the best single IPA Other Half has ever released. Definitely not Trillium's best IPA, though.

    (That said, I don't think any collabs are better than Mylar Bags. Hoping they have it on tap through the weekend.)

    Most of the collaborations revolving around IPA’s are predominantly influenced by OH, not necessarily better than the individual counterpart(s), and start to blend together. Granted, this is typically the case across the board. Nonetheless, at a temperate abv Real Talk stood out, and one of the more complex IPA’s OH has shoveled-out; Kent Falls taking the lead here

    I replied earlier when I was still half asleep. YES TO REAL TALK.

    I'm still upset I didn't buy a full case of that (I've never bought full case of anything before)

    If they released that in the summer it would of been perfect.

    I filled many 64 oz growlers of that beer.
