    Nothing like being on a bus with a guy with a hospital band around his wrist with a wet cut cigarette in his mouth wearing an inside out polo shirt

    Anyway, I'll be there in 10

    They must have finally gotten through the Teku dorks.

    Why's it so slow today? The only difference are the taters tekus and they've moved faster on other teku release days

    This batch of galaxy is excellent. This is the best single hop they've put out in a long while.

    The single hops are underrated, I thought Enigma and Riwaka were both great.

    Still, DDH Space Diamonds is my favorite OH DIPA and I can't wait for DDH Galaxy.

    Anyone update with a what's on tap, thinking of driving over for some fills and pours

    Agreed on both points. Polished off a growler of DDH space diamonds last night with my bro in law. Is there another beer that tastes this much like Grapefruit juice?

    Any chance Galaxy beers will be left around 330?

    DDH Forever Simcoe tasted just like grapefruit juice to me

    Waited in line for about 15 minutes and got the 2 Galaxy beers. Not mad at all. Broccoli and Mylar will be back again.

    Anyone try Enigma+Galaxy yet?

    Wondering how the backend of the Galaxy is? I find the backend/after taste of Space Diamonds is far too harsh/dry. Wondering if the non-imperial version is smoother and has less of that harshness.

    About a half dozen cases of each Galaxy left right now. No line. Tasting room is jammed though

    ddh space diamonds might be my fave beer. ddh galaxy is tasting pretty similar.

    went to the mikkeller run club at strong rope at 11:15 and rode my bike over at 1pm to grab a 4 pack of enigma/galaxy and 2 four packs of ddh galaxy. #locallife

    if people really dont want to wait in line. maybe just join an OH facebook group and have someone mule for you. it might be +$10 a 4 pack but thats just the way the scene is these days. people arent drinking all this beer themselves, theyre reserving slots for the 4 packs and making $5-10 a pop on each one. its kind of ridiculous but im not going to fight it anymore. maybe OH should sponsor some of the most dedicated mules and hand out their contact details to people who miss out on each release.

    lol thats obviously not happening. you know i'm a big advocate for that. OH has changed man, they're now matthew mcconaughey in dazed and confused. and the high school girls are the beer trade/resell crowd.

    I didn't realize it was DDH. Strange for OH to miss a branding opportunity to put DDH on these Galaxy cans.

    edit: oh I see it's stamped on the bottom. Wonder if someone screwed up the label.

    E+G might be better than ddh galaxy for me. great showcase of the hops and the fruitiness of galaxy is cut by some of the grassiness of enigma. great combo.

    E+G has a really potent weed smell, more than any beer I've ever had. Even tastes like weed. I feel like I'm getting ripped drinking this.
