    So what's everyone's thoughts on yesterdays new beers? I had the DDH Double Citra Daydream on tap and it is instantly one of my favorites- it lives up the expectations set my the mosaic version IMO. How about the collabs?

    Highballers is like an amped up version of City Slickers, I thought it was very good although I doubt I could drink a ton of it. I still like City Slickers more though, that beer is phenomenal, probably my favorite single IPA.

    Dare I Say... is a pretty standard DIPA, its got a bit more bitterness to it than typical Other Half DIPAs so its something a little different, its not my favorite though.

    I have friends coming to visit this weekend and they are dying to go to Other Half. We'll probably get there around 11am Saturday. Based on the current lineup for this weekend, how crazy will the brewery be and what cans are likely to last that long? I know they would love to get some cans.

    yeah it's similar to something but I don't have a good enough beer memory to place it. It may be similar to Oh... but I'm not sure.

    If the keg list is any indication it seems like we'll get something midweek. I'd hope for DDH Oh... since that beer was great and was also a midweek release.

    If it ends up being the cans described above, very likely. None look like clear winners, so there's a good chance there's a bit of everything (except maybe Zamboni, but centennial? meh).


    I still can't believe DDH Double Mosaic Daydream lasted past the rush last weekend!

    AGE is being updated with “fruitier yeast strains”. I’m sure it will taste great but it’s a bit sad that they’ve changed AGE likely as a result of the west coast ipa flavor profile not being en vogue anymore. Hoping this is just something they’re doing for the DDH version

    A rare week of no fomo. I'd be happy with something other than small green for midweek but that seems unlikely.

    Darn was kinda hoping for midweek DDH Oh... but oh well. DDH All Green Everything sounds interesting but I probably only would want a pour, a 4 pack of AGE is too much for me now.
