    If you were dissatisfied with the intensity of fruit flavor in FP2, I urge you to take note of the strawberries in this weekend's beer. To paraphrase Willy Wonka, "The strawberries taste like strawberries!"

    Their Cloudwater collabs have always been excellent. Oddly enough, I had a 4th Anniversary can on Friday and shared it with a couple of people who have never had Other Half before and it was universally praised as being the best beer / IPA they ever had.

    I'm also in agreement that it's easily one of my favorite OH beers, glad i still have a 4 pack left :slight_smile:

    Meh...Bud's Life was alright but I thought Tremendous Ideas tasted like generic hop milk. Never had Imaginary Greenscapes though.

    They actually did a collab with Crak late last year called Green Grape. It was a DIPA with wine must. Nearly certain it was only released in Europe... I had a couple on vacation in Paris and although they were ~7 weeks old and I was skeptical of the must, it was really solid.

    Telectroscopic = great euro collab
    And while I prefer the normal All Citra, the Cloudwater version was good

    If you are what you drink from why not just switch to a Collins glass?

    Light Therapy.... Good god man!

    I think I like it better than Snowbirds... it obviously has the similar 'mounds' bar quality to it, but the mouth feel is so insanely light and fluffy. Reminds me a lot of the first CBS I had ~4 years ago. If I were to guess, I would have said it was a 9ish% stout, not 13.5%. The toasted sesame adds another level of bready-complexity as well. Glad I grabbed more than one bottle, but wish I had stocked up even more. Phenomenal stuff

    +1 on the 4th ani. A few floaties but besides that it’s as good as ever.

    Add me to the “4th anniversary has developed beautifully” camp. Had a can over the weekend and enjoyed it more than I did when it first dropped. 3rd anni is still my favorite though

    Anyone know if they still have cans of Florida Plates 2 left? Also I will echo that 3rd and 4th Anni are drinking great now, I think I slightly prefer 4th just because its a little more complex than the straight tropical fruit juice of 3rd Anni.

    They had 40 cases of Florida Plates when they opened yesterday, I highly doubt they sold that much on a Monday. Not guaranteed, but I think there's a very good chance there will be cans available tonight/tomorrow.

    i'm all for 5 cans but does that mean they got rid of the mid week drop ?

    Doubt there is a mid week drop or double batch this week. Especially with the mobile release the following weekend they will have somewhat limited fridge space.

    Anyone remember what time Citra Daydream kicked last week? Trying to guage how long the single batches will last this week.

    Going to guess citra was done around 12:30-1:00pm. I went just after 1pm and missed it. But their Instagram update from ~11:30-11:45pm posted that they still had cans

    Tough to tell what the line will be like this weekend. DDH Mylar and Double Citra Daydream always seem to bring somewhat of a solid crowd. People are responding positivey to the idea of Strawberry beer too.

    Hoping I can roll in around 10:30 and grab a 4-pack of Mylar.

    I'm really interested in the Strawberry Cream beer, but I feel the beer will either be really good, or really bad.
