    Just found a 4th Anniversary can hiding in the back of my fridge. Has anyone had one recently? Not sure what to expect at this point...

    I still have a can of 2nd Anniversary from this year’s release that I’ve decided I’m never gonna drink.

    Its still probably ok, I'd drink it now and report back. I had 14 month old 3rd Anni and it was a mess so I wouldn't wait too much longer.

    I don't have any more 4th Anniversary but I can say Please Saber this Can is tasting particularly terrible right now.

    More and more I'm finding the trick to OH is avoid the likely misses.

    Edit: And I say that as someone who bought a bunch of Grape Conversate and Topical Depression.

    Yeah at this point it's fairly easy to figure out what will be mediocre.

    I'm finishing my last can of Green City and while it's still tasting really good, it never hit that 4th anniversary level I was hoping for.

    I think they've actually been pouring cans in the tasting room and would encourage anybody in the area to try it!

    As someone who loves DDH Broccoli - Triple Broccoli is a bit of a mess. Really hoping it gets better with a few weeks.

    Not great. Very malty and boozy, with only a slight hint of that wonderful 4th Anni taste that changed all our lives.

    I'm sure it's gonna happen, but I really hope they brew it again next year.

    Nice job by whoever deleted my posts and the responses. It was in good fun and represented the camraderie of the people on this thread. 98% of posts on this site are rehashed posts and some form of silliness, most of them should be deleted if the standards applied to my post were applied across the board. I guess BA looking to lose more hardcore supporters. What a joke. Carry on here fellas, no fun allowed.

    BTW, mods, I have been called #hazegramps on this thread, the fun around it was great. Yet I come back with some more retailatory fun and the creativity and fun in my post gets deleted. 8 years for me on this site, might be time to say goodbye. These OH threads are all about fun, stop the excessive moderation!

    Haha I was gonna ask if anyone else saw a post with "Hazy the Haze Pecker" or if I just dreamed that.

    Post in the premium member forums to get some attention and potentially start a conversation.

    I think none of us want BA to descend into the madness that is instagram comments or facebook group chat, but things do feel heavy handed at times.

    Could also be a combination of mods + anally retentive users reporting posts. Figure similar thing probably happened when Rob put 3030 in the title of the OH thread this month and it got taken down very quickly.

    Edit - you have no idea how long it took to type this with my pecker
