    @rozzom was so mean to me last time that I had to get this up early. Please, carry about your Mondays as you usually would.

    Slow start to October. But quite likely that's due to the ongoing, very problematic issue of irresponsibly-titled threads.

    I had some witty comments to apply to one of your bike related posts in September, but unfortunately September ended and I missed the chance :slight_smile:.

    I bought a 4 pack of DDH Mylar Bags this past Friday. On my bus ride home, I noticed that one of the cans leaked and my entire bag smelled like dank hops. The beer still tasted pretty good despite being somewhat lukewarm. How was everyone else's weekend?

    I was quite happy finding "I like beer" underneath BKOK cans.

    That happened to once with DDH Double Mosaic Daydream. In my backpack. I couldn’t determine if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

    Anybody know what was stamped on the bottom of the last Hop Showers with Motueka? The stamps were all smuged on my cans.

    interesting that they went with Tahitian vanilla beans. I feel like they have a noticeably different taste than the normal Madagascar. not a bad taste mind you - just a different one that can be a bit more sweeter/almost tropical like. IMO i think it would be solid in a "smoothie" IPA.


    not sure of current market and how long ago those stouts were brewed, but i know at the beginning of the year Tahitian was much cheaper than Madagascar

    Maybe it’s just me and maybe it’s just a psychological thing, but I would love it if OH would develop a regularly-rotating APA that’s designed to be a lower ABV pale ale that stands out in its own right, rather than these “small” versions of existing DIPAs

    This is the best Saturday lineup I’ve seen this year. I may need all of that.

    I thought I missed OK BK because they had “a couple of cases” left at opening yesterday. Thought it would’ve been long gone.

    Just want to say I made it by for the first time on Saturday. I was blown away by how friendly this place was. Everyone including the guy checking IDs, the people helping with pours/cans, the people I accidentally bumped into - they were all super nice. I really appreciated that, especially because the trains were messed up so I was even more pressed for time than I expected. The lady filling my order basically insisted I get the collab which I wasn't hyped on but I'm glad she did. It's my favorite can I've cracked so far. I also appreciated her helping me picks cans and then fitting them into my barely-sufficient backpack. So much so I felt compelled to pay it forward and gave her cash to buy a couple people of her choosing a beer. It is not often these days I find a spot that makes me want to do that, let alone on the first trip. Keep up the good work OH and stay classy OH fans (no sarcasm).
