Other Half (2019)

If we do end up doing it 8/16 I wouldn't get there until 730ish, unless I can slide out of work a little early that day

 

8/16 I am out of town on vacation. Can do the 10th. Don’t let me hold up the proceedings.

 

Nah man I’m down for the 10th. Just wondering. @prettygood you were a No for the 10th. That still the case? And @afroskully you were a maybe. What’s deal there?

 

I'm still a maybe for 8/10. Game time decision for me that day.

 

Yeah, still can't make it this weekend, but no worries if I can't make it.

 

@afroskully @RobNewton @Feaor @FlamingMoe @frozyn @jrnyc @SpinSamzo @BLazarus22 @midegrou @prettygood @Tallerboy @dhaakon @crowlcrowlcrowl @stevebrownsteve @fdonnelly @Xeal @ChairfaceChippendale @SeanEDPBK @Max_W and anyone else who's never/yet to sign up:

Right now, either way it looks like we'll be missing one or two people who've made the effort to attend the first two. So I extended out the dates to late Sept in the hopes of finding somethinf that works for all. Can people update/add their availability? Please fill out today/tomorrow then we can pick something by Wednesday. Hopefully there's a day after Labor Day that works for everyone. If not then we'll have to make the hard choices.....

Man what's up with all these Triple IPAs and 'Tose?

 

Tose brings all the beard to the yard...

 

I will be sure to hang on to a can of Double Citra and Double Galaxy if we push to Sept I think they were both canned in July!

 

Noble and magnanimous effort on your part, going to be very difficult if not impossible to get a date everyone is able to make.

 

I had some elders this weekend with family who doesn't take beer seriously and had no idea who Russian River was. They don't even like IPAs but the general consensus was this was a tasty easy drinking beer. We had multiple rounds. Congrats on having beer more bold in flavor, I remember when I realized og Dirtwolf smashed elder.

There's thousands of overrated beers. Keep your eyes open and keep us updated.

 

A few more, from the keg email:

DDH Double Simcoe Daydream ️️Imperial Oat Cream IPA(8.5%) our hand selected, super pineapple forward Simcoe with the creamy oats and lactose treatment. Double dry hopped with Simcoe Cryo. $225

DDH Ain't Nothing Nice IPA(6.2%) brewed with a combo of pils and Maris Otter malts and hopped with Simcoe, Galaxy, Mosaic and Mosaic Cryo. $200

 

Sweet! I know not main people agree with me but I love ain’t nothing. Such a good beer for August

 

Aint Nothing is a great beer. On par with Green Power for me.

 

Don't get me wrong, ACE is a good beer. A very good beer. And taste being nothing if not subjective, I wouldn't quibble with anyone else's characterization of it as a great one.

It's just that I personally have liked several others more. Relative to its popularity on this thread, I was underwhelmed. My expectations certainly worked against it, as did my lukewarm feelings towards Citra hops, which have generally struck me as one-dimensional.

Taking all this into account, I might well be enthralled the next time I try it. On fairer terms, that is.

 

If I end up going out this weekend, I'm definitely picking up that plus the the West Coast IPA and more Crispy Waves.

 

You are a true New Yorker twisting my words.. can your average beer drinking friends and family enjoy more then 2 or 3 OH WC IPAS.
