    Awesome man thank you. Yeah will take you up on that - rarely get to make it down there but love the stuff I’ve had. And it’s all good. I’m getting pampered by my wife (she grabbed me an abraxas from the store) and I still came 3rd - so won a pair of ON running shoes

    Apparently Rochester has BA Smokescreens and Oil Slicks on tap and I've never felt more hated in my life

    Trying HDHC All Green now and it's really good. This is about to be the most pretentious beer review since @Jason called out Hop Hands for being turbid, but here we go.

    The smell brings me back to first discovering OH/other hop bombs and how much aroma they brought. There's a lot of citrus with some pine on the nose and a bit of that old dankness. It's a really nice, nostalgic feeling, bringing me back to a place where I just wanted to smell the beers for hours. The booze is definitely there, but I'm glad to have picked it up. I'm also with @Comparison_Ford in wanting to try an 8.5% version of this.

    Im all for the Newton Hot Take™️ being the next big thing.

    I didn't make it to OH this weekend, but the last batch of Triple Space was absurd. Also the last DDH Space was just as absurd, but I feel like this batch is not as great as that one, but still really good.

    @rozzom hope that heads alright, seems like the #supermodelwife has gotten you taken care of!

    Ha, too late. I used to be good about trying all the beers then offering thoughts the day they dropped, but I couldn't keep up with that lifestyle. Plus everything is generally so good now anyways it doesn't matter :slight_smile:

    Statistically speaking, this means we will see bottles next week.

    Unless our palates are perfectly aligned, and they aren't, my subjective opinion won't mean very much to either of you, but I think it's terrific.

    It's a somewhat antiquated notion these days in rarefied beer circles like this one, but if you can appreciate the taste and texture that malts bring to an IPA as a coequal player rather than a perpetual subordinate, brews like this will strike a chord.

    And if they last for weeks at the brewery, it's not a joke so much as it is all the better. We've never had it this good.

    Got around to trying the I Have Fillings For You collab with Mortalis. Decently executed in a style similar to the Cobbler Jams from a few weeks ago. Cobbler Jams was better to my palate but this is worth checking out if you are into grape. Off topic but I also tried the Hyrda that Mortalis was doing crowlers of yesterday and that is a world class sour imo.

    I stand by my reviews ... always. Hop Hands would rank a lot less if it wasn't for a lot of the initial hyped up ratings / reviews from people that put their lawn chairs out to save their spot in line to get this beer and others. ;-)

    We can be annoyed with pricing here but Toppling Goliath is releasing 12 oz bottles of KBBS for $100
