    It is. And when you consider the cost of hops it's why I don't balk at the rising price tag.

    Keg list. Not sure if the 2 x crunchee at the end is intentional or not. If so sounds like there’s two versions - one with marshmallows:

    Green City (7% ABV) IPA with oats, hopped w/ Simcoe, Citra and centennial. $175

    Forever Ever Session IPA (4.7% ABV) Apollo, Azacca, Citra, Jarrylo + mosaic. $150

    DDH Nelson Daydream Oat Cream IPA(6.5%) our 100% hand selected Nelson Sauvin hops from our buds Freestyle hops paired up with a ton of oats and a hint of lactose. This batch is double dry hopped for even more awesomeness. $200

    DDH Space Daydream Imperial Oat Cream IPA(8.5%)
    galaxy + oats + lactose = awesome. $225

    HDHC More Citra Than All Citra Imperial IPA(10.5%)
    the most Citra we do in one place. We are going for the biggest baddest aromatics we can and it represents around 15 lbs/bbl but with our combo of hop products its as smooth as ever. $250

    Available after New Years Day

    DDH Small Galaxy Everything IPA(6.5%)kind of hard to believe we've never made a Galaxy version of this beer. Problem corrected. $200

    Quiet Cosmos Imperial IPA (8%)Continuing our spaced out Galaxy hopped themed beers this time with the addition of hand picked Comet hops. $225

    Daydreamless Imperial IPA (8%) No need to daydream, this beer is a reality. With big ripe notes of lychee, blueberry and tropical punch/fruity pebbles from the combo of Citra, Cashmere, Mosaic and Amarillo.⠀$225

    Double Vanilla Boysenberry Crunchee Granola Berliner Weisse(7.4%) with Boysenberries, Double Vanilla, Toasted Coconut, Maple, Cinnamon, Almonds and Milk Sugar. This next iteration of the crunchee series invokes the feeling of eating a vanilla boysenberry parfait. $225


    Double Vanilla Boysenberry Crunchee Granola Berliner Weisse(7.4%) w/ Marshmallow with Boysenberries, Double Vanilla, Toasted Coconut, Maple, Cinnamon, Almonds, MARSHMALLOW and Milk Sugar. Parfaits now with marshmallows!!! $225

    I'm glad the comet is hand picked because it's otherwise an underwhelming hop.

    edit: I too am excited for that beer though

    Idea for a 2020 beer- All Hand Picked Everything.

    The hops and malt are all hand-picked so you know they’re good. And even the water can be hand-cupped. It will be the most hand-picked, and therefore the best, beer of the year.

    I'm an eternal optimist who's willing to believe almost anything can be possible. But not this. Not even close.:slight_smile:

    I dont find that to be as outrageous as the hand- picked craze.

    After a HBO collab, this is more realistic than most things.

    I agree that's a wee bit precious, but since I know how excited brewers are to select hops—and the real difference that can make in the final product given crop variability—I can easily overlook it.

    But c'mon, there's no way that putrid and unbalanced mix of clashing flavors (the trademark of all Crunchee beers) even remotely mimics the experience of eating a nice, smooth parfait.:slight_smile:

    Found this interesting... the 189 Visa allows New Zealand citizens to work in Australia. Since galaxy hops have been scientifically proven to be the greatest, it’s fitting that we’re all shooting for 189 here.

    I really hope the "vanilla variant" thing doesn't become a norm. I hate that Evil Twin does that...unless they want to do mixed 4 pack cans (2 regular/2 variant) it just seems unnecessary and can just be a draft only deal. With how many varietals they brewed this past year I don't think it necessary to get more options out there.

    I dunno. The granola flavor they get is awesome. If the fruit flavor comes through and the body is smooth enough, I can see it!

    Almost there too!

    You can have my full allotment. Provided you drink every single one of them yourself and then let us know what you think afterwards.:slight_smile:
