Other Half (2020)

I liked the simcoe daydream but thought it was a little too creamy.

Denim Daredevil was my favorite of the past few weeks.

Small Galaxy Everything>>>>Purple Chroma by a wide margin IMO

 

Tuesday drop! Fresh batch of an OHB favorite DDH Double Mosaic Dream. For sale today 1/14 in the taproom.⁠⠀
------------⁠⠀
⁠⠀
DDH Double Mosaic Dream Imperial IPA (8.5%) Mosaic + Mosaic Cryo. All the Mosaic a beer can take. $20 per 4 pack, 1 case per person.

 

i still prefer Forever Simcoe over the daydream, it is more what I want, but the can of daydream I cracked last night was really good. I need to try ddh small galaxy, hopefully this weekend!

 

Looks like cans of Double Vanilla Crunchee are hitting shops today. What a time to be alive!

 

This one was really good though, my favorite one they've done of Crunchee series since the original.

 

spotted at hops hill yesterday... unsure how i feel about this... i guess as long as quality stays same or better, LOCAL distro is no problem? dont fuck up my trades though... lets keep these babies in NYC

_____________________________⁠⠀
⁠⠀
HDHC Ta-Dow Imperial IPA(9.1%) Citra, Citra Cryo, Motueka, Medusa, Cashmere and Galaxy. We don't get to use Medusa a lot but it's awesome and has a guava profile which plays well with the lychee/passion fruit/fruity pebbles profile of the other hops. Then we gave this some extra oomph by giving it the HDHC treatment with Citra Incognito. $22 per 4 pack, 1 case per person.

 

forgive me if this isnt allowed or i missed it, but has anyone heard rumblings about their anniversary party? I know its usually February just wondering if anyone has heard anything yet

 

Today i’m headed to the brewery with my wife. Out of the available cans/bottles to go what would y’all recommend? Double mosaic? Double vanilla crunchee?

How would you rate the idaho? A part of me wants to try the horus collab. Seems like it could be too much though.

Although some of their stouts are hitting home these days is what i’ve heard.

Most of the hoppy beers i’ve had from these guys i’ve loved. I especially enjoy the space beers. Crunchees sound intense. Really can’t imagine being a fan of cereal in beer. Obviously people have personal preferences though.

Perhaps the best bet is to do some samplers to try all that they have on offer. Especially as i imagine will be quiet on a wednesday afternoon. Nobody with a “real job” will be there. I work nights usually. Salud everyone.

 

This isn't confirmed but word on the street is that the 9th will be the Anniversary release I believe.

 

Sunday rather than Saturday?

 

If you like their Galaxy beers, try Purple Chroma. Yes sample before buying anything crazy like crunchee, 4 cans of that stuff is 3 too many to bring home imo.

DMD is a great beer if it is on point, anyone try it yet?

 

Whoops meant the 8th, I didn't actually look at the calendar.

 

yo! attention to detail my friend. learn from Billy MacFarland

 

For the mules: It’s totally the 9th, don’t believe any #fakenews instagrams you may see between now and then and stay away from 195 Centre

 

Thank God they will make a metric crap ton of the stuff for the locals to roll up at 1pm and get our 6th and grab 3rd, 4th, & 5th on tap.

 

Curious to see how much of a shitshow this year's anniversary release will be. I feel like it HAS to be less crazy than last year. Last year's was around the time where "linelyfe" was dying, but still somewhat of a thing (the EQ collab release the November before drew a decent-sized line, if I recall correctly), OH was starting to become known for making good pastry stouts, and there was a lot of hype surrounding "Bananaversarry" after Wakefest.

I'd love to say 5th Anniversary was the last hurrah for these types of insane lines, but I guess time will tell.

 

I'm sure they'll have something to draw people out, not to mention prior yr releases which are limited enough you'll probably have to show up prior to opening to get. But it's only gotten easier to show up late and get the anniversary IPA, so honestly who cares at this point in my book, unless there's anyone excited enough about some collab stout on this board to freeze at 7/8am.
