Other Half (2020)

You might still be in luck they keep some stuff around for walk ups if you are going for something else.

 

Ended up not going, used my lunch break to pick up my GF and there was some nonsense traffic b/c they closed the upper level of the Verrazano so it just wasn't in the cards. Going to pick up some stuff next week

 

Went back through our 2019 thread and couldn't find any thoughts on the Sugar w/Coffee & Cream- anybody recall where it was on the Diabeetus Scale? Was the coffee very pronounced or more like a suggestion?

EDIT: or, did anyone splurge on a bottle of the BA version yesterday and drink it already?

 

Anyone try oh... Forever? Sometimes it can be really good and fly under the hype radar.

 

I had the original on draft and was not a fan..it was really sweet.

 

Not seeing HDHC Mylar on this new delivery list. Hoping they're not waiting all the way until end of the week since Friday I'm out of town.... Maybe it's a small batch? Guess we'll see...

 

I'm waiting for 4k Mylar Bags!

 

Everyone knows your taste buds can't taste anything over 2k. It's just a gimmick. (Also I have yet somehow to ever have mylar... Period... Well other than that weird clear batch... So I don't care HDHC/regular/DDH)

 

4k will come in a Spongebob mylar birthday balloon, it will be glorious!

 

Well that's Tuesday... So looks like we're both hoping for a July 4th miracle that it sneaks in by Monday evening!

 

We decided we are kicking off this holiday with HDHC week in @otherhalfroc and in BK we are releasing beers with our unique High Density Hop Charge process.⁠⠀
⠀
This hop process is a culmination of our research with our experimental series and our dry hopping process and evolved into our HDHC series. It involves 3 different hop products, T-90 pellets, Cyro, and Incognito hop extract. ⠀
⠀
Today we have two OH classics, HDHC Green City and HDHC ROC Showers, available now in the taproom via Curbside Pickup, link in bio. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
HDHC Green City India Pale Ale (7%) Our hazy East Coast IPA with loads of oats and hopped with Citra, Simcoe and Centennial gets the High Density Hop Charge treatment. Packed with a ridiculous amount of Citra flavor and aroma from our Citra Cryo and Incognito and perfectly balanced with our hand picked Simcoe, Simcoe Cryo and Centennial. Fruity, juicy, with a delicious creamy body and slight bitter finish. $20 per 4 pack.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
HDHC ROC Showers India Pale Ale (7.4%) The HDHC treatment strikes again. With over 3 lbs/bbl more hops than DDH Roc Showers but still smooth. $22 per 4 pack.

 

Ddh Roc Showers is $18, why are some HDHC +$2 and some +$4?

 

Had a chance to try the “more” strata and its a total flavor monster. Definitely liked the C/S and the all strata everything more, but this tastes great. Just real big... took over an hr to sip one.

 

Had my second can of Citra+Galaxy tonight, much improved; worthy of its noble place among the dual hops.

Anyone try the HDHC Green City?

 

had my first try of the CG last night and thought it was great... worthy for sure. Funny drinking laced in space and that one side by side. They do taste similar with the 2% less abv expectation.

also had the baby diamonds for the first time since the can art had that little baby emoji-like thing on it. It was my favorite of the night. Drinking all these DIPAs always requires a “pacer beer” and baby diamonds wins as the best < 6% I’ve had in a long time.

 

According to Geriz's IG, there will be 5 different HDHC beers released this week.

We know Green City and Roc Showers, and Mylar. I'm going to guess all Citra as well. Hopefully another new surprise as well...

 

FWIW, the DDH version of Fort Point was far superior to the HDHC version, HDHC version was way too grassy.

Ha ha, you are headed off into retirement land many years before I ever did. Metaphorically I may have a rocker and a porch, but you will have one for real, not that there is anything wrong with that.

 

Pale Ales are supposed to be grassy. I was looking forward to that flavor profile. It's enjoyable.
