Half Acre (2021)

Does anyone know for these limited release pickups (Lincoln specifically) do you have to park or you can just roll by on Lincoln and they'll be outside?

 

I always park then message them with my order/s, they set your order on a table within a few min and you grab it from there from my last couple of experiences but it was much warmer then not sure how the cold has affected their curbside pickup.

 

I know better and I still forgot and ended up typing everything in. Messed up twice and figured there was a 0% chance I’d get the beer. Third time I got it right and was shocked to see I got the beer.

 

Boy I had a feeling Half Acre was really gonna catch hell from all the entitled beer nerds out there. Doubly so.

 

Not feeling Hallow. It's like a hazy west coast ipa so why do that? HA's full bodied IPAs are great,you can definitely taste their budget ones falling short.

 

Anyone crack a DB catch hell yet? Interested to see what people think of it compared to last years original

 

Haha hopefully two cans/pp deterred most of the shitlords. I’m eager to see how it compares though

 

Hazy west coast sounds awesome. I’m over the Chicago sweet haze craze.

 

@Jinx989 ? Inquiring minds want to know...

 

I didnt crack one ended up drinking my last can of Dovetail Kolschbock and then had an Arclight Blackrazz.

 

I had it last night. Best Half Acre beer I've ever had. It's better than Xtra Dubl Benthic. It's crazy thick. I got that hit of cinnamon and vanilla on the first sip. Then it was mostly dark fruits and bourbon brownie batter. Amazing stuff.

 

Yeah had one last night after Hallow (which I also really liked but it's also my dog's name, which was one of the reasons why I really wanted to grab some yesterday. I digress.) It's up there on the thicccness charts with TG, More, and Bottle Logic barrel aged stouts. Smells incredible. I really liked the cinnamon/vanilla combo. Didn't get to try last year's Catch Hell so I don't have a reference but I really enjoyed it. It doesn't taste like 15% but you sure feel it afterwards. I just kinda wish they didn't put in the adjuncts but that's a personal preference for extended aged stouts.

 

I cracked a Double Barrel Catch Hell on Friday. The beer is thick as oil - it's just at the edge where it's a good mouthfeel and not too much. I got a ton of barrel, a touch of vanilla and basically no cinnamon at all, even as it warmed up. I would have preferred more of the adjuncts to come through, but that's just personal preference. This beer is in the same family as XTRA DUBL Benthic, but I preferred XTRA DUBL. The coconut shone through in that one, and I'm a sucker for coconut in BA stouts. All in all, a great beer, but not sure I'd pay nearly $25 for another can.

 

Me too. I don't know why businesses even bother engaging with people on Twitter any more. Internet anonymity brings out the worst in people, and Twitter is basically a distillation of the worst dregs of society. It actually should not be surprising that someone is blaming the brewery for not being able to enter their own zip code correctly. If you're going to engage, engage them on their level.

 

Now I’m bummed I didn’t get any. May have to try and acquire some in a trade somehow. I absolutely loved xtra dubl

 

Red Raspberry Loam is great. Jammy as all get out, but not overly sour.

 

Can you give some examples of what beer this is similar too? Wild/Sours vary so much. I want to buy a bottle but need more deets.

 

Afterthought Raspberry, Allagash I Believe in Love, or a less sour version of Goose Island Lolita
