    So I am in the process of drinking the 3rd of my 4 cans of All Galaxy Everything....the first two were awful rotten melon messes. The third is decidedly better, like not even the same beer different. I don't understand how this happens but experiences like this make me not want to take the chance in the future. Weird experience with this 4 pk.

    I had that experience with the HDHC Hop Showers they did over the summer. I gave my buddy one but of my three cans two were awful and one was great.

    I can't say I won't be disappointed if Total Straw Collapse isn't a pretty, pale yellow.

    Admittedly I don't drink a lot of milkshake ipas. Call me a purist in the ways I want my hazies to taste like total juice bombs, whatever.

    Total straw collapse delivers on the banana. It's sweet but there's a little bitterness on the finish so it isn't totally cloying (these beers are all so sweet though, it's unclear if I have a sense of what cloying really is anymore). It's fun. I don't regret buying one even if I'm not sure if I'll finish the can. A 4pk would be tricky.

    Red ale in a bottle? Did the aluminum can shortage hit Other Half?

    The Domino Park spot is real damn nice. Will definitely be doing the Mekelburg's-OH combo a few times this summer.

    Agreed! Also, I would suggest everyone go just for a pour of the Four Roses BA Snowbirds 3. Delicious!

    I'm guessing three boxes. One with cans, the 2021 PT beers, and BA 2020 PT beers. Another with the Cookie Kooks beers. Lastly, that mint stout, which sounds interesting.

    I wonder what the pricing will be like.

    The boxes are beautiful and I've been waiting for a mint stout aka thin mints in a bottle, as opposed to the box because I ate that already. Perennial 17 doesn't quite do it for me and I can imagine mint is tricky to work with.
