    Yeah. Let’s get do it when Malcoms in town so we can really rub it in that he missed this freaking incredible TDH ACE. Holy shit this is good.

    As someone who has never formally done a meet up but lives so close to the OG location I'm preferable to that one however given the baby and other realities I won't be picky. I'm fully vaccinated and if the stars align I'd love to swing by if only for a short bit.

    Ok, I'm going to throw this out there, and please, slam me if this is a bad idea: I don't know about you, but I've got a pretty lengthy list of requests from my wife's first Mother's day (and I'm not complaining about that at all. I want to do everything possible to make it a magical day and I appreciate her being so clear about what she wants).

    With that said, is Father's day an option for us or am I starting off on the wrong foot as per family holidays and setting myself up to hear for the rest of my life how I'd rather get beer than be with my family (you know, the reason I am a father) on Father's day? Am I being dumb/shortsighted? The answer is very possibly "Yes."

    No this is absolutely reasonable, especially since you will be banished from the house this weekend from dawn till dusk, rain or shine.

    Get breakfast in bed / pampered in the morning, and then roll round to OH at opening for some “me” time.

    @afroskully i grovelled and @algebeeric_topology is hooking me up!

    Yeah... you’re a father. Hang with the little being that technically made you one. I’m really only saying that cause I’m out of town Father’s Day. :slight_smile:

    It was also a weirdly specific date thrown out.

    Maybe in a week or two I'll get a spreadsheet with some Friday/Saturday options as well as checking which is better as per Domino Park or Centre St.

    Well, if everyone's really ready to throw hygienic caution to the wind after more than a year of living with COVID, might I suggest "passing the 'tose'" around this way? I know at least @rozzom wouldn't have a problem with putting his face right in there for a hit.:grin:

    So my biggest complaint about ACE is that it's often too floral and lacks brightness. TRIPLE DRY HOPPED ACE improves on both those things. There's plenty of the big, bright juiciness that I would want in an extremely Citra beer. Sometimes I've preferred King Sue to ACE, but not this time. While I'm not hoping every beer becomes labeled as TDH, I'd love for this to be the new All Citra.

    Fathers Day itself probably wouldn't work for me. But, when the wife asks what I want for FD I can prob get away with saying an afternoon drinking beer with some people I don't know and politely passing on sampling raw lactose.

    Yeah the first time I told my wife I was going to drink some beers with some randos off the internet, I got a look similar to the one I’d expect if I said I was headed out to engage in some casual dogging

    Sat/Sun would be easier for me, but obviously whatever is easier for the group. I'd be open to either location!

    Came here to say the same! It's fantastic

    Edit: I do think it's lightly melony though

    Yeah it’s a little melony but loving it for that subtle sweetness. Straight fire as the hazebros would say.

    So ACE cans are sold out at Domino. Given the demand, you think they'd brew it more often. Hey guys how 'bout it?

    Full Court Press is the best Other Half beer I've had in a long time.
