According to their story, it'll be available tomorrow at balmoral on tap and to go.

 

wow I’m surprised. I feel like Half Acre usually has them in the can a bit longer prior to release

 

Just copped 4!!

 

I can already taste the anticipation!
Very nice they put it in 2pks with these 16oz cans - smart move.
Did anyone see the ABV?

 

Kept getting a problem with card error before finally getting through on my 3rd attempt.

Checked my account and while I've been charged 3 times, there were 2 instant credits.

 

Anyone know if they're good about allowing extra time for picking up an order? Like 10 days?

 

I was able to get a hold of someone on the phone at Balmoral and they assured me the order would be held for me, so I went ahead and ordered a couple 2 packs. Looking forward to this sequel.

 

They made an updated post on Instagram saying they'll hold orders for 2 weeks. Proxies allowed but make sure the name on the order matches the person picking it up.

Anyone know if Uptide is brewery only? I looked but didn't see an official statement. Untappd only lists brewery/taproom, so assuming so. Just curious. Also, anyone who's had it have any feedback on it? Sounds quite intriguing.

 

It was good. Not that 'experimental', in my opinion, but worth trying for sure.

 

I like Fader very much, so I'm sure I'll like this one. The description gave me the impression that it might come out with more of a tropical pale ale note, similar to Old Irving's IPLs using Omega's kveik yeast. Which I personally feel removes the lager yeast profile that I enjoy in IPLs. But your description confirms that I'm sure I'll enjoy Uptide. Thanks!

 

When I did them as a side by side, I didn't think Uptide was very similar to Fader. Uptide was much fruitier tasting with more perceived sweetness than Fader.

 

How on earth did On&On Pt II not sell out yet!?!?
