    Saw a couple OH cans available in Boston...does anyone know if distro is going to be a more common thing? A 4 pack was 26 fucking bucks so I politely declined

    They've been distributing a while now in CT NJ NY (state) and PA. A lot of the stuff is from DC. The stamp on the bottom of the can will give a date and a location though. BK is most consistent followed by FLX. As to the price, here in NJ I see ACE and other DIPAs at 21.99 to 22.99 a four pack and signs ipas at 19.99 usually. That's retailer markup you have or distributor, which I bet changes once it sits too long.

    Anyone picking up citra strata? Strong opinions on recent batches or at least other dual hop beers? I usually stick to core beers and maybe a collab if you guys are crazy about it, but it's an annoying drive so i prefer to not running in for mediocre stuff with the toll booth markup.

    I guess the Anniversary celebration will start in a week or two and the Anniversary release will happen the last weekend in January or first weekend in February. I still have a case worth of beer that I have to finish up to make space :grimacing:

    And will we start seeing re-brews of all the hyped collabs of the past over the next few weeks? That sometimes makes it difficult to make room for the actual anniversary. Lol

    Everyone chill the fuck out. a) I’m [against my will] doing dry January, and b) at this rate we will blast past 34 pages. 2.8 posts per day please.

    How do people do dry January and then go to a website specifically about beer? Actually, how do people do dry January?

    I was bored in a meeting earlier so I found myself reading some threads here, ha. I will say when I was sick and had surgery in 2020 I specifically stayed off BA and several other related things just because I knew it was going to be a pretty long time before I would be able to have beer. I am trying dry Jan right now, we will see how it pans out

    Why do dry January when February has 28 days

    It’s like a month’s worth of foreplay. That first beer is going to be intense.


    Wife decision. I know I’ve moved away but surely people haven’t forgotten how under the thumb I am.


    Case in point - my wife’s birthday is in February….

    Has anybody tried Citra+Strata and if so why haven't you already informed everyone here if its any good?

    Just tried Vapor rings for the first time. I'm a huge fan of their beers however this one was very heavy on the wheat/oat flavor. Anyone else experience that?

    Actually tastes a bit hot, but I get the feeling this is going to settle down and will be amazing in a week or so.

    Nice- I got impatient and ran over to get a 4 pack.

    While I agree that it is def a touch "hot" now, it will also certainly peak in flavor intensity prior to February 1st. I repeat: anyone who wants to enjoy Citra+Strata, the best beer Other Half has brewed so far this year, will need to drink it before January is over.

    I had a rant about the awful bicycle parking situation but will save that for another post, #34plus.

    I don't know that I've ever seen/heard a BIKE parking rant though it actually makes a lot of sense given how many bikes I've seen with lock chains that look wrapped around each other. Please don't keep me wanting.
