Half Acre Brewing Co. (2025)

Just occurred to me that Tend is not a seasonal release this year? That's disappointing, if so.

 

Jet Harvest is so good

 

Anyone try this yet??

 

Had it on draft. It fucking slaps.

Wish I had copped a 2 pack but I'll be guzzling it at the source until it's gone.

 

Way too damn sweet. One of the few misses HA has had for BA.

 

Draft or can? I had it on draft and perceived the opposite - quite dry. Have not opened a can yet, though.

 

I found my can. Little sweet (more barleywines that big seem sweet to me). I did perceive some dryness from the wine barrel on the back end though. It was pretty good but I don’t know if it was worth the trip for a two pack

 

...I'm back for more! In case anyone else was wondering, all OZNR pickups were made on time so there are no stray 2 packs for sale.

Is this being sold as a box or is there going to be a possibility to pick and choose. I love Benthic but I don't need 12 cans of it for $200+

 

It's been a box for a while now if you want all of them. Regular Benthic and 1 or 2 variants have been sold as 2 packs separately, but not all of the variants.

 

Triple barrel may help move some 12 packs. I won’t love Marabi in all likelihood but it looks like a pretty good lineup

 

This box will put the economy into recession.

 

I saw no 2-packs being sold of any variants of last year's Benthic, but maybe I missed them. The Boxes were in the cooler for a few months after however, so I wouldn't bust my balls on Onzr fees if you can just pick-up instead.

I also asked if this year's release was pre-FOBAB on Insta this year and it was confirmed they are doing it 11/5 onwards if anyone was wondering about the pick-up window, kinda seemed like we'd pre-order 11/5 and pick-up the next week which doesn't seem to be the case.

Feel like lots of people including myself were waiting for 2x4 or Fable 2024 2-packs but it never happened, kinda frustrating when they clearly had plenty of leftover boxes to possibly break up, but also I get it.

As for this year's box, can't fucking wait. Every one sounds like a banger. Nice to know the last is a Triple Barrel too.

 

yeah HA is pretty unique in that their Oznr sales and pickups start immediately. You can see breweries are absolutely getting their BA beers out early this year (HA, Maplewood, P3, Riverlands)

 

I live in Atlanta but if anyone is interested in splitting a pack I’m happy to figure out specifics just shoot me a message

 

They listed it on Oznr for $199 before fees. I think that about tracks with last year’s

 

it’s up from last year. It was 184.95 plus tax.

 

Last year it was $228.94, all said and done ($199.95. $21.49 tax, $7.50 fee).

It was base $184.95 in 2023 ($211.77 total, $19.88 tax, $6.94 fee).
