    I'd like to know this as well. I was going to grab another crowler of Squeezit sometime this week, as I thought they had expected it to last until Friday or Saturday. Obviously things can move faster than expected, but to have it kicked on Monday instead of Friday/Saturday seems like a big difference. I think Corridor has been relatively good with their estimates of how long this stuff will last, too.

    It was still on as of about 5pm yesterday. It did say something along the lines of "will go fast" on the chalkboard, but I was guessing that was more generally speaking than an indication that it was low or anything.

    @BJP Any thoughts on Lupulin Powder / Cryo Hops? I've only had a few beers I knew used it & hated them...have you experimented?

    I'd imagine no unless they change the label art.

    100% agree with this - the cryo hops are awful.

    The Other Half beers I've had with lupulin powder have been fantastic.

    I've had a few ipas with lupulin powder and cryo hops. I never thought they were terrible. Most of them I wasn't wowed by, but I think they add something unique to beers.

    Still on as of now. Bartender said they have just over two barrels left.

    Really solid but I did prefer 1.0, which is a top 3 local NEIPA IMO. This one is not over the top Mosaic, but as someone previousy mentioned, if you like that hop, you'll probably dig 2.0. Same great appearance, nose and mouthfeel as 1.0.

    It's pretty irritating to me that generally speaking my opinion on these beers seems to be either "Awesome, but needs citra" or *has citra* "this beer is the best!" I really wish I could find something that rivals my citra love.

    (special mention to Galaxy Bowl as the only NE IPA in my top 3 that doesn't have citra, or even mosaic)

    I feel like you have may mentioned this before. But what are your thoughts on Moteuka hops? Citra was my number one hop until I found Moteuka haha.

    I'm not entirely sure I've had a beer that's super prominently Motueka, although I know I've had beers with Motueka in 'em. My thought was that I don't really love the hop, but like I said, I'm not sure if I even know what it tastes like. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Hopefully Mikerphone does another batch of Special Sauce Moteuka. That is obviously the best representation of the hop haha. Another notable beer was Reply Hazy (but I know it gets a lot of flack).

    Ah yeah, I did like Reply Hazy quite a bit, but I assumed (and still assume) it was mostly the citra aspect of it. I'll have to find a motueka single hop beer and let you know.

    Squeezit as of today will make it until Thursday unless we get a big push. We will tap our next Hazy after Squeezit kicks.

    Anyone notice Ram released a beer called Double DIPA? "Mosaic, El Dorado and Amarillo with an extra addition of Mosaic Lupulin Powder. New England style DIPA." Anyone try it?

    Thanks. I may have to swing by sooner than later to pick up that crowler then...and then stop by soon again for the next one!

    Skadoosh by Alchemist made great use of lupulin powder (in the citra version). They have used it at different points in the process though so there's another nuance
