Half Acre (2019)

Is someone else running this account today? It's usually a bit sharper than this.

 

Calendar says it's your day. Quilentro's on deck for tomorrow.

 

Ah, shit. Sorry.

 

I’m going to start a petition to have Dungeons become a core, year-round beer

 

I've seconded this motion by opening the last can of Dungeons I have in my fridge.

 

And Half Acre enters the pastrysour game...

 

duuuude, $19.99/4 pack....

 

I'm passing more due to the flavorings than the price.

 

Same here. The profile of the DIPA doesn't appeal to me at all, as coconut in an IPA just turns me off.

 

My hope for this Half-Acre DIPA is that it would be similar to Old School Hawaii Vibes DIPA by Hop Butcher...@croush's all-time favorite and clear cut comeback brewery of the year in his opinion.

Old School Hawaii Vibes had coconut and vanilla... probably only IPA/DIPA with coconut that I've liked to date.

 

I actually really liked OSHV now that you mention it (shhh...don't want to ruin my rep as the local HB curmudgeon). But, that had pineapple in it, which I think was a big part in it coming together well.

I may be having lunch at HA on Lincoln tomorrow, so if this is on tap, I'll order a small pour of it to check it out.

 

I look forward to Croush's announcement that he is quitting craft beer upon discovering an actual Pina Colada.

 

First they hazed up Dungeons, now they’re making coconut milkshakes.

 

Hey folks, visiting for the weekend and wanted to bring some HA goods back home with me ... forgive the noob questions but can 4-packs be purchased at the brewery locations? Or only in bottle shops?

 

Yes. They keep their website fairly well up to date with what's available at the Lincoln Ave shop.

 

Not only can 4 packs be purchased in the brewery, but most of their weekly one offs in 4 packs or sour bottles are only available from the breweries.

 

Was able to snag one of the last 4 packs of Dungeons at a local shop here in Madison. Very, very good. Really loving what HA is doing with their hops. Now if they could just send some of those wild ales our way...

 

Those bottles don’t even leave the brewery. Thankfully their sours are somehow under the radar and don’t sell out immediately

 

Welp...looks like I’ll have to make a visit to HA. I’ll be in Chicago next weekend. Which location would be best for acquiring bottles? Balmoral or Lincoln?
