Half Acre (2019)

Come on, man. You just broke the internet.

 

chemtrailmix at the sunday event

 

FTFY

 

whoops

 

How’s Big Hugs + variants this year? Crazy how the whole event passed without a single comment on this thread.

 

ended up at ha tonight around 9. was able to grab ba vanilla bh and vanilla bh without issue. tried both on tap, they are outstanding.

 

Those Orin variants are weird

 

*sits patiently, waiting for someone to say Big Hugs is world class*

 

I thought they were really good, better than last year.

I'm normally not a big fan of stouts with both coffee and vanilla but I thought BA Vanilla Big Hugs was delicious. Regular BA Big Hugs is miles better that what I had last year.

 

Hope the BA vanilla is still available Tuesday. That soundss great

 

I didn’t see BA vanilla at Lincoln yesterday, but the others including 2 packs of reg BA big hugs were there. May want to try Balmoral?

 

Can confirm BA Vanilla was kicked at Lincoln last night.

 

Q: Is Navaja now only a March release (yes yes I know they did a small batch recently but since I'm not there...well, I had to cry from a distance) ??
Thanks from CO, in advance.

 

Yes. Just once a year now.

 

Thanks, man, trying to do some 'travel' beer planning for March.

 

I should also mention that Obelisk is a nice beer...a nice 'tweener that has the citrus fruit notes of the NE IPA with that mild pine-y, resinous bite Half Acre made their name on.

 

Big Hugs was a great party this weekend. Big hugs is pretty good this year, my favorite in years. Dangerously drinkable.

guest taps were great too. Coffee abraxas, Rev Santuary #9, a few others I’m forgetting.

went over to Lincoln later that night and drank some Keeping Together which is outstanding.

Around the Table is also . Burl, then Shores, now this. Half acre is doin work right now. AND... heard we might hear some dungeons related news soon....

 

I’d gladly drink it over a number of beers that generate a line

 

I'm sure this will just come down to preferences, and by no means do I intend to start a Mikerphone bloody argument, but which ones? The beers I can think of that even generate lines locally nowadays are BCBS, Revolution Deep Woods, and More and Phase 3 stouts. I'd definitely rather have those over Big Hugs. I love Half Acre, but have never been impressed by it.

 

Between Deth's Tar, Benthic and BCS releases along with a few other Chicagoland stouts and VSOD Friday I'm having trouble even caring about Big Hugs. #Chicagolandproblems
