    Electric Lettuce Cans sold out on Friday. Mosaic Crush cans sold out after that.

    I was able to go up on Sunday afternoon. Took friends that were visiting from the Denver area, Super chill atmosphere with a great food truck. The expansion for more seating and additional bathrooms is well underway now. Should be done soon. Good time had by all.

    Had Electric Lettuce off the tap. Drinking great. One of their BEST beers.

    Hit Knee Deep as well right after.

    Haha I've thought this as well. OH is silly but at least their designs are dope. Moonraker labels look like they were drawn in MS Paint.
    Those typefaces are all over the place too.
    Luckily they know how to brew well :laughing:

    If I show up at opening tomorrow is there a chance cans from today's release will still be available.

    Thanks sending my parents from Vacaville to grab some to drop off on their drive to Vegas. Don't want to waste their time if strong chance of a sellout today.

    Thanks

    This was a lower demand release with Zulu Haze, Yojo 66 and Alpha Tide. Cans lasted into Sunday.

    Hopefully your crew was able to get them with little wait.

    Had 66 1/6 on tap. I think I like it over all other Moonraker DIPAs I've tried (Dojo, Electric Lettuce, The Holy Hermit, Citra/Mosaic/Simcoe Double Crush). It's got that dank WC hop aroma I love, along with the juice. And no booze.

    I may have to revisit 66 1/6. Mosaic and Simcoe hops.

    Maybe it is just recency bias..... But my fav lately has been Electric Lettuce. Still love Holy Hermit and DOJO though.

    Yojo IPA and Atomic Betty DIPA can release at NOON today. Should be a small line going by 11am as this one won't last long. YOJO is still their most popular beer. Projections of 158 cases for Yojo, 120 for Atomic Betty.

    Limits: Yojo (3) 4 packs per person($16). Atomic Betty (2) 4 packs per person($18).

    FYI, If anyone was planning on driving up the hill today for the Galaxy Crush release..... Don't.

    Probably a new line record at Moonraker for the Sacramento area. Past the back parking lot to the next building now. 100s in line.

    With that line, doesn't look like I am going to bother to make it up there now. Not worth the drive up.

    3 different cans for Release today. Galaxy Double Crush, Sling Jaw, Outrigger. Should be far less of a line this time.

    Very smooth release this weekend at Moonraker.

    I was able to get cans on Saturday with NO line since they didn't sell out on Friday this time.

    The Galaxy Double Crush will sneak up on you. Easy drinkin. Almost a WC/EC hybrid.

    Triple can release last Friday 10/13. Increased production to close to 500 cases.

    I was able to go on Saturday afternoon and get all 3 cans with no line. I heard on Sunday they still had Yojo 33 and Jungle Crush (Atomic Betty sold out first).

    Atomic Betty Double IPA was my favorite. Galaxy and Citra with that Mango and Pineapple. Yojo 33 1/3 with Mosacic and Simcoe was also good. Jungle Crush Pale Ale was solid.

    The Atomic Betty DIPA was my favorite of this can release. This batch was even better then the last time I had it.

    I wish I could get up to the Auburn area more often. I've loved every moonraker hazy this far, but living in the City it's tough to get their stuff.

    Atomic Betty was my favorite from this latest 3 can release also.

    Had a great time at Moonraker last Saturday. Good to finally get a chance to chill there and get some pours instead of just grabbing cans. Loved playing Cornhole with friends while drinking pints - great place, good vibes. Grabbed a mixed case of the three releases without any problem. Atomic Betty is drinking sweet. Unfortunately been to busy with work to try the other two cans :slight_frown:.
