    Yes to all cans as singles usually. I think it's 7 a single, 8 a double, and 9 for triple/fruited.

    And yes, it sounds like there's a ton on the way. Hell, Feb. 6 is likely the *actual* anniversary release and we've got to get there!

    yeah, that beer sucked unfortunately. Regretfully, I bought 2x4packs. none of the d96 character.

    The beer is better in pink cans.

    Anyone try the Foam collab? Is it anywhere near as good as the first batch?

    Im not gonna pretend like I remember how batch 1 of mouthful of diamonds tasted, I just remember it being extremely soft and drinkable. I think I had 3 cans the day I bought em. This batch is really good, I am getting some melon. That being said I’m sure someone will call it oxidized.

    Are the single can prices at domino park a quarter of the four pack price or sold with a single can premium?

    I stopped by yesterday to pick up a couple singles. IIRC single IPAs are $7 doubles $8 & collab/triples $9. I know it’s a lot but I’d rather spend a premium for singles instead of loading up on 4pack I may not like.

    I had a handful of the newish beers the Foam collab was the best of the bunch. The EQ/Verdant and the Prison City/HVB collabs were both melon bombs, my buddies loved them but I feel like most on this forum will want to avoid. I liked Dank Capsules quite a bit, but the winners of the session was the Foam collab and the HDHC Ta Dow.

    Also, sounds like there will be a taproom at Rockefeller Center at some point.

    Looks like we’re getting a rebrew of Panna e Fragole

    Having Other Half IPA right after the Threes/Highland Park collab was a mistake, I used to love OH IPA but the latter is just so much better.

    Yea what @Bankhead said. If you like West Coast IPA its easily the best I've had from a NYC brewery.

    Unrelated but I also cracked a DDH Space Diamonds and man is it nothing like I remember. I get a ton of the melon which I assume is from the yeast that people have mentioned. Its still good, at least it doesn't taste like dirt like the last batch of SD I had early last year and many other Galaxy beers this past year.

    Yeah I popped a SD last night and definitely enjoyed it. It reminds me of Very Green if Other Half Freaky Friday'd it.

    Also as per whether or not the hops add anything to the melon, I had it and an All Citra. They both had that delicious melon profile, but it didn't make the beers indistinguishable. It was still clear which was which.

    I've enjoyed nearly all of Other Half's recent Galaxy stuff (still REALLY enjoying Jumbo Slice). I'm drinking a Bright Edges right now and the single ipas out of DC continue to impress me.
