    Eataly had what looked like over half a case of Doug earlier in the week. I would think it's still there.

    Anyone know where @rollom disappeared to? He has been a frequent contributor on this and other threads and hasn't been on site for about a month.

    I had been wondering the same. Taking a break as far as I know.

    Enjoying my last Hop showers can from almost 2 months ago and I think I'm crazy because it tastes better than ever (even when I had it at the El Dorado release on Saturday).

    I was not at the Trillium/OH collab release at Trillium, but my sister-in-law was. She was able to get 6 bottles, but said it was insane! I can only imagine that this one at OH will be just as bad. Can't make it due to vacation, but get there early!

    Indeed. Other Half has expanded my mind into a realm where IPA's can, at times, almost be "too fresh". I like this problem.

    I was at Trillium for the OH Green Street bottle release. Took me about an hour to make it through the line. People who were saying it was insane, what am I missing?

    It looks like El Dorado is finished in the tap room (according to beermenus). Too bad, I hoping to grab one more taste there later. Anyone know anything about Other Half Hudson Valley IPA? That appears to be the replacement.

    Going to guess it was due to the beer selling out extremely quickly even though it was like a noon release?

    Maybe it was due to last can effect but that was one of the best beers I've had and Hop Showers is like my 3rd favorite Other Half beer. Maybe it's time to reevaluate.

    This was a weekday release, around lunch time, correct? I think the shear amount of people at that time was what made it pretty insane. Not a shitshow, just crazy for the day/time. She was lucky to get the 6 bottle limit before they dropped it.

    I think OH should keep limits really low, sort of like TH, to spread it out. And hoping they have more than one person taking cash/CC or it could take quite a bit. I am guessing 3-4x the amount of people could come out for this release.
