    rarbrew --- @otherhalfnyc & us have agreed (after 10+ hours of lemon-lime zesting) that if ya'll don't like this collab we're probably going to dump your bodies in the Hudson. Have a nice day..

    Looks like they need that zest machine KCBC was using recently!

    Is it possible the 4th can at the next release will be this RAR collab? Depends on the style of what they are brewing, but I don't think they could turn around something in under 2 weeks. Anyone know what they are brewing with all those lemons & limes?

    I wonder if this AGE batch make it into kegs? Noticed it was not on the draft list over the weekend and would definitely like to grab taste at some point.

    Is this batch of hop showers the same profile as the others? (Citra,amarillo,ahtanum). Its quite refreshing and I feel different then the last batch.

    I'm pretty surprised that Hop Showers didn't sell out on Saturday. I'm not complaining since I picked some up on Sunday. Not a crowd favorite anymore?

    I'm not too surprised. Everyone is always after the new beer and tend to not go crazy for something that is brewed semi regularly. I on the other hand love Hop Showers, its my favorite "regular" Other Half beer and love having it in my fridge.

    Makes sense, I always try to stock up on Hop Showers when I get a chance to. For me, it's a great beer to try to have stocked in the fridge whenever available. Haven't tried this batch yet but the photos on Untappd look crazy, maybe these collabs they're doing is helping them step up their game with their already existing offerings?

    Yes pretty much any IPA.

    I think maybe one half barrel was kegged.

    I initially didn't buy any cans this weekend because I really didn't like the past 2 or so batches. This batch, however, is very good and I'm glad I live close enough where I could grab a four pack.

    Does anyone still have any cans of OH IPA from the 07/02 release? Mine are turning into snow globes...

    Picked up a growler of "Simcoe/Wai-iti DIPA" at Milk & Hops tonight. Hadn't heard of this one, but it's really solid. Nice mix of pine and melon/grape fruit flavors and a soft bitterness, just how I like it. I don't even see it on Untappd yet, so it must be brand new. Either that, or Milk & Hops listed another OH beer under the wrong name? Either way, I'm really liking it.
