    Basically no line, lots of everything except tremendous ideas. Dunno if there's another pallet

    Got there at 11, in and out in 30 minutes with all 4 cans. No need to line up.

    So is this what happens when we whine enough about making it hard to get beer without lining up?

    Tremendous Ideas is pretty different from the usual Other Half fare. None of the diesel/dank characteristics. Sweet and creamy, but not overly juicy/tropical. Not sure if I like this as much as I like Other Half's regular offerings, but a change of pace is always welcome with me.

    Not really seeing how the whining changed much personally

    All the whining didn't change anything but they certainly are quiet this morning ...

    It was a joke... There was a lot of bemoaning the #linelife this past week and then this release seemed to be pretty painless. It sounds like you could've shown up any time before like 1:30 and buy 4 whole cases without any hassle.

    Bud's Life is really good. So glad to have a beer that's below 7%. Now lets get a nice solid 5% pale ale in rotation and I'll be happy.

    Ehh, kind of a lackluster release.

    What was it missing? More line cutting? No oysters? No cars being towed at McDonald's? Are you not entertained?

    Heard they're not releasing anything next week due to the AB InBev crackdown. No need to line up next week either.

    The last several single hop ipas have been meh. Cheddar is the weakest of the broccoli/cheddar/cabbage series. I'm sure the collab is pretty good but most recent releases have had better beer.

    Last weeks was a bit weird with a coconut beer but ddh space diamonds and stacks are both excellent.

    The week before you had ddh ACE, ddh broccoli+cheddar, and True green. That's a great lineup for drawing lines!

    The week before was Monkish.

    Before that was DDH Mylar, Green Diamonds, DDH Simcoe, and Forever Ever.

    Before that was DDH DMD and powdered cheese.

    Among all those releases, this weekend's was possibly the most lackluster. It's not a bad thing. I hope all the beers are great, but it isn't that surprising it was a quieter release. Were all those Cloudwater fans going to swing by and blow up the line the same way people do for US collabs?

    Had there not been an LIC release, I probably would've made it out too because I don't know what else to do with my Saturday mornings.

    What is this AB InBev crackdown? That they can't release anything that says Bud on it?

    I've tried all 4 of this week's releases and they are all pretty great. Enigma is the most interesting single hop beer in a while. I agree that cheddar was the weakest of the veggie series but the DDH version is quite nice.
