    Come on now. There is no way last Saturday's line for Like Whoa could be described as "crazy." The line may have been somewhat long, but it moved quickly and efficiently.

    I haven't touched the rest of mine yet, going to wait based on this, I liked the one I had day one, but way too grassy, grassy not something I like. Thanks for update!

    Probably why they do a limited amount now. I mean I think IPA has potential but it needs work. When I had it for the first time on draft, I loved it. When I grabbed a 4 pack at the Debbie Downer/Motueka + Galaxy release, I hated it. But there are factors here for me. When I had it on draft, I just got over a cold and it was the first beer I had in about 2 weeks so that could be why I loved it. When I had it in cans, I was also drinking Carton's 077xx so maybe comparing the 2 didn't help. Long story short I won't buy it again.

    People have different tastes, remember. I had one over the weekend and it was quite nice.

    I've only been to OH once and that was quite some time ago, if you want to get cans what time should I realistically get there? I was planning to get there around 9:45 or 10 hoping to get some DDH ACE, but is that too late?

    Cheers

    Nope, you should be fine. Other Half hasn't sold out of beer through the initial line in a long time. Every once in a while they do a small run and that might, but the ones you mentioned are regular sized batches.

    Still hoping Like Whoa will show up on tap somewhere soon. Think it will be on tap Sat. Morning for fills?

    I was just checking Untappd, a photo from three hours ago showed it up tonight. I bet it's on Saturday.

    This might be a question for @Kanger , but maybe someone else could answer.
    If the Like Whoa release was 750 cases, which was just one beer. How many cases on average are there of each type of beer for the typical multi-beer release. I'm guessing 750 is high because it was a special release.

    I remember someone saying around 350 cases per beer on release days, but I could be wrong.

    Yea, Im not positive. I think their normal runs are 30BBL which is ~250 cases per beer. A small run is a 15BBL batch?

    250 would make more sense since Like Whoa was a triple batch at 750 cases.

    Hop Showers was the first beer I had from OH, and it's still one of my favorites today.

    I'm hoping DDH ACE lasts until, like, 4pm

    I'm hoping the Jets win the Superbowl as well, but both scenarios have an equal likelihood of happening.
