    I love Other Half and All Green Everything but this comparison to Heady Topper shit has to stop.

    Why do you care if someone prefers AGE over Heady Topper?

    I don't think it's all that crazy...I love heady but still prefer Sip of Sunshine, Second Fiddle, Focal Banger, and a lot of other NE IPAs to it. Don't think I prefer AGE to Heady but I also haven't tasted them side by side either.

    Preferring and comparing are two different things. I don't care if they prefer AGE, but in no way are they similar beers.

    No cussing please.

    I think because Triple Sunshine, PtY, and other Triple IPAs are better comparisons than Heady Topper and other DIPAs. It's not really a matter of preference as much as a poor comparison.

    I love OH but I'd take a 4pack of heady over AGE. If there was a mixed case of their single hopped beers though, it'd probably be another story...

    No one is saying they are similar beers.

    Haha that's why I deleted it before you responded. Realized I was kind of being a dick.

    All good. Don't want to argue! :slight_smile:

    So back to OH. I believe the next can release will be the week of 8/22.

    Any idea as to what the next single hop is going to be or are they going to stick to the rotation of previously released beers?

    I think Mosaic is in the tanks at the moment. (at least I hope it is!)

    I should be done with my keg of Money by then so it looks like I'm making a trip to pick up a case.

    Not too confident much of this is making it to NYC. I'm hoping some of it does. :/

    I have had full pours of green diamonds, Nelson, hop showers, and tastings of Galaxy and AGE at a share. All were delicious, but today I had a full pour of forever green at a local spot and to me(my own opinion, not representative of anything factual) it was by far their most impressive beer I had, it drank so much bigger than 4.7% and packed tons of hop flavor. I personally prefer heady topper to similar ABV offerings by OH, but they demonstrate an overall mastery of hops as a brewery

    They do a ton of great beers that aren't in cans yet! I'm hoping we get G is for Green in cans soon!

    Any chance of an Amarillo single hop?

    That would be tasty.

    If I had a guess, Centennial would be the next single hop can since they brewed that one earlier this year.

    I hope they have some on at the OH Tasting Room or carry some in cans/bottles (since Trillium bottles) at the OH brewery. Don't see why they wouldn't have it on draft at least at the brewery. Will be a killer beer!
