    I think when someone said half is coming to Brooklyn it was tongue in cheek about a lot of it being traded, but I could be wrong.

    Man, I hope they brew Galaxy a bit more often. Really enjoying it. Definitely in my top 3 of their single hops with Mosaic and Citra.

    Anyone try All That And Then Some?

    Yep. I like it. They say it's 100 IBUs, but it doesn't taste like it.

    craft beer and boom bap records are the ultimate combo.

    havent been to OH yet, but Singlecut had turntables the last time I was there. they were playing some shitty hipster music tho.

    and cosign Buddah Bar. lots of great DJ sets there.

    I really wish that more of the craft beer bars in NY would embrace the underground NY hip hop scene.

    Just imagine drinking Green Diamonds on draft with Sleep by Godfather Don bangin on the PA system in background.

    The wife is going to be working in Brooklyn tomorrow. I'm super bummed they only have cans every couple of weeks. I don't think she'll check a growler in her suitcase for the flight home. Someday...

    A 32 oz growler would take up less space than a 4pk of cans. Plus the growlers are counter pressure filled, so it'll last the trip for sure. :slight_smile:

    Can release this Saturday at the brewery, 10am. More details coming later today as we are waiting on our can manufacturer to send shipping details. We will definitely have Hop Showers and possibly Mosaic IPA. Cheers!

    Well shit. I assumed the release would be next weekend so I booked a ferry out to Carton this Saturday.

    Can't make it. Have not been able to get any of the releases this year for Hop Showers. Bummer!

    But my wife is thankful as I'm making money Saturday and not spending it!

    All That & Then Some is terrific. I went in last night just as Rockstar Farmer came on. It's a farmhouse w/brett (collab with Stillwater) that clocks in at 4.5%. My main takeaway was everything was in balance and was super smooth.

    A friend of mine who went to Trillium last Saturday (and scored me some Sleeper Street, which is borderline amazing) told me about the OH/Trillium collab and said that Green Street was going to be sold at Trillium exclusively, not in Brooklyn.

    Sorry to be a day late/dollar short, but I just opened this thread for the first time.

    I thought All That and Then Some was tasty, but way overly bitter when I tried it the other day on my first visit there. But you know, different palates and all that.

    I did think Hop Showers, AGE, and Galaxy were absolutely mind-blowingly good, though. Other Half is so cool.
