Other Half March 2018!

Gonna guess that FP2 is a double batch. $22 a 4 pack CA CHING!

 

maybe even a triple batch:

@dhaakon math time

600 cases * 6 = 3600 4 packs * $22 = $79,200

Yeah I think FP2 lasts the line and the Alvarado is the first to go followed by DDH Citra Daydream. #hottake

 

another #hottake and for the hat trick: DDH Citra Daydream is the best beer released this weekend.

One more: Theres either another bottle or glassware announced the night before.

Easiest take: Mid-week DDH Socks for a 4 can release on Sat.

 

hoof hearted employee: Hello, whose this?

caller: Hey I lost my phone and was wondering if anyone had found it?

hh: oh ok, lemme check...

hh: well we actually found a phone but we're wondering if you could confirm a couple details. what make, model and color is it?

caller: oh well I'm not really good with technology but it's definitely white and an iPhone. I think it's the 6?

hh: thats the one! can i get your name so i can leave it at the bar?

caller: Oh thank goodness! Sure thing, you just made my day! My name is seymour.

hh: Wonderful and your last name?

caller: Butts.

hh: Ok Seymour Butts... We'll leav....Dude, come on. (hangs up)

EVERY. GODDAMN. TIME.

 

It's not as good as triple double, but def really good and not "not good". Enjoying the Chinook notes which are coming through nicely.

 

For what were at heart snobbish aesthetic reasons, I so badly wanted to dislike the Hoof collab. But lo, this beer is great. Decidedly better than the Monkish collab, and I would say as good as the Answer collab. Reminds me of True Green, but softer and sweeter. Would taste good and would refresh after a day on the slopes. Happy to have come around on this! It is nice to be surprised.

 

The 2 hop series has been dope as well. Citra + Galaxy is fire

 

I think the rumor is there will be a Hudson Valley release this Saturday also. So I’m sure that will draw a number of people away from OH.

 

Those are great as well. Apparently a good amount of new Dual Hops coming down the pipeline.

 

For those who missed it:

Just from my own experience I've found Conan to be a lot more finicky than any of the other typical "NEIPA" yeast strains so might be able to chalk it up to not getting it dialed in just yet.

 

Oh nice, since I missed the release this weekend I can buy 2 of each of the 3 cans on eBay for a total of $102 including shipping. Not bad, right?

 

Idiots are paying that much for beer? FOMO is real and a fool and his money are soon parted.

 

I used to hate those guys that sell on eBay but at this point, if idiots will pay that much money for beer, why not sell?

 

I think some of us are missing the point that these resellers at a high price are giving us the opportunity to buy $30-40 a can beer for the low price of $5 a can! Many were able to buy $100+ tekus for $15!

 

wow. i honestly never realized that it was selling that high.

It is like modern day baseball cards

 

Way worse than that; you can't even compare this to collecting rare bottles of wine. These don't age, they need to be consumed (ideally soon), and perhaps worst/stupidest of all, there is a really good chance these will be made again, and again, and again...ad nauseum. I generally don't begrudge that in a market economy if a consumer is willing to pay a given price, they should be given the opportunity to do so. And while all consumers are irrational, these consumers have completely lost their damn minds.

 

Irrational exubeerance

 

those wine auctions are pretty interesting to watch.. similiar to the Mecum auctions for cars, great tv to me personally
