Other Half (October 2018)

Was going to make the drive from Harrisburg, PA this weekend but will probably end up paying a mule. Between gas and outrageous NY tolls, it will actually be cheaper with mule fees and shipping

 

Speaking of huge Grolwers, Amazon Treasure Trucks (e.g. buy in person in the City) has the GrowelrWerks pressurized uKeg 128oz in Cooper for $135 today (40% off from $230)... what a timely text message to receive.

But ... will OH fill it....

 

I live 80 miles away,have a fuel efficient car and it's still cheaper for me to pay a mule. (Parkway,through si and into Brooklyn) Unless I want to get 4 cases of beer,its way cheaper.

 

far as im aware they will not fill these

 

Yep I got quoted at $143 for four 4 packs ($80 beer + $40 fees + $23 shipping).

To drive it would be about $80 beer + $25 gas each way + $40 in tolls each way = $190. Plus the cost of my time for an entire saturday.

$143 for 16 beers is by no means cheap but muling is by far the most cost effective option

 

I haven't had the OH cryo beers, but I've had a lot of other beers in both cryo and non-cryo form. To clarify, I mean different batches of the same beer, not just cryo beers in general. The flavor difference is negligible. I'd guess that if you like OH beers, you'll like cryo OH beers.

 

Have you considered OH or Brew Gentleman? Both closer, cheaper and just as good if not better than OH.

 

This weekend has a ton of great releases and events. Don't recall a beer weekend this kickass since June 30th

 

What am I missing outside of this thread?

 

There's the Bissell Brothers takeovers at Mikkeller Saturday and OH Sunday.

I thought the Hudson Valley takeover at Proleteriat was this weekend, but luckily it's next week.

 

Also Hudson Valley has a release, EQ has a cool looking release, Grimm is releasing a good looking babka stout, and Suarez is doing stuff at Threes

 

They don’t, at least they wouldn’t the last time I asked. I got a gallon filled at The Shop @ Three’s for like $20 though one time they did their growler sale where you roll an 18 sided die.

 

I know this is very #2012 #nohype #basicbitch #distributed #ewww but also there’s a FW event at One Mile House

 

finback also has three new cans and should still have oscillation from last weekend

 

It’s getting mediocre ratings but Mosaic + Mandarina may be my favorite dual hop. I’ve been drinking so many OH Ipas lately that they’ve all started to taste exactly the same but this one stood out during my recent visit to the taproom. Mandarina really is a unique hop.

 

I didn’t want to say this due to making the joke i’d rave about it after buying a 4 pack, but I totally agree. Maybe it’s cos my expectations were low, but for me it’s a fantastic beer. Sometimes I find the straight Mosaic beers to be too...Mosaicy. This is a great balance. Both hops complement each other really well.

 

I’m glad it’s not just me. DMD and the early iterations of DDH DMD used to be my fave OH beers and I didn’t think they could be topped. Now I rarely buy them

 

Finally opened my Vanilla Futurez and I'm almost a little disappointed that I'm not getting Dr. Pepper/Cough Syrup like a lot of other people, its pretty tasty though.

 

Given that the 1 year mark is fast approaching: if we don't see b2 of All Infinity Everything by the end of this month I am just gonna snap.
