Trillium and Other Half have teamed up once again to brew some beer! Does it taste like Two Hundred Thousand Trillion or does it taste like Two Hundred Thousand Trillion poops were canned?
Style: Double IPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Snifters
Notes: The palate beckons with flavors of ripe honeydew and apricot, finishing with a slight citrus & tropical fruit. Refreshing, subtle fruit flavors from aging on peaches, apricots & guava are balanced by a drying citrus tang.. (8%)

This is a blend of recipes of Trillium’s Dialed In and Monkish’s Dial the Seven Digits. Is it delicious or does it lead to a throat filled with fire like their previous collab?
Style: DIPA
Container: 16oz can
Glassware: Flutes
Notes: Combining the recipes for Dialed In (our Double IPA brewed with various wine grape juices) and Monkish’s Dial the Seven Digits Double IPA, DUT7D is a harmonious marriage of dank hop flavors and smooth, subtle muscat juice. (8.2%)
Rating: 3.75/5
