The miller lite tidbit though true was really just a troll. Envie and Vert and whatever else all tastes exactly the same. sorry to burst so many bubbles.

It is akin to "All light beers taste the same"

When compared to an old ale or BA Stout they all are very similar.

the stuff Parish has released in the past couple months has all been pretty different to me. Aside from Ghost vs DDH Ghost.

True no doubt

We can discern. One taste really orange juice-y and the other less orange juice-y. All with the same hop taste.

someone is running media relations for Parish

let's be honest here

they are subbing out the mass production stuff that the BAWS wont know or wont care about

they are keeping all the beer snob stuff in house because they know those people will care

now the big question is will the beer snobs, on principle, care about Canebrake being produced out of state.

we shall see

Recently went with a private group for a tasting before a release and was told they would be scaling back production of Ghost, Nova, etc to make room to keep up with the demand of Canebreak. Was also told that they have land already purchased next to existing facility for expansion. Brewing a flagship beer out of state is troubling to me .

You sound like Brash material.

I'm sorry, but Pure Tropics and Atlas taste nothing like the Envie, Ghost, Vert profiles. You can maybe get away with saying Envie is a baby ghost and that Vert tastes similar. But you either have not had the first two I mentioned or you are just lying your arse off.

This is true IMO, Pure tropics had fruit flavor that hops don't create and was thus a far different beer. Atlas was a bigger beer than Parish usually brews and also different.

The beers are all different but the difference is very subtle in most situations (Envie, Opus, Ghost, Bloom). Too subtle for a lot of ppl to care about. The thing that gets most ppl to wait in these long lines is the allure of "rare and sought after beers." Which is a credit to Parish's marketing team, they've created an unbelievable amount of hype around every release.
