    They only fill up standard screw top growlers (64 or 32) like this one:

    Mine doesn't say Bed Stuy Beer Works, am I gonna have trouble?

    Also, my 32 oz doesn't at all look like that one :wink:

    Small Green Everything (brewed for Greenwood Park beer garden) was really tasty. Not completely dissimilar from the Other Half + Mission Dolores anni collab Tiny Dancer (another Session IPA), but grassier and earthier. Really enjoyed that one, though not available for flights or growlers, just 12oz pours

    Doug Cascadian Dark was drinking fantastically. Haven't had that since over the winter. Hope to see that keep coming.

    I *think* All Green should be back up in the coming weeks. Also keep an eye out for Superfun! Pale Ale.

    Had it for the first time Saturday, and Doug is one of the finest Black ales I have tried. Amazing, I don't think they used debittered for it (could be wrong, didn't want to ask), but the roast was so clean and tasty in it, the hops so well balanced against it, really wonderful take of a tough style to brew.

    She does, but I don't. I'm in there at least twice a week, however, so you've probably seen me.

    Quite simply, it was the finest Black IPA I've ever had...or Cascadian Dark ale if you're nasty.

    Haha...that's hilarious. I saw the picture, and I was thinking, where the hell do I recognize these faces?

    I go usually once a week, if not, every other week. Usually mid-week, mid-afternoon and I get stuff to go because I can't drink during the day. I'm really tall with the long sideburns, usually sweating my ass off, haha.

    Anyone seen any Other Half in Williamsburg lately? Driving to Fette Sau for dinner tonight and was hoping to stop by a bar to have a pint or two of some Other Half IPAs. I absolutely fell in love with their beer at the Cooper's tap takeover. Green Diamonds and Galaxy were amazing!

    Checked Beer Menus and it doesn't list any bars (just beer stores) in Brooklyn. The rest are in NYC.

    Untappd is a good way to lookup a beer and see where people are drinking it.

    If it's not too late, their stuff is plentiful in Brooklyn. By "beer store" do you mean The Sampler? They are both a store and bar and a nice place to drink. In Bushwick rather than Williamsburg, but not too far and the two beers there should please.

    Tonight's hump day beverages were mostly of the fridge clearing variety; prairie birra, SN ovila with mandarin oranges, hodad, and my nightcap, a bottle of big foot from the most recent batch.

    My wife and I also split a backacre golden sour, and she had a can of 668. Tough week, beer needed.

    Ok that's embarrassing. I'm actually pretty sober at this point too, just having issues with the phone. Oh well, THATS what I'm drinking now. What a maroon.

    Green Diamond at Fools Gold last night was "Spot On"
    Definately the Best DIPA I've had from the east coast. Wish I could take back a growler or 2 with me to SoCal. I highly recommend a taste or three of this to anybody coming to NYC from the west coast.

    I'm going to stop by here early tomorrow at noon to fill up some growlers if any BA'ers are about.
