    Makes me glad I live in Brooklyn and can get a pint of Other Half at any number of fine drinking establishments any time I want.

    FYI Nelson and Citra cans on tap at Bushwick Fine Fare for the low, low price of $24.99 per 4 pack....

    obviously this is illegal and a big slap in the face to the guys at OH. assuming they are aware of this problem since it happened with the GD can release as well?

    They are aware...the bottom of this canning run says "NO RESALE" on the bottom (the last GD run said "fuckin tasty" on the bottom), so they're clearly taking a shot at those guys. Not much they can really do though unless they figure out who is coming from BFF that day, which has to be pretty difficult

    Doesn't this go against distribution laws in place?

    What's really lame about this, IMO, is there are several bars and bottle shops in BK OH has good relationships with who could actually sell this beer at a reasonable price to customers who would be very happy to buy it. When Superfun! was released I wasn't super eager to get it and therefore didn't go to the brewery on release day, but when I saw it at my local bar/shop (Covenhoven) I was happy to pick up 2 four packs. I was glad I was able to get it without putting in much effort, OH and Covenhoven both profit, everybody wins.

    Do they have a yelp or facebook we should all go on and blow up their spot destroy their ratings? or is that going too far?

    Not too far at all. Report the facts on a Yelp review. What they are doing is potentially illegal and if not, the way they are acquiring the beer and the absurd pricing is something consumers should be aware of.

    Most people prefer not to trade growlers but if and when AGE is released in cans, that can make a big difference.

    I commented on the BFF photo on IG and got my account blocked and my comments deleted -- great way to keep a local customer!

    Yeah that place will definitely not be added to my NYC Craft beer map.

    Doing a side by side tasting of Citra vs Nelson.

    The Citra definitely has a better aroma, but the Nelson is much smoother on the palate.

    But I prefer the taste of the Citra over the Nelson. Especially if you let the Citra warm up a bit.

    I just sent an email to Beer Menus to remove BFFM's listings.

    Hmmm...looks like my review on yelp was removed. Glad to still see 3-4 other ones still up there though.

    I'm not following these dudes on instagram, but please take more screen shots if they post more! Just in case they decide to delete their post.

    I called out Other Half's IG feed on BFF's feed and let Anthony know as well. Seems like as soon as I put up that comment on their feed, it got taken down.
