    It's still on, nobody came by. Got myself like 4 pours (all 4.5oz....) between 8:00 and 9:30PM.

    PS. FO is better

    I was there at the same time. Before I left at around 9:00 the bartender guessed there was about 1/4 keg left. Literally everyone there was coming up to the bar and ordering Old Chub! Anyway, I've had Vanilla Rye several times now, out of the bottle and on draft. Something didn't taste 100% about this batch, maybe it was the serving temp? Maybe it was the lines? Maybe it was the diminished hype? I did spend a lot of time warming it up until it tasted closer to "right" but you can't refute how good FO is.

    Yeah, I hate to say this, but the FO hype may be real. I'll be interested to try the VR on tap and compare it to the bottle I had awhile back.
    Makes me bummed I didn't get to the release and get 6 bottles of FO :slight_frown:

    I make no promises :wink:

    I actually can't stay too long so I'll most likely have a couple pours and bail. If you can get off early though that would be cool. Hopefully it doesn't kick between now and then though!

    I can't imagine it will if it looked to have 1/4 left. Taphunter shows it's been on since the 26th.
    Yeah, I'll be a couple pours and out too...I shouldn't even do that but I've been wanting to make for "beer/me" time lol.

    They don't want you to have any VR. Better use that PTO!

    I just happen to get off work early today (really), and stopped by early. I was prepared to wait while reading a book. They were cool enough to let me enjoy the glass while chatting with them.

    They said they were surprised that the keg didn't blow last night.
