    Just left - was a pretty short wait. Got a 64 of Street Green and 32 of Greenbacks. Agree with comments about grower pricing, but I'm more OK with paying the markup if it means I save four hours of wait time.

    Leaving from Newark now...if you hear a boom around 8pm, that will mean the keg has kicked and I travelled 1.25jr for my health

    Just cracked a can of GD, not getting any alcohol heat at all on this one. Though I will say the can I opened up on Saturday did taste a little hot.

    Got to say this can is tasting extra smooth actually.

    EDIT: Also the can of Street Green I just drank is tasting a little bit smoother than it did on Saturday as well.

    Basically no wait at the moment. I like seeing some single hops on draft without waiting for a can release.

    Greenbacks is great. Glad they brewed that again.

    wasnt greenbacks what they brewed with the Mission Dolores folks for their anniversary this year? I had thought that was a one time thing as well, but glad they are bringing things back.

    No line, no wait on the fills right now. Biked over here and now I'm toting precious cargo through the wilds of Brownstone Brooklyn.

    Greenbacks>Street Green. They're very similar but, Dank Lemon>Lemon Candy. I think a double version of Greenbacks would be the perfect IPA.

    Man what a solid lineup at the tap room right now. Are all those beers available for growler fills? Amarillo also?

    I was only there for about an hour, but the line was never far past the door. Great tap lineup right now, if I didn't have to pick up my kid I might still be there!

    I hope they have a lineup this nice next Saturday during the can release.

    Supposedly there's a shitload of street green left. Second batch that was brewed is entirely draught only, so should hit a bunch of bars and be in the taproom for a bit.

    I would be extremely happy if this was somehow on tap during the release on the 21st

    Mission Dolores is awesome - great vibe and excellent taps. Tried Rainbow Dome for the first time there and fell in love.

    Looks, like i forgot an '?' in my post, which could lead to confusion, was asking if it was still tapping at WF

    I really hope they don't do some release of that on the same day as cans. Gotta do tickets. Or I wonder if it would see modest distro like Veldrijden did?

    Would not expect a Barrel Aged release to be as hyped/crazy as the trillium collab. Other half is known for it's IPA's not it's stouts. I would probably just skip it all together and wait to see how people feel about it.

    Way to easy to come by solid BA stouts in the city then it is to come by fresh IPA's as good as OH's.

    Considering the first BA stout bottle, people will probably tread lightly. That said, they've obviously stepped up their game on them since then.
