    Kiabacca is a solid bar that has had a good tap list both times I went. Nice alternative to Pony Bar when it gets crowded.

    Constant cans? That would be a beautiful thing.

    Black cans are Other Half IPA. What are the white cans?

    Def IPA, I remember seeing those cans in an issues of Beer Advocate magazine. Forever ever makes sense looking at the cans now

    Wow! What does "on the regular" mean? Distro all over like Doug got or always available at the brewery during tap hours?

    I would think its put in regular rotation similar to Green Diamond, Hop Showers and AGE.

    I was thinking it meant even more available than those 3. Had me thinking if they would be brewing these elsewhere to make it happen. Or is this just 'more available' meaning that they are slowing down with single hop releases for now and replacing with these 2?

    Based on the Grimm thread the min order quantity is enormous, so when i saw the pic i thought it meant for regular distro or at least daily release similar to Bissell Bros. That said they must be storing the GD,AGE,HS cans somewhere other than the brewery for use every month.

    There appears to be ~18-20 cans deep on each of those pallets, and 13 rows are visible(on the second pallet in the back of the ForeverEver cans. so thats at least 324-400 to a row and 4200-5200 per pallet (based on 13 rows, probably more) and two pallets of each in the picture, so about 20,000 cans. That said a release of 250 cases is 6000 cans. I did all that math assuming that the number of cans in the photo would far exceed what would be required for months of releases, but clearly i messed that up.

    TLDR: OH goes through a boatload of cans

    Good news on the OH IPA. But can't say I'm excited by the session beers. Any word on Short Dark and Extra Handsome? 12/19 release, perhaps?

    I remember talking to the guys at Kane and them saying they have to order a ton of cans. My friend had sent me a picture of all of them and stupid me thought they were all full.:grinning:

    Are there cans available at Other Half regularly or just for releases? Any cans available this weekend?
