    Well....it's about time :slight_smile:

    So, I've gotten 32oz fills of Oat Overdose and Superillo in the past few days, and...have to say...Oat Overdose wins. The alcoholic in me wants to go with the beer with higher abv, but Oat Overdose, to me, was really impressive whereas Superillo was good. Not, impressive. I know my opinion will be disagreed with, but the feel and dankness of Oat Overdose was really something.

    Nope you're right Oat Overdose is better by a landslide for me. Suparillo was awesome nose with some booze, but after a week that nose was gone. I will have to say though, 2nd anniversary was the best beer they've canned. Now if only they would can Greenbacks or G is for Green every week.

    Yea I agree with the above, 2nd Anniversary > Oat Overdose > Suparillo. 2nd Anniversary is my favorite OH canned offering. Granted, I only had a growler of Street Green, but I like 2nd Anniversary more. Would love Greenbacks in cans.

    I'd take Street Green over 2nd by a hair. There was less citrus, but more dank in Streen Green. Agree that seeing G is for Green would be great.

    Couldn't agree more. Loved greenbacks the few times it was available. Was hoping I was going to see it this past weekend. Oat Overdose was an excellent substitute though.

    All you can do is check Untappd. They don't post anything about the tap list anywhere. Sucks

    Excuse my ignorance, are OH cans brewery only? Got a buddy heading down to NYC on Friday.

    Occasionally some bars will get cans, but generally its brewery only for cans, every other weekend. Growler fills are doable all over the city though

    Yes, and they generally only release them every other weekend, usually on Saturdays or Sundays. So your friend will want to try and work out a trade with somebody if he's hoping to get OH cans.

    There is no can release this week-end. No cans are available at the moment.

    Hopefully they'll be serving it at the Brewer's Choice party.

    This is good news for people having a tough time getting OH beer; $6 bottles should be easier to come by than the usual $4 cans.

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess this will be draft only in NYC as it is for NYC beer week events. Wouldn't mind being wrong but I'd be surprised if this were slated for bottles.
