    Anyone going tomorrow that has thought HopHands has sucked lately, or has a diactyl taste? I'm not going, but would be interested to see if they've corrected the problem yet with the HH cans.

    I know. Luckily, I'm about to have 5 weeks off so I might do a family day down in Philly and then head over to Tired Hands.

    Uh oh, a variable I did not consider. I was anticipating shorter lines at the releases during the summer months from the effect of the out of state students at the Main Line schools heading home for the summer. I did not anticipate the effect on the lines of those with professions that are off during the summer that now have the freedom to go. The College aged kids will be replaced by Educators, Politicians, Professional Basketball Players, Ski Instructors, Tax preparers, Male Nannies, and High School Gym Teachers. Bettter get there at noon today just to be safe.

    I'm pretty sure all the restaurants stay open in the summer

    I think I might head down today... heading to Firefly tomorrow, this will be perfect session beer for the weekend.

    Oh boy... I already hear the Instagram army revolting. Might need to pick up some pretzels, unsalted of course, the internet will have plenty of that in spades.

    I wonder if they meant 190 of hop hands. 90 seems strange.

    I don't like those high limits but I think I've still got a chance at Hoi Polloi though.

    Has anyone here had it when it was previously brewed?

    Solid 25. The weather outside is less than desirable.
