    I don't disagree with you but there is the side where the person who is going to visit is looking for a particulr beer, and if its tapped already would probably not go. For instance, last week I went on a Sunday to get a growler of DDH Mylar. I heard huge things about it and I didnt get any cans. Luckily, someone posted earlier that it was still available. If I had gotten there after an hour and a half drive to find it wasnt on tap, I'd be dissapointed. Not pissed and not entitled, just dissapointed bc it was the sole reason for going.

    This is not to say the other beers on tap arent fantastic, but maybe I've had all the other ones and really didnt want to spend 3 hours round trip to wind up with a growler of a beer I've had 10 times.

    Seriously though, how hard is it to take a picture of the board and post it on instagram? It literally takes 30 seconds.

    I totally agree with both of you that it isn't unreasonable, rather, is actually pretty manageable and that it would be convenient for many. I just wouldn't call it sad that they don't... It's mildly annoying at worst. I should learn to stop reacting to hyperbole on the internet.

    Unrelated, for all the hype DDH Mylar is getting, DDH DMD is kicking its ass! Those cans are amazing right now.

    I guess if you make it to the bottom of a post to find the tldr, it's too late rather than too long. My mistake.

    As somone who lives semi-close, it'd be nice if they posted whenever they tapped something new...

    Just got here (9:13AM) and the line has just begun to wrap around corner of Garnet. Weather is cold in high 20s, but not completely unbearable.

    Thanks, I'll probably just wait another hour before leaving so the line dies down

    The line is moving at a decent pace. Went from corner of Garnet to corner of Centre in 20 mins.
