    Shhhh!!

    Haha in all seriousness though, appears the malt bill is all Maris Otter, or at least a large chunk of it, and the hop bill is dr. rudi, nugget, mosaic and waimea. If so, thats a killer change of pace!

    Edit: saw post and the beer also had ID007. Very nice.

    Sold at Barrier instead of OH maybe?

    Exactly. The overhead and rent for barrier is lower than OH plus they have more equipment and tanks so one batch of beer doesnt take up as much space at Barrier as it would in OH, which inhibits further batches of other beers.

    I wonder if there is a chance that cans make it to the city...

    Anyone have a protip for parking? I know subway is ideally preferred option but coming from out of state and last time I did I was only really able to carry 4 4-packs plus I wanted to hit Finback this time, too. Any suggestions or secrets would be glorious and appreciated.

    I've generally had luck parking right on the street right there. But if not you can find parking within a few blocks. I put my cars and stuff back in my car and then go for some pours. Also FYI the Russian collab stouts both available as of wed

    Plenty of parking just gotta be willing to walk. I've parked as close as right in front of the door or as far as 0.5 mile or more away. Biggest tip is dont be lazy and park in mcdonalds! So many douche bags doing this lately, and I've noticed they are all overweight and lazy.

    Sounds like McDonald's patrons you're describing....

    On 2 can Saturdays vs. 4 can Saturdays is it the same total amount of beer? I mean I know that it probably varies slightly from batch to batch depending on yield and boil off etc, but does anyone know if, for instance, tomorrow there will be roughly as much beer as last weekend, only spread out over 3 beers rather then 4?

    Haha well maybe they go to Micky D's after but the majority of people I see walking to the McDonalds parking lot during a release, at least out of the three releases I've been to in the last 2 months, have been overweight and struggling to carry their 3 or 4 cases. I don't understand this. There is plenty of parking. Walking is probably the lowest issue on their totem pole. Bring something to carry your multiple cases in (I see many people with rolling coolers, great idea) and stop being so fucking lazy.

    I think he was being facetious about their traditional customer base but yeah it is a shame that people abuse the fact that it is in such close proximity.

    Yeah, that's what I was figuring, but they charge 16 for their usual fare.... thought DDH factor would jack up the price a bit...
