    They told me last week their original plan fell through recently. Not sure if this is the backup or if it was the original all along. Cool location if true!

    Anyone return MoO yet? I'm considering giving it until the weekend and if not improved, schlepping my cans back over to the brewery.

    They post on FB, Twitter and Instagram for every release. For the normal Thursday can release they typically post sometime on Tuesday afternoon/evening and for the growler fills and leftover cans they post the day of (Fri, Sat, Sun).

    I tried one of my cans 3 days ago and I couldn't take more than two sips. So green, it's like licking a hop vine. Had to pour that one out for the homies...

    Yea, I cant keep doing that same thing. Andrew at the brewery said theyd sort me out for my remaining cans, so every can opened which sucks...I'm down $5.50. Really fucking hope this beer finds itself this week.

    At least Andrew offered you a refund. I had poor experiences with brewery beers (i.e. Trillium, Veil, etc.) and was completely ignored/not getting the time of day. I have heard horror stories of people getting yelled at and chastised for even rating a brewery's beer on untappd low (i.e. the brewer at Veil to a customer). All I am trying to say is that their Customer Service is one of the best I have seen at a brewer/business.

    Last thing, I overheard one of the owners saying that they stopped accepting refunds from people who 'drained poured' and didn't bring in cans because they say multiple people who asked for refunds trade their 'drained pour' beers. Hence, having to bring in the remaining cans.

    Very appreciative of their responsiveness and understand their approach to this. Short of it is, I think we all want MoO to take a right turn and graduate to the beer that we've had before.

    How have the Thursday releases been lately? This will be my first attempt due to a rare Thursday off. How long does it usually take for them to get through the initial rush?

    I've been pretty far back and don't think I've ever been there past 3:30, the line moves pretty fast.

    That astonishes me. Do you have links to threads or anything where people are talking about this? I don't doubt it happened, just curious about some of the details and how often it happens with the Veil specifically.

    I have a friend whom was one of the people who was spoken too. Will not give out his/her name.

    Not a single one. All three beers were spot on. Laser Raptors was the first beer that spent time in a brite tank.

    I think I recall them saying at least one of them went in the brite tank.
