    If only there was a BA forum to discuss breweries & bottle shops in the NY area. Maybe even call it the Mid-Atlantic forum. :rolling_eyes:

    On topic, has anyone tried Hubbard's Fresh V5? Sounded good to me; only reason I'm not buying is that my beer budget is going to Beer Hates Astronauts this week.

    Is it weird that I have the urge to throw that in a blender with some ice and have a pseudo beer slurpee...

    FYI, there's a Cubs-Cards game at Wrigley on Friday at 1:20. So if you're planning on grabbing BHA, Corridor, and/or Forbidden Root-plan accordingly

    heyyyyyy not really NE style (?) but since we mainly discuss Hop Butcher here and I don't know where else to post this other than starting a Hop Butcher thread, that Watch For Falling Coconuts from Hop Butcher is pretty great if you love overwhelming coconut flavor, which I definitely do, so I thought this beer was awesome.

    Is that at stores or just the tap room? I haven't seen it at any of the places I normally grab their stuff from

    Disagree.


    Also, I think everyone who has read the last few pages has picked up that you feel that way. :stuck_out_tongue:
    I only saw Warehouse post a pic of it to their IG account yesterday, but I assume that it's probably elsewhere too.
    Ahhhh that makes more sense. He's got to be having hazy IPA withdrawl there, hope it's worth it! :wink:

    Well the amount of Cantillon he has been drinking makes make me think he is ok!

    Beer Temple posted it yesterday. Not at my suburban Binny's yet. I'm not dialed in on a pattern to their distro beyond "following week"

    In fairness, I could see some spillover congestion going up towards Half Acre (really depends where you're coming from, though. I'm a mile from Wrigley, so Cubs traffic screws me almost anywhere I go).

    Fair. Were down just a couple of blocks from FR so I can avoid it. I will admit traffic being possible going up towards HA but it is HIGHLY dependent on where you are going from.

    Half Acre definitely gets a post-Cubs game bump on release days. The tap room had a significant number of people from the game during the Galactic DD release

    Half Acre is situated by two of the main E/W arteries on the way to Wrigley. It's affected by Cubs traffic.
