    I was there a little after eleven and there was no line.

    such a chill release. rode up with my bike and grabbed 3 four packs.

    chillness might be short lived i think there is a trillium collab in the near future based on some leaked labels.. i like to call that growler week.

    Think chillness is a result of LIC release this week? And the fact that you no longer need to be in line by 8am to get beers at OH.

    Just got here, bought 2 4pks of Ace. No line. The tap room is quite crowded.

    Probably has more to do with Syracuse getting the bulk of the releases. LIC was chill too.

    Going to Equilibrium today made me question why I've ever waited in a line at OH. Yes, you still wait but the experience is 100x better and so are the beers.

    Looked like window for ACE cans is closing, taproom awfully crowded but that growler line is super efficient so don't be dissuaded if that's what you're looking to get.

    I wouldn't blame Syracuse. Bother forever Simcoe and mylar recent releases were met with some distaste.

    Unless you mean people driving from upstate NY to Brooklyn.

    Yeah I did. Really good but I’d say I prefer the “regular” DDH ACE. This has a little more burn/bite

    There’s a more suitable placement for the comment. Unless the intention is to draw attention elsewhere

    Never tried to return a growler but have a few stacked up. Presumably no issue bringing a few in and getting the deposit back? I think this will be like the second time I’ve ever returned growlers anywhere. And never seen anyone do it at OH. I’m anticipating potential eye rolling

    Haha mind reader. My wife found a way to track beer on mint. It’s ushered in a reign of terror

    Haha. Mine keeps asking me to keep a ledger of all beer purchases. I told her I’d rather not know. Doesn’t really affect the reign of terror either way.

    Really enjoying the the ACE-UK. Was like a glass of funky pineapple juice. So nice to be able to stroll up and grab such a great beer.

    Same. The porter is average, nothing special. But I like the bite on the UK version. Also, hard to believe its 10% abv. It doesn't taste too boozy.
