    If a brewery doesn't come out with a lactose haze juice bomb called "Milk Beard" 2018 will go down as highly disappointing. Please reach out to your local politicians to make this a reality. At the very least, @Kanger can we get this stamped onto the bottom of some cans?

    Bought an ACE 4 pack. While I loved 3rd and 4th anni I would take this every time

    I'd be surprised if anything lasted all day (unless there's some surprise double batch) but I also think everything will last to the end of the line.

    So if I show up ~10 I should be ok? Only my 2nd time going to OH, I went last week 2 1/2 hrs early and missed the 2nd and 3rd

    This should be easier than that. Last week was kind of the "ultra hyped" anomaly that a few releases are.

    Oh ok that makes sense. I missed 2nd/3rd by about 20 people, not sure I can go through that trauma again. Thanks!

    Ha, I hear you. On the bright side 2nd is underwhelming and you can get both in the taproom if you didn't have them in the past! 4th is far and away the best of the bunch.

    True dat. Just cracked a can of 4th and wow. So mellow for a ten percenter, has evolved nicely.

    While we know SD&W is possibly the best stout OH has ever done, I don't see any way it doesn't last all weekend or at least to open on Sunday. People are not going to go case crazy on it especially if Astro Sackfoot is still available to start the day. It's not hazy, barrel aged, or in an overpriced bottle format.

    EDIT: also likely has little trade value

    You're probably right and if I knew case counts I'd probably agree with you, but sometimes people gotta chase dat 'nilla.

    Here to say this batch of ACE is tasting as amazing as ever. Keep the staples coming and I’ll never line up for another collab or one off again.

    Actually looking at the lineup for tomorrow again, I actually will be surprised if anything sells out before mid afternoon. The early birds will just be looking for the scraps of ACE if its still around, nothing else stands out IMO aside from the aforementioned SD&W.

    Got to do a side by side tasting of 3rd vs 4th anniversary tonight (with help). Even with the help, damn these 10%ers go down dangerously easy. I remember thinking OH couldn't top 3rd anni, even though they came really close with a few releases last yr (all infinity everything being one of them). But then this 4th rolls up and holy moly... they outdid themselves with this one. Same abv, yet brighter, not as thick, incredible fruity aroma with just a touch of the 'dank', and somehow tastier. It's not just the 10% talking here.. this is the best beer I think I've ever had.

    sidenote.. two of the three of us preferred the 3rd anni to the 4th.

    I had a can of 3rd the day after I had a can of 4th, and as great as it is, I thought 4th was notably better.

    Also, OH is approaching 100K followers on IG. Wonder if they will do something special for it.

    For those of you that kept a can of the 3rd for a year, how was it? Did it fall off?

    People did this? Obviously people can do whatever they want with their beer, but seems like a bit of a waste
