Other Half (November 2018)

Bastards. I heard its going to be 1pp too. Kind of hoping for at least 2pp to hang onto one for a bit but at least at 1pp it might last longer than last time.

 

That Trillium thread....wow

 

^Into this release.

 

Yeah I am wondering what kind of line there will be. Last year on Saturday the line was non-existent. Also wondering how traffic will be coming in and out of brooklyn..

 

Blazer Hazers is awesome from the can. That is all.

 

Okay, so my big takeaway from the OH thread is there arr a bunch of other threads I need to read. Is there a TLR for all of these?

 

Capitalism sucks, don't mistake hip branding for actual morals.

 

Trillium - recipe changes, slave labor and ex-employee uprising (live issue and worth reading)
Vitamin Sea - nine page slow burner that's been going on for over a year about a brewery I'm still not sure exists. It could be the most elaborate hoax in the history of craft beer. Involves at least one planted user
HF Bait & Switch - a two page love letter to premium butt-hurtedness that shows what happens when a 180 IQ english major who FUCKING LOVES rare beer misses out

 

Any news on what's left today?

Are they keeping normal hours?

 

Their story says they are open tomorrow too?

 

My buddy just left and said it was a shitshow. I know this may not help exactly but just wanted to mention it since I previously said I didnt think there would be a line today. Shouldve known better.

 

Thankful for bottle shop mules this holiday season. Got everything I wanted from yesterday without the hour+ commute (not factoring in holiday traffic or lines) within a 10 minute timeframe.

 

Worth noting that Vitamin Sea are going to be at Juicy Brews on the 8th so I think they're not just a hoax?

 

There were still 7 different can options available to go when I left about 30 minutes ago. I think “shit show” is a pretty big exaggeration. There was a line of about 20ish people for cans when I left and the taproom was about as busy as you’d expect for an afternoon before a major holiday. The problem is they only had two people for cans/growlers and another two for pours so the lines for both were moving slow in a crowded/small space. That said, I was in and out in about 20 minutes with my cans.

 

Wait a minute, $18 a bottle!?

 

Yeah joking aside I think they are. Looks like @HeyLady was one of the lucky ones to try their beer. But just such a weird thread haha

 

Hahaha fair enough. He just said there were only 2 working the counter so it was a bit of a mess.

 

For which bottle?

 

So able to go and get cans without having to wait more than 10-15? Was going to go but then saw “shitshow”
