    I can’t speak to how busy it is currently, but if you’re just getting cans I can’t see it taking more than 20-30 minutes tops.

    @TheNinthLetter there were two people doing cans/growlers and two people doing pours (which truthfully isn’t ideal). The biggest issue that I could tell was that they were only letting people come in through the main door so it kinda bottle necks until you’re actually inside. They easily could have opened the other door by where they sell cans and merch and had a sign letting people know which door was for what to create better flow and seperate the lines.

    I rarely hang out in the taproom anymore as it always seems overly crowded and understaffed, but getting cans wasn’t too bad.

    Side note, caught up on that Trillium thread on the subway back from OH and boy is it a doozy. Highly recommend 10/10.

    Businesses should be worker owned and operated or at least have an elected representative on the decision making board, don't @ me

    I mean that's how they've been pricing all of their Pastry Stout bottles now, its driven me away from buying them since most of them aren't good enough to be worth $18.

    Yeah I jumped the gun with that reaction, went back and saw most of their overly adjunct’d collabs are priced at $18...

    I’ll save my money for the inevitable $24 BA Snowbirds.

    Sorry for the shitshow scare. I will have a stern talking to with my buddy on what defines a shitshow.

    Just left. Got there and it was manageable... minimal wait for cans. But as I was leaving line tripled.

    Does anyone know if Other Half is paying employees time and a half for Thanksgiving? My buddy at the Times wants to know.

    Blazer Hazers is great. Not as sharp as previous basketball offerings but damn smooth and nicely balanced. Between this, space daydream and Mylar, my fridge has never tasted this collectively good.

    Guessing that a Trillium collab is off the table for the time being

    We're just spoiled now, if it isn't a hit and run affair we gripe. If you go on Superbowl Sunday you wait 15min too, beer nerds have have to bring the big guns to feast days.
