    Here is some constructive criticism for you.

    * You got off to a good start with creating the sign-up sheet, although I dont think it was accessible in the beginning.

    * You needed to pick an exact time and date, that apparently never happened.

    * Once you have exact time and date, you need to publicize a week or two in advance so people can plan, maybe every couple of days make a post to remind people.

    And hype it, get people excited on who will be there, for example:

    @rozzom will be there to heckle people who drink the tose.

    @frozyn will get the party pumping with his dance moves

    @dhaakon and @RobNewton will do a collab where they work together on calculating how much time all of us have wasted on this forum

    @BoardwalkBock will shotgun a can of Hop Showers and smash the empty can against his face

    and I will regale people with tales of how I survived Prohibition.

    Checking this week I wasn’t sure if it was today or tomorrow, and then definitely had no idea what time it was.

    I’ve been sick for three days straight so I wasn’t able to make it anyways, but would still attend an April day.

    Polar opposite result that I wanted

    Got snowbirds. Didn’t get ace. Got served by the guy @afroskully saw delivering the other day - he said a bunch of ace went to Rochester....

    Edit - can safely predict that @Feaor doesnt work in event planning

    Should I just plan the rain check for the next Sixpoint release so people (aka @jrnyc @frozyn and @EnthusedAboutBeer) are basically guaranteed to show up?

    I'll buy you a beer at the "Monthly @Feaor OH Meetup" in April. I'll get the spreadsheet up when I'm home later

    Andrew said its a blend of 3 Barrel aged Stouts I believe, Idk beyond that, it was incredible, really great barrel character. I think its a straight up no adjuncts beer too but not sure.

    Snowbirds3 should be re named sugar bombs3. I couldn’t pull the trigger on a bottle. Does it age amazingly or am I missing something. ACE is amazing and I’m sad I missed the cans. Cryosleep is a nice consolation prize.

    You tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it doesn't even matter.

    It’s well documented that the more choices a human being has, the less happy he/she is. Having said that, if AGE (especially this recent batch) was the only offering OH put forth on a regular basis, I’d still be a return customer every month. As long as Mylar bags was also an option, of course.

    My favorites were C59, Haze, Present Moment and Doppleganger. C59 was the best DIPA I’ve had in years. Present Moment was a killer pale too.

    Alright hotshot...

    Ok so if @rozzom is on his amateur road bike starting out 1.7 miles away traveling at an average of 17.643 mph and he leaves around 3:30pm on a Saturday.

    The Other Half line is running low on some whales and lactose beers and has already shipped 80% of ACE to rochester to increase demand and because it hates locals. the line is 15 people deep with 2 cashiers who average 2 customers per 3 minutes.

    The Other Half tap room line is 10 patagonias deep and running low on imperial berliner weisses with 3 cashiers.

    3 problems. be sure to explain your answers.

    How many calories does at rozzom burn? how many lactose vs non lactose beers can he have to cancel out?

    does he have time to grab cans and join the BA meetup and still retain his marraige? if so what is the maximum time allowed?

    given that at rozzom has a closet lacto-hazeboi palette. what are the chances he gets a 12 oz pour of the latest fruited double imperial munich weisse? how bout a 4 oz pour.

    30 minutes until pencils down.
