    Its very good - The Coconut is up front n white chocolate on the back. Smooth n drinkable, not boozy at all. Could be a little thicker IMO but overall a good Stout

    Looks like it switched the following day of its release.

    I had a buddy swing by day of release and was only allowed to buy 1.

    That's why I asked

    It was 5 per Tuesday. It went much quicker than anticipated, pretty long line at opening and most coming in left with full allotments. There was a very limited amount for Wednesday so the limit was cut to 1 PP so more people could at least get a bottle. Even with it at 1 PP it sold out quickly. Peeps love dem Stouts.

    Releases are on Tuesday now, have been for a few months. It was cut to 1 on Wednesday because there was so little left.

    I see perception is reality distributed in cans in local stores. It was alwasy only vine shine and low vis. Does anyone know if they are starting other distribution or did they just have "extra"?

    They are adding it to the rotation of distro beers alongside VS and LV something like quarterly.

    Magnify's anniversary lineup looks really solid, so I'm thinking of heading down on Saturday to pick some stuff up. Does anyone have recommendations for kid friendly activities nearby so we can make a day of it?

    Turtle Back Zoo isn't too far and its pretty nice. There's a mini golf right next door, and there's a zip line / tree-top adventure complex next door (separate cost from zoo)

    My kid is two so ziplining and mini golf is probably out, but the zoo looks great. Thanks for the suggestion.

    The Zoo is a good suggestion (probably 25-30 minute drive). Two other places you may want to consider if you wanted to be closer, Funtime Junction in Fairfield is an indoor arcade/amusement park with rides and games and Dave and Busters in Wayne (Willowbrook Mall) is another option. Both probably within a 5 minute ride of Magnify.

    There's also a nice park/playground close to the zoo (Regatta Playground) that may be nice if the weather works out.

    If you're looking for something simple and right nearby, Grover Cleveland Park in Caldwell is about 5min from Magnify. There's a brand new playground there that is really nice. There are also fields and a duck pond that my kids always like to play at.

    Cricket Hill Brewing is 2 minutes away. I'm sure your child would love that.
    Then go to the zoo.
    For a two year old the Zoo at Van Saun park might be better. They have a great playground, carousel and train ride.
    It is further away than turtle Back zoo, but it will have you headed back towards NY.

    We've actually been to Van Saun a bunch of times. My son loves it when we go there especially because we usually go to Glaze doughnuts afterwards haha.

    Thanks for all the suggestions. Turtleback Zoo is probably the frontrunner, but we might just bring him to one of the playgrounds mentioned depending on the time.

    I guess I should also probably ask how are the beers?

    Anyone crack any of the anniversary IPAs yet? Any of the trademark Mag burn?

    Thanks in advance
