    Guessing there's still a significant line at this point too?

    And I bet Nummy Nug Nug is better than any of today’s releases.

    Got stuck in Coney Island and “forced” to go to Totonnos for lunch. Don’t want to miss out on city slickers. I will mule a Totonnos pie for anyone who can snag me a 4 pack!

    Jesus! Even better than I remember. Juicy, melon dank, unbelievable flavor for a relatively low abv. How did this beer last for 3 days?

    Drove by and place was absolutely mobbed. Didn’t even try to find parking. Went straight to Folksbier.

    Low abv, the bucks are in flipping the high abv at twice the price.

    Weird, I left at 1ish and it really wasn't bad at all. There was essentially no line for cans with plenty of cans left for a few of the beers and the taproom, while busy, wasn't "crowded" like OH can get on a Saturday.

    Sorry, I'm already gone! It was great meeting you and hanging out last night at Grand Delancey. @jrnyc might be jealous of your joined date and him losing some status! Also thanks @Xerlic , @gattaca , @SpinSamzo , @stevebrownsteve (weird there's also an @stevebrown ), @fdonnelly , and @Feaor for coming out! Grand Delancey is a beautiful space inside of an extremely spacious market with tons of cool food options. I'm surprised it wasn't busier on a Friday night even if we were a little early!

    edit: @guinness77 it's really good! I'm also surprised it's lasted this long. It's among their best offerings at that ABV. I think the last one I enjoyed this much was DDH Go With the Flow and I think I mentioned several times how good that was!

    Anyone have a recent idea of what’s left (beyond what’s on insta which is an hour+ old). With a bunch of stuff selling out, the weather, and bodhi having headed straight to Folksbier - contemplating just having a pint of Suarez at Owl farm then buying a bottle of - urgh - wine to drink with my Victoria’s secret-level (not the hop) smoking hot wife tonight

    Thanks man. This is solid. The bus came already and so I got on - but this validates for sure

    There was a tiny line at 2:45 and I was able to grab a 4 of slickers without muleing any pizza.

    sorry to miss last nights festivities. See you at the next one.

    shit this place is packed. Either rob newton has Stockholm syndrome or this place mobbed up after he left. Looked for you but didn’t see you. I’m standing in front of growler/merch check out area - I’m just chugging a 4oz and then got to get home

    I'm not crazy about this batch of City Slickers. It has kind of a pickeled watermelon rind flavor that dominates the taste. It's definitely smooth and interesting, but weird.

    Had a taster; not a fan. I thought Centre was the best I tried today, but no cans. Bought some oat overdose, which I didn’t try first, so hopeful it measures up.

    Sadly, no rauch biers to be had.

    It seems to be accepted based on postings that the anniversary will not be next week, but in 2 weeks. Any actual confirmation? I'm lazy, but wasn't last year one Saturday collab release after a week of rebrews then another week of rebrews and the anniversary?
