    Watching the various stages of @jrnyc reacting to this obviously subpar batch of ACE, has an incredible amount of overlap with our governmental leadership’s reaction to the current global pandemic

    1. Fake news
    2. People overreacting - it’s no big deal
    3. OK maybe there’s something to all this but it will quickly get better

    This is the kind stuff we need in these uncertain times. Love it.

    I had some IPAs yesterday but switched it up and cracked open a bottled 2016 Dupont Saison. Nice change of pace and real refreshing. Looks like I wont be in brooklyn this weekend and unsure of the next time I will be. Drink all that Forever Simcoe for me. While I am stuck over here I think I am going to start going through some other style stuff I have been sitting on, cheers!

    Really love Green City, whenever we go to Alamo Drafthouse its on tap and I get that. It looks like ROC is getting DDH Green City, unless the BK version is DDH and they never said. But if it is a different version, id love to try that

    Went to visit the taproom at 8:15am after finding out Whole Foods was seniors only 8am-9am. The setup was great with gloves, wipes, pens, menus and smiling faces.

    It's a stark reminder of our reality when there are zero people in line at OH on Saturday morning and the line at Whole Foods wraps around the block.

    Dump your 4 star beers, light your Cubans with your $1,000 congressional checks, TP the neighbor's trees with your stockpile, and watch the world burn.

    The relative silence here seems evidence to me we are energized to share with others when we have frequent interactions with others.

    Drank my last Hop Showers, man that was a nice batch! Not even stressin' it cause there's Green City cans out. Love the frequent beer drops and hope they continue doing this rolling release thing!

    Free delivery ain't free.

    The beers available don't match the beers for sale on their IG, Mo+Mo was awhile go.

    Nice set up this morning with all your sanitizer needs covered

    confused as they said Mylar arch sold out, despite being in the IG post and story - very, very minor complaint given current state of the world

    theres usually a delivery fee added at check out, so the cost raise of the product wouldn't be for that. I am sure a % of the sale goes to the app, as Grimm pointed out, however they didn't raise costs of their cans I believe.

    Yeah the list seemed odd with some right and some wrong. At first I thought it was a preview of this weeks releases but it also seemed like a poorly done effort setting up a mobile shop. Unclear what I should take from this finding other than at cost+2 I'll just walk over there.

    When I click the link it says free delivery on the top left. I never used door dash before so I don't know how it really works.

    Free delivery means like one of their charges is waived. There are still a couple others

    Drinking the last of my anniversary cans at the moment (4th, if that matters).

    Think I’m good on double-digit ABV IPAs for the rest of my life.

    Ah, I thought maybe the 2 bucks extra per 4pack was a the delivery fee.

    On Caviar at least it’s cost + tax + service fee + delivery fee + tip

    Personally I'm not in the city anymore so I don't have any Other Half to drink and discuss.
