    They should offer these mixed 12 packs for pick-up as well. I wouldn't buy one with since they keep putting lactose beers in the mix, but if they were to do mixed 12s of just normal IPAs, I would be all over that.

    Considering the massive selection currently available, it'd be amazing if OH could do something similar to Tree House On The Fly. But just like wishing for single cans, won't hold my breath

    Haha thanks! Man, i'd kill for a 4th anniversary rebrew right now!

    This would be a really great thing, I really loved the per can method the times I've been to Tree House and Trillium in the past. Right now it would be the best time to test it out, with lower foot traffic and more pickup/delivery. I get the logistics of maintaining stock levels for deliveries (days out) shipping orders and pick up orders would be even harder, but they already have a system in place to do it on a per 4 pack basis... we can only hope

    Ok... the fruit was so good I’m going back for more. There’s so much available right now... what else has been tasting good to y’all?

    What’d you end up grabbing? I’m headed down to NC for a month on Saturday, plan to bring a few 4pks if there’s anything notable

    Baby diamonds was canned last week and I needed a few delicious pacer beers.

    Haven’t been in a while. Picked up some Vapor Rings and Space Daydream today.

    Having a Space Daydream now. Do all OH beers now have this melon aftertaste? Not really a complaint, pretty tasty. Just tastes vastly different from OH beers from about a year ago.

    Does anyone know if you're allowed to keep your car parked in the Rochester location's lot overnight?

    Ask @Comparison_Ford what he thinks of melon juice.

    But yeah, they're coaxing it out of the yeast quite a bit more frequently now than they have in the past.

    Because driving drunk is not cool man. That's my guess anyways. I'm often happy that I don't have to drive when I leave the BK taproom.

    Yup. I'd rather Uber back to my AirBNB and then Uber back in the morning to get my car.

    So does anyone know if it's allowed?

    Why not just take an Uber there?

    Yeah I guess I just couldn’t think of a reason why someone would drive there and leave a car overnight anymore. If you’re close enough to Uber home you’re close enough to Uber there in the first place.

    Might have to shoot them a call, this thread is all NYC Metro Area fans, not sure where the Western NY fans hang out.

    Before anyone answers any questions we need to understand the dynamics at play to see if this qualifies for a proper response.

    @Sorithin can you give us a play by play that will make sense of the plan to drive to brewery, Uber back to airbnb and then Uber to car in morning? Vs just ubering from/to Airbnb with the car left there?

    Cos - joking aside - if the reasoning is being a responsible driver, latter route avoids you getting in the 3 x beer “I’m fine to drive” situation

    Come on all, let's not forget the economics of Uber -- what time will @Sorithin be going to FLX, what does an Uber cost then vs. the next morning to retrieve the car. It may be much more cost effective to drive there, Uber home, and then Uber back the next morning. On the flip side, it could also be much more expensive to do that as there may be far fewer Ubers ranging the FLX region first thing in the morning.

    Can someone located in the region please do a comparison of costs over the next few days? We need better data in order to best inform guests to this thread about their plans to drink beers at OHFLX.

    Great point @frozyn

    @Sorithin what dates you going? If we check the weather forecast that will have a say too; we can anticipate possible weather related surge pricing

    I noticed the same thing when drinking Hop Deluge. It reminded me of what EQ has been doing to their beers, but it wasn't overly done. I really liked it.

    Man, you guys are joking about the weather, but the lake effect is very real in that region of NY. I remember trudging to class in the snow more often than not. It flurried the day I went home for the summer in my freshman year of college.
