    I’ve been banging this drum for years. It’s a fantastic regular stout. Glad they finally started canning it last year.

    Shoot Jeff didn't realize you were there! It's been awhile.....you probably wouldn't have recognized me with hair past my shoulders.

    See, this is exactly why I hope they never go back to limiting purchase of these beers to in-person events only.

    Agreed. And optimistically they commented the other day on a social media post that they have no plans on doing so.

    Why do in person when you can send it to Tavour and have them do all the work…

    Wow, already three times the amount of posts than the SP thread. Impressive.

    I was out and about and walked by around 11, I’m bad at estimating line length but it was already past several storefronts. I saw chairs, coolers, cups, the whole deal. Felt a little nostalgic for a minute but in the end I greatly prefer the online sales.

    I’m not optimistic they held that much back though, and at 2pp I think there’s going to be a lot of disappointed people.

    I use to stand in lines also. But instead of feeling nostalgic, I feel sick that I did it as much as I had. Never again.

    If you're going to the taproom tonight:

    -If you've already had Cursed Man, I wouldn't use up the liver capacity on it. Had it last night & it's pretty dull at this point.

    -Mean Gene 2022 is...not good. The base beer is COMPLETELY overpowered by the booze/barrel. Also not worth the liver space.

    Just my 2 cents; your mileage, as always, may vary!

    They did amend the brewpub limit to 1 of each per person. Hopefully, most/all of those there were able to purchase some.
