    I just don't want to make the drive there to be honest. More for you guys.

    The price point is fine - I would have bought it, but it's too far of a drive these days, so I skipped it.

    Wake me when they release an adjunct-free barrel aged stout. There's got to be one this year, right?

    Midnight Choir just released, no adjuncts unless you consider a nitro can nitrogen infusion an adjunct?

    I honestly didn't think that the nitro can did much for the already fantastic BA stout that HA put into a nitro can.

    I didn't realize that was adjunct free! I guess I need to wake myself up.

    haha! Then, I guess that I am your alarm clock?

    Yeah, midnight Choir is delicious barrel juice without any candy added!

    I don't know if the app itself is confusing or if I'm just dumb but I constantly confuse the time when pickup starts for the time the beer is going up for order lol. I thought this was just releasing now :sob:

    That’s why I was posting that week that I was surprised about the turnout. I guess most other people just want the adjuncts. Was happy to drink it all afternoon low key!

    Due to Half Acre's website listing it I am on-site now to try Midnight Choir...but it's not on draft anymore. Yeah, I'm kinda salty.

    I would have gone full Karen. “Pardon me, what does this say on your website? Midnight what? Choir? Oh, but you are saying you dont have it? But your site does? When did you run out? Uhuh, but you failed to update the site for a few weeks? I think you’ll need to go into the cellar and grab me a can or get the manager. Did you hear about the 6 Corner Walgreens incident in 2014? Yeah, I’m about to make that look like a church picnic if you don’t have a glass of Midnight Choir singing to me in 5.”

    It got me again too. Same as midnight choir. In Fairness to myself, I am out of town for work, and I shouldn’t have had time anyway due to work, so maybe I wasn’t meant to get it. But still really bummed and disappointed.

    Man, I'd really like to buy that DB Catch Hell glass. But I believe the last glass I bought where I told myself no more glassware was the last Catch Hell glass. I was really hoping it was gone when I looked at their shop tonight...

    What are everyone's thoughts on Before Land Shook? Where does it fall vs the rest of the lineup like Catch Hell, Benthic and barleywines?
    I missed out trying it at FOBAB last year, hopefully they'll bring it again.
