Nice little write up:

About 20 peope on line as of 11:40.

 

Yikes- I guess it'll be a while until cans are available at Whole Foods. Damn thing is I could have gotten some yesterday at the brewery due to the early hours, if I had only not waited until I got home to check BA. Oh well, maybe next time.

 

Just came from there, not sure how much left but they cut the limit in half.

 

Hey guys, thought this would be a good time for my first post on BA...popped by today at 1:15, picked up a 4 pack, they were on their last case.

 

They're done.

 

They posted on their Twitter more GD to come in the next few weeks! Let's get the hype train rolling!
On a different note, the de Garde they brewed with @ThreesBrewing is being tapped tomorrow at Other Half. Sounds good. Can't wait to try it. Monday release at Threes Brewing.

 

Wow that was quick. I was lucky to grab a few 4 packs yesterday--feel bad for those who missed out but glad to hear more to come. I know it was mentioned earlier in this thread, but it kinda ticks me off to see FT posts when I know people who wanted to get some for DRINKING and missed out. End rant...

 

Yeah. Just another reason to come back to the greatest city in the US though.

 

Not sure if anyone noticed but the Green Diamonds cans were just canned 2 days ago on 2/19/15. The date is printed on the bottom of the can and yes, it tastes GREAT!!!!

 

Doesn't get much fresher!

 

Thanks. Ended up getting there at 11:45ish. Grabbed (3) 4 packs and my girlfriend played with the brewery cat...so it was a win/win. Really enjoyed the Stupid Wild.

 

Anyone else going to the dinner pairing tonight?

 

Good stuff.

 

A little pre-game, huh? Enjoy dinner!

 

Ha yeah. Just cracked a second can.

 

May be a stupid question but for how long does it make sense for a brewery to outsource their canning before purchasing a system themselves? I have to assume there's some benefit from owning your own like not having to schedule around Iron Heart and being able to can when the beer is ready. I guess they could just do much larger canning runs at a single time. Like a said, may be a stupid question.

 

I'm guessing they'll be using Iron Heart for a while cause canning lines cost a lot of money and also take up a lot of space which OH doesn't have a much of.

 

I don't know the logistics and pricing costs but I would have to venture and say the biggest obstacle would have to be spacing. I wouldn't count on them getting their own until they get a bigger space.

 

Carton uses Iron Heart for all their canning. I think if you can enough, you'll get some kind of deal.
