    Parking: Street parking is available near the brewery, but it can be difficult to find an open spot. Parking a few blocks away is suggested. Please don't park at McDonalds.

    I can't believe it's October already! So when and what's going to be the first canning of the month?

    Wondering if this would even be enough to slow down the crowds :slight_smile:!

    Also, maybe enough time has passed and hype has built where i can FT: the bottle of stout I still have from last year :slight_smile:!

    A reminder that tonight, there will be a charity raffle in Brooklyn, with a prize of a tour for four people of Other Half Brewery, plus two 64-oz growlers and fills:

    http://www.beeradvocate.com/events/info/74914/

    The Brooklyn bottle shop Covenhoven is also donating a 4-pack of rare beers. The raffle takes place at 61 Local, a Brooklyn bar that specializes in fresh local brews on tap only, and is about 20 seconds walk from the subway stop.

    Has anyone opened the RWBA Stout recently? I have one still, but based on some of the comments it sounds like it will just be a drain pour. Anyone think it could possibly get any better in the bottle with further aging?
