    Before you ask - this one may be a "get-there-before-noon"-er if you want guaranteed Street Green. Also, expect lines. Plenty of OH fans, myself included, have never had a Trillium beer and this is the closest we can come without trading.

    Haters should be alerted that OH is brewing another IPA with Equinox, who cares if Trillium is involved!

    What's up with the hate for Equinox? Lagunita's Equinox was excellent, in my opinion.

    I said the exact same in another thread. I'm just teasing the people around here.

    Next release happens to be my birthday. Excited, but not to wait in line as early as I'm thinking.

    Really hope they release Street Green in the taproom during the week. Would be nice to just pick up a growler.

    Anyone swing by this weekend to provide some info on Hudson Valley IPA?

    Agree. I'd much rather just head over Friday night for a pour/growler than wait for an hour+. Really hope they tap some as well.

    16 cans p/p seems about right. @Kanger any idea if this is a result of a smaller batch or lowered limit in anticipation of the impending shitshow?

    Just an hour+? Ill take that any weekend. Ill be one of the a**holes going to their first OH release this weekend. Which will probably make it a 3 hour wait....

    Another good IPA using 2 row malt. Has a nice smooth mouth feel.

    Shitshow measures.
