    Hope this is true. I'm fine if they just kegged their best beers. These can releases seem pointless unless you want to waste half your day off waiting in a line watching people toss trash on the street.

    Any body have any info on how to get a sixtel from these guys? I heard someone saying you can e-mail them and place an order for one.

    I tried once via email and I never got a response. I'd call them first.

    Getting any sort of kegs from them even as a bar is a pain in the ass, haven't gotten them to go north of 96 even for a huge order.

    good. not that i really care cause i've mostly stopped going to these, but if people honestly think the NYPD or whoever should be allocating MORE resources to a handful of fucking neckbeards drinking heady on the street a couple times a month, i honestly think they're out of their mind.

    Do you work for a bar or distributor or store? Curious where those kegs would go north of 96th. Staying in Washington Heights can be a bit of a bummer due to to the treks one has to make to get to the good beer.

    I tend to agree with you, but there is a concern if people are lining up at 7 and drinking 6+ ABV beers for 3 straight hours and getting in a car. Not saying this is necessarily the case, just playing devils advocate.

    This is good news and it's probably only a matter of time before Brooklyn follows suit. But let's be honest, cops don't care anyway - I've seen them drive past several times at every release and nothing has ever happened. And it shouldn't, because it's a total waste of resources.

    Well, DUIs are still illegal.
