    I'm not really understanding the 0 IBU beer. Can someone enlighten me?

    I'm gonna watch BA and hopefully get there at 1030 and wait 40 minutes for a 4 pack of each

    The longer hops boil, the more they lose nuances of flavor and just become bitterness (measured in bitterness units, or IBUS and in regard to flavor, not unlike tea). Acknowledging that more of us prefer the vibrant flavor of late additions to a prominent bitterness, this beer is probably all late additions. Make a wort, drop it to 180 or so, throw some hops in, cool it a bit, add the juice, call it a day. In some regard, these beers are more hoppy/juicy cream ales than they are ipas.

    Comparatively with hoppy beer from Maine Beer or Singlecut, you're paying almost $32 for the same volume of hoppy beer....

    Cans and bottles are only available from the brewery? They don't distribute?

    Generally speaking, that is correct. Occasionally, bottles that don't sell out quickly at the brewery can make it into the wild, but it would be an extreme case for cans to be distributed (at least in NYC).

    You will see some (questionable) stores re-selling cans they purchased themselves, but often at a heavy premium.

    Very very very very limited and select distro. Case here and case there.

    Beer Street has been getting cans pretty regularly for onsite consumption which is pretty nice.

    Guessing at least Baby Diamonds will last till later in the day right? If these are all regular size batches that's a hell of a lot of cans they will be selling saturday morning. Are people really gonna max out on all 4 beers? Can't imagine that.

    If you maxed out on all beers that would be $358. Just another day in paradise

    Everyone be sure to tell your taskrabbit there's a minimum carry weight requirement

    An interesting slate of releases this week. They're certainly experimenting quite a bit and with some intriguing collabs.

    I do miss the single-hop IPAs though.
