    I could very well be bugging right now, but I'm getting a strong pineapple/coconut flavor off of my 3rd Anniversary cans. Just drank a DDH Space Diamonds before this, and 3rd Anniversary is tasting like a pina colada comparatively right now.

    My palette and taste buds could be wrecked at the moment, but you won't find me complaining about it.

    3rd Anniv beer still on tap?, and if so, are they filling growlers, or just pours only?

    I noticed that they've been using a lot of Vic Secret lately (last week, the Kent Falls collabs..)
    Should we expect something more Vic-Secret-Centric, or maybe a double hops VS-Galaxy?

    I really thought I was gonna sit this one out, but those bottles look tempting.

    I still think this will be a pretty quiet release even with the bottles.

    Same, Red wine IAL was my favorite bottle. I don't think I can pass this up. Hopefully can grab a bottle Sunday.

    Travel Question (from Manhattan):
    So I've been to plenty of releases where I've taken the F train to Smith Street. Last time I tried, I learned it was down and had to take the R and then walk 0.7 miles.... MUCH WORSE, especially on the way back with a beer haul.

    Does anyone know if the F is running again on Saturdays?

    Last weekend the F took you to Hoyt Schermerhorn, where you could make a quick transfer to the G that would stop at Smith Street. Not so bad, but my round trip from Herald Square still was 2+hours

    Non-beer related, but neighborhood related....

    Does anyone know if the guy from Hometown BBQ in Red Hook nixed his plans for the fried chicken place? I know it was in the works last year but haven't really seen or heard anything of recent.

    According to Eater the planned opening is in April. Durney's IG feed has some early shots of the pollo frito and biscuits and it looks goooooooood.
