    I'm stopping in tomorrow around that time too. Unfortunately I'll have the wife and kids with me, so I'll be in and out (hopefully).

    I'm being optimistic. I bet their will be a line at start but it'll be minimal and beer will last awhile.

    Also if anyone hasn't heard, atlantic ave is closed on both directions so you can only get there by boat.

    Wrote this post half drunk last night. I must say: embarrassing grammar on my part.

    I was half drunk when I read it, so it made perfect sense.

    Anyone hear case count? Thinking the 3 4-pack limit spreads things out vs. low case count?

    Dont know case count but it is a 3 limit. Here now, no line, small crowd drinking beer. Plenty of beer left.

    I was in and out right around that time, fastest I ever got cans there and that's saying something because it's always quick.

    Vibe seemed real chill in there, if I didn't have the wife and kids waiting outside, I would have definitely stayed for at least a pint.

    Fantastic. You can definitely tell OH put it's mark on it with that lupulin powder, but the look, smell and that danky lemon drop taste are all top notch. Still green, this will probably be even better in a week or two.

    Trying the Money Bomb, just a really nice IPA. Hearing great things about DSTT.

    I was going to say if this was the OH thread we'd have 3 pages by now of how juicy or not, hazy or not, ready to drink right now or if it needs another week or two.

    Haha exactly. As said before, the dry hopping has the mark of OH without a doubt but the yeast/grain bill is all Barrier. Its a perfect marriage of both breweries. This beer is fantastic and should get better with a week or so.

    Money Bomb was also good but DSTT was definitely the better beer.

    stopped in at Barrier around 7ish, very low key and no lines..got DSTT, and tried Money Bomb, which was fantastic..flavorful as heck..like a smack to the face to wake you up..got home and opened Technique...delicious!!...well worth grabbing, and as previously mentioned as good as it is now..in a week or two it should be through the roof good!

    Thanks guys...my buddy echoed those sentiments. Money bomb, Def best out of the bunch...

    On the OH collab- def tasted like both breweies had a hand in it.

    Can't wait to corroborate myself

    This batch of Money is exactly that.

    I didn't think the first batch in cans was up to the usual Money snuff, but this is great stuff. I'll put Barrier's entire lineup, not just the IPAs, up against any in the country. Just, a well rounded, full lineup, great brewery.

    Just tried DSTT, wow. Worth seeking out if you see it on tap (assuming cans sell out tonight).
