    Too many floaties to give an accurate prediction.

    To all the whiners, drink the beer from the can like you're supposed to. One less fragile teku you have to wash.

    Heady topper is as delicious as it's ever been. If the floaties are a symtptom of scaled up production I'll take it 11 out of 10 times vs package store hunting.

    No one has a crystal ball, but ...

    They've had the same limits for a long time now, so my guess is they have a lot beer. They have not "sold out" of anything this week or last.

    Last week Friday was very mellow (as was Wednesday) ... referring to mid afternoon both cases. Friday was day befor UVM graduation so thought their might be an uptick, but no.

    Weather is continued crappy tomorrow, should help.

    Surprised to see such blowback about floaters. My kids think they are the hops and look for them with any beer I pour. Doesn't affect the taste and honestly, adds depth and character to a beer.

    Stoked to hear that the onsite experience is cool. Was lucky to Waltz in and out of the Alchemist over 5 years ago before heady spotter was a thing. Glad to hear the dust has settled.

    Ouroboros - 6 per person posted to Alchemist website today ... Assume the usual youtube video will follow and the fb post with how long they think it will be on ... 6 per means they made a large batch based on past experience.

    I am happy with "the usuals" being on but I got there about a week after Skadoosh 5 kicked and left a week before Ouroboros came on. Bad timing ... (third world problem for sure!)

    Heady will never go out of style for me. Just had a can yesterday for the first time in months and it is better than ever.

    Ive never seen heady in a bottle before. Why or how is that a thing?
