    I would think today should be pretty low key but I'm sure I'll be wrong.

    I think it was gone in less than an hour tbh.

    Also, photo of the new setup and what was left at the time. I guess not too much Simcoe:

    It's hard to judge because the crowd was light, but I think the new room is going to be a massive improvement. I was dreading a really slow line because of the # of beers on offer today and it moved pretty briskly. Kudos OH team!

    Line went pretty smoothly, was able to get it, get my case of Mylar, and out. Think it sold out not too much past that.

    Drinking the Hazelnut one now. Pretty impressed. Definitely one of their best stouts. The bourbon is pretty prevalent but I like that.

    If you're not in line right now, you're not getting any beer.
