    Yes, but it appears growlers for about only have the board, maybe less, which sucks. There's a definite push to sell more beer through the taproom these days.

    So you're telling me a brewery that packages a large majority of their beers in cans is selling an $18 bottle opener?

    That bottle opener is actually pretty cool, I just don't know if it's $18 cool.

    I would say its MAYBE $8 cool... if i had a couple in me id probably justify spending $8.. no more than that

    Trying to figure out how much I’ll tip for an $18 bottle opener. Prob about 4 bucks. Strikes balance between saying “I value you guys” without coming across as a sucker

    Here’s hoping those cans will last a sec. is Florida Plates available for growler fills? Can’t recall from last visit... would make for a nice thanksgiving dessert beer.

    That was my thought, $18? Is it gold plated or something? Damn. Of course dem hazeboiz are already planning to purchase 30 each and resell for $40 each to even more suckers.

    Hmm, I'm betting the advanced announcement gives everyone enough time to head in for some pre-Thanksgiving #linelifing. Haven't most mid-week release been announced day of or day before?

    I was there around five last night, neither collab was available for growler fills.

    Had a pour of DDH Forever Simcoe at Hops Hill yesterday.

    People were not kidding about how different this batch is from the last one. I was shocked at how clear it is and it did not taste nearly as good as before

    I'd think a Wednesday afternoon release would be crazier just taking into account common schedule changes around the holiday.

    That is a boss bottle opener but $18 is absolutely ridiculous and pretty disappointing for my favorite brewery in the tri-state*. Looks like it's a $6-8 piece.

    *Not that I'll stop buying their beer.

    Had my growler of Mylar Daydream tonight, agreed with some observations that it was a little green/hot. Will def pick up another growler to hold for a couple weeks. Of course, if you got any other imperial oat cream IPA from OH in cans I think you're covered.

    Despite my previous public pronouncements that I will not be contributing to #linelyfe, my old man is in town Tuesday and we have a light schedule that includes smoking turkey parts in the AM, and will now conclude with some afternoon beers chilling on Smith Street. Forgive me y'all I am weak.
