    Xeal and I are sitting at the corner of the bar. It's like double parked pack, if that makes sense

    Does anyone know if the taproom will be open on Saturday? I can't imagine they'd close and lose all that $$$. While unlikely, I am hoping some cans may make it to open on Saturday as I won't be able to swing by tonight or tomorrow.

    Got the after 6. Waited in line 25 minutes or so and they still had everything.

    I'm thinking the allotments may have been too low.

    I doubt there will be cans on Saturday, I don’t think cans will last tonight much less Friday. But I’m almost certain they are open Saturday.

    That IG post is confusing as hell, but I think there are cans and bottles and they're just excited to have sold out of event tix. Anyway, I'm heading over with the wife and dog in a bit and will report back on the to-go selection if someone else doesn't sooner.

    Sooo will there be J. Wakefield bottles available tomorrow?

    Also, beer of the night, imo, was the As Is x Greenpoint collab. Dankest beer I've ever had.

    Indeed cans and bottles seemed in good supply, and VIP Green City is freaking delicious.

    This by Greenpoint was a great beer.

    My heart goes out to everybody trading and arm and a leg (with a plus) for That's So Trill, this year's Never & Again.

    I hate to be this person but why were the stouts $18 when the original was $12?

    It isn't bad, it's just underwhelming given the history of Trillium collabs. Maybe in time...

    I recommend trying it on draft first. I found it to have an off putting earthy bitterness, almost kind of reminding me of dark chocolate? The galaxy flavor is there though, some may really enjoy it.

    The Never & Again comparison is probably a bit unfair.

    It also just reinforces that the staples, ACE, Space Diamonds, etc are consistently great while the collabs can be a bit of a gamble.

    I had the DDH Trill after buying the 4pk of regular, I would short that 4pk if Wall Street would allow it.
