    Hopefully still a good amount of the pilsner left - if it sells out just because it's a Trill collab...

    They opened Monday with 100 cases or so and I would be surprised if they're out already. Maybe by Saturday evening it will be gone.

    Question for locals. I'll be finishing up at an event in Manhattan around 7 this Sat night. I was thinking of hitting OH on the way home to NJ for leftover cans- if there are any. Was thinking of maybe hitting Grimm as well. Am I naive to think I can drive around Brooklyn on a Sat night without sitting in traffic? I've never been there at that time with a car. Thanks

    Who snitched on @RobNewton ?

    You know what happens to snitches in prison right? They drink clear IPAs and stouts with NOTHING added to them

    I'll just say this-anytime I drive in that area thinking "oh it's an off time of day there shouldn't be too many cars on the road", I've grossly underestimated how there's just too many damn people in this state for that to ever be the case. So may answer is YES-you are probably being naive :slight_smile:

    The clear IPAs are also older than the stouts.

    If 10 is the traffic round the midtown tunnel at 4pm on the Friday before 4th July / Labor Day weekends, and 1 is 4am on a Tuesday in early March - I’d say it’ll be about a 4-6 sort of range

    Sad that the August 3030 thread got the kaibosh. I was looking forward to seeing the natural evolution of linelyfe. With jet packs.

    It’s good (for BA and OH) that the BA mods feel confident that the August 3030 title should be kept back to be used at the right time

    copying my original question over since it got deleted with the thread:
    "Outside Beer: Do not open bottles or cans in the Tap Room unless you have permission from the Other Half crew."
    are they typically cool with this if you ask? i almost never finish my line share stuff before sales start and would love to keep sharing inside with everyone...

    What does Saffron even add to this beer beyond making it more expensive?

    Seems like A TON of Saffron would need to be used in order to impart any flavor.

    idk, just a pinch of saffron goes a long way in cooking. wonder if it will have a yellow-ish head?

    If this was a normal OH Stout release this would probably sit for a bit at the least which is kind of a shame.
