    had a four pack of Hootie from Decicco's a few weeks back and was thoroughly impressed. One of the best pale ales from NY I think I've ever had. that hop combination of amarillo, citra, and centennial definitely agrees with my palate, which has been burnt out lately by mosaic, which seems to be in everything these days.

    Is the beer purchasable via App only, or can I just stroll in, buy a pack, and hangout? (or instead of buying a pack is there a taproom?)

    They definitely want you to buy via app, even if it's just the $3 tote bag, but if you showed up I doubt they'd turn you away.

    Buy a pack on the app to get entry, there are still beers available now.

    Thanks guys, downloaded the app, but I think it'll be more prudent of me to wait until next release as I'll be moving in September and already have quite a bit of beer to drink before the move.

    Totes are useful for moving stuff. $3 and you can hang out with HazeGramps!

    Yep! Usually 6-8 depending on the month. Tasters and then $5-6 pints. And empanadas for when you need a snack.

    Hi all, and looking forward to hopefully seeing @BriDrinksBeer @SpinSamzo and @pinyin for the first time at the release on Saturday.

    We will have an outdoor tap area as usual, where you can get both samples and full-sized pours.

    Regarding the beers, there are very limited quantities left (just a few cases of Brevity and Howler, and about 10 cases of Dreamsickle left as of right now) so you may want to lock down your supply via the app. A single purchase will generate a QR code and allow you entry into the courtyard. If you can't make it Saturday, you can still pick it up on an alternative date as @jrnyc already noted.

    I'm retrieving the final draft list now - hope to have it published for you soon.

    cheers

    Your pushing your luck young Tyler, you slipped off of my radar as I took on @rozzom, but you might be next on the hit list.

    PS, hoping my limited memory remembered not to drink that bottle of Lost Abbey raspberry greatness that had your name on it.

    Tap List:

    Summer Friday
    4.0% ABV
    Tart - Cran-Ras - Crusher

    Smooth Raspy
    4.5% ABV
    Raspberry Sour w/ Vanilla and Milk Sugar
    Some sweetness balances the tart aspect of the OG Lil' Raspy.

    Dreamsickle
    ABV 6.5%

    Sour IPA w/ Citra, El Dorado, Mandarina Bavaria, Blood Orange, Milk Sugar, and Vanilla
    We loaded Dreamsickle with tons of citrusy hops, complemented by 1,186 lbs of blood orange puree. Then to smooth it all out, there’s more vanilla in here than we’ve ever put in a beer.

    Howler
    ABV 7.5% ABV
    NEIPA w/ Citra, Cashmere, and Strata
    We tested out Cashmere and Strata in the Hypothesis Series (you may have had them on draft if you’ve been to our release parties!). These are some awesome new hops that we married with Citra to create Howler, the latest of our BEAST-themed haze bombs.

    Brevity
    6% ABV
    Tart Belgian Wit w/ Coriander, Orange Peel, Vanilla, and Chamomile Flowers
    Chamomile and vanilla provide a light sweet and floral impression, cut by mild tartness and sharp citrus.

    Binary
    8% ABV
    IIPA w/ Citra and Galaxy
    Citra and Galaxy hops are so good they’re practically cheat codes. We loaded them into Binary to make a slightly hazy, super juicy IIPA. Beep bop boop.

    Hootie (in 16oz Cans!!!)
    5.4% ABV
    The Classic, you know it.

    Jammer
    4.0% ABV
    Gose
    Tart - Refreshing - Tango

    as we wind into the milder months/fall, look for an evolution from the sours/fruit beers and us getting into the heavier and more robust styles....we have a special event-themed release for Sept 2018 and yes, Bean Day is also coming back this Fall....cheers all

    Had a Howler last night, the smell is amazing and taste is evolving really nicely since I had at the release.
