    I'll probably aim to get there a little early, but not out of FOMO. I went to the Friday release before Memorial Day Weekend and sat in traffic for about 5 hours driving back to Suffolk County because I decided to show up an hour or so after they opened. I'd like to do whatever possible to mitigate the chances of repeating that experience.

    +1 to that

    Cascade + Galaxy is surprisingly good. Space Diamonds is maybe a little more muted than previous batches, but still a nice beer.

    I wasn't that crazy about Rice Proxy Treats.

    Came on here to post same thing. Just too much going on. If this is what a desirable stout is these days then count me out

    Wouldn't you rather just have a Hop Showers? That beer is perfect.

    Hop Showers is my all time favorite stout.

    I, for one, welcome our diabetes-inducing stout overlords. I would like to remind them, that as a trusted BA forum personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.

    Fuck I missed a trick there. Going to have to mull that one over while I whittle a piece of driftwood into a bottle opener with the knife pa gave me, while drinking a hop showers

    Who else tried Party Booster? Not a fan, second miss in a row for me, after triple cheddar.

    And could also make the line on Friday excruciating.

    I love that we all still find ways to complain about lines, despite their fading into memory. Takes me back to the old days. I'm proud of us.

    Thanks, I try my best.

    Just was saying if they do the release from Smith Street like they did on Memorial Day Friday and have 2 registers with 11 different beer options, it could be slow. I wont be there at open (too busy bathing in hop showers) so I don't really care that much. Just figured it was worth mentioning.

    So if you were to choose one 4 pack (and there’s no hop showers to get), which would you grab?
