    There are currently 13 different cans available and zero line. Never thought I’d see the day.

    Simcoe + Vic Secret is pretty great on tap.

    Any reviews on this weekends release? Is the dual hop a success? Seems likely to be quiet and everything available throughout the day.

    Just swung by. Shit ton of beer. 2 x 4 packs of ACE for me. @jrnyc @hazegramps @preprohibition did you get yours?

    The dual hop is a nice, earthy, bitter change of pace.

    Oh yeah!! Actually was a small line at 12:30, 3 4 packs of DDH ACE and 2 of DDH Broccoli for me!

    Weird I was there at 12:15 and no line at all.

    Wanted to meet up with you guys at Sixpoint but I ended up having to zip back home right after grabbing my purchases.

    Haven’t had it yet, but this beer is best 2 weeks out

    Let me know what you think. I'm very familiar with Broccoli but I doubt my 4 pack ever lasts two weeks. So from my perspective, it's off. Thinner, more bitter, less flavor overall. Not the roundness I normally get.

    Simcoe + Vic Secret is quite nice on tap. I preferred Dream Layers over Daydream Layers. I skipped Broccoli this time around.

    You people walking out with only one or two types of cans are exhibiting much more self-control than I have.

    Money has to enter the equation at some point, I would think.

    Its fridge space for me, I can generally only accommodate a few 4pks in my fridge at a time so I have to be choosy.

    So I think the Vermont Yeast series has shown that it is not as good as their OG offerings. I can't think of a single standout. They are fine, but, nothing that will wow you or go out of your way to seek out.

    I think the last batch of Amarillo was treated with the vermont yeast and it was spectacular. I've been meaning to try Simcoe with the vermont yeast but haven't gotten to it.
