    Yep. Worth going with friends who can split the toll cost.

    Just think, in like 5 years you can schlep down to WDC instead and drink alongside staffers & lobbyists in pleated khakis.

    Yeah I've contemplated making the drive from my parents place inn Phil for a while now. It's good that the drive is pretty easy. Tolls are a killer but if you're loading up, it's worth it. I've paid for mules up until this poin5

    Can't wait for the DC location to open. It's an easy drive from Harrisburg for me and I plan to go there at least once a quarter

    To cross from NJ into Brooklyn (roundtrip) is about $36 - $12 each way on the Goethals and $12 one way on the Verrazano. Highway robbery (especially the Goethals which is just trying to stay up). And those tolls are EZ Pass prices.

    They just finished building the Goethals. I went over it back in August...it’s actually a pretty nice, wide, bridge now.

    Goethals toll is one way and bridge is new. You just saved enough to buy anOtHer 3 beers.

    Yea the best part of the new Goethals bridge is you can pass somebody and not take off their mirror.

    Really pumping out those Space Diamonds!

    When I stopped by the warehouse last Saturday, I overheard some of the staff telling a customer that capacity has gone from 900 cases a week to around 1500 cases a week in the past couple months.

    A far cry from when we were lucky to get 180-200 cases per beer.

    Sure is! I assume they're still brewing 180-200 cases per beer, though, and using the extra capacity to release 8 or 9 beers a week (instead of 4).

    What's the scene lately? Odds of cans being available if I'm there after 2 pm?
