    Has anyone booked for curbside, alerted OH that you are not able to pick up same day, but they held the beer until the following day? Wondering if this is possible.

    any beer that goes unclaimed gets dumped in the McDonalds dumpster

    This is Jeopardy?

    How do I get my hands on the collab if I can’t go to OH today?

    Trying to keep you jokers sharp in these fallow times!

    Real talk tho, I get the need to close out orders for the day/reset, but unanticipated emergencies do arise.

    All things considered, and acknowledging they weren't going to be able to just "turn the hype off," that is, force people to stop foaming at the mouth over beer, I think they're doing a pretty good job getting it out there and avoiding a scene. They've made (nearly free!) delivery available, they're distroing more beer than ever before (Andrew estimates 40% of each batch goes out to distro), and they've made it super easy to pick up at the source.

    Also RIP Green City, looked like it was going to be late May this year.

    It's a good question. They say to pick up same day and the floor is just covered with orders to go out via delivery and curbside. I think it would get lost real quick if left for a couple days, however you can add a note and I'm sure they will at least cancel your order if not.
    I did notice some pickups had alternate names on them making me think they are acknowledging user notes.
    In the end I realize I didn't answer your concern I just said things you probably knew. Sorry.

    I've had some of their sours which I enjoyed a lot, but their IPAs are definitely duds. Nevertheless looking forward to trying Other Half's rendition of White Ferrari (I had the Veil's version a few years back) since how can you go wrong with citra and galaxy.

    But I think swapping recipes of other brewer's popular beer is a smart and fun idea during this pandemic. Wouldn't hate a Congress St. (Centre St.?) or a Foggy Window (Foggy uhh...Subway?)

    Yeah figured Green City was going to get canned with this. Even if it was in early/mid June no way you could honestly do that right now even if the state began relaxing restrictions.

    Just cracked a Mylar, tastes pretty good to me. Maybe a *pinch* more vegetal/bitter than normal but by no means bad

    Everyone submit Anheuser-Busch as your choice for next Freaky Friday partner on their IG story. We can make this happen!

    Want to sing along for a moment with the chorus of praise for All Strata- it's really delicious and distinct. I can't place the tropical fruit flavor that dominates but it's tasty as hell.

    I don't know about everyone else but the Galaxy in White Ferrari scared me off. I don't care if Adolphus Busch created the recipe I'm on Galaxy strike until I get the all clear!

    Don’t think whiteferrari is bad by any means - nose is fantastic, maybe some of the recent galaxy issues on the swallow but far from horrific. But we’re spoiled with selection these days, especially with delivery options, and I’m not saying rush out and buy it

    I’m gonna go against the grain here and say I’m liking White Ferrari a lot. Not getting any of that ashy aftertaste that some of the recent OH galaxy beers have. May be the best OH beer I’ve had since Mylar Arch.

    Picked up a 4pk today, and can also tell you I had the last batch of space diamonds from Brooklyn. I would say this is better, not in a huge way but it’s noticeably more well rounded. I found the Brooklyn cans had a bit of a weird finish, this is much smoother. I’d suggest grabbing some.

    Ooh...Green City (ostensibly not DDH, for anyone keeping track) is so delicious right now. This really is the flagship OH fans deserve.
