    Definitely. However you can drink that $9 ACE there, which, is what I would expect to pay at a bar.

    I mean tourists would pay that much or more for a Stella draft in the area...

    In fact I was just at another bar with OH cans for $11 to consume on-prem.

    Let us know if you do!

    There are so many options. It feels like a diner with their 15 page menu... surely there are a few duds hidden.

    Any thoughts out there on lACEd in Space, Centre, or Daydreamless?

    Looking for same. Thinking of driving with wife into NYC and therefore have to curb it, finances matter, in the sense that I shouldn't go crazy, but will try to excuse the ridiculousness. LACEDX 2, ACE X 2, ALL TOGETHER X 1, and 2x RB SPECTACLE CITRA to cover my vacation drinking and sharing and then some since I'm a lightweight. Anything I should consider as an alternative in people's experience?

    I just finished the the last can of what was probably the previous "laced" batch and it didn't age well. Honestly it was never great. Maybe its the galaxy of old and the current is better but with the amount of options I'd steer clear until someone contradicts.

    Centre was not my thing and not “galaxy forward” in my mind (good or bad galaxy).

    Black is Beautiful is best OH stout I’ve had in a long time.

    and if the non-ddh broccoli is around I’d recommend it.

    I have to come into Manhattan to pick something up from the office on Tuesday, and I figured I'd take a ride down to Brooklyn and get some cans. I see OH has 27 cans available?! I've found that I can only carry back 3 4-packs without killing my back, so that's leading to some serious decision paralysis.

    agreed. Haven't had Broccoli in years and its way more enjoyable than most of what I've had from OH bk or elsewhere lately. Fantastic classic OH IPA in a time of all haze. Glad I picked some up.

    Grabbed DDH ACE and 1st Anny IPA today will report back tonight/tomorrow. Also think I saw your delivery order in the taproom when I walked up!
    not sure what was up with my first broccoli but think I was just not feeling great. Second can was really really good

    Must have just missed each other! I picked up around 2ish.

    I went with ACE, Hop Deluge, and 1 year 11months.I'm drinking a 1 year 11 months now and am really happy with it!

    I'm gonna go with your order assuming it's all there on Tuesday. Perfect mix of a classic go-to, the highest multipler for hop shower points, and some RochesterFinger Lake representation.

    Yeah, exactly. How am I going to not get Hop Deluge? I'm a sucker for anything that says Citra Incognito, even if I wouldnt be able to blind taste it, and the FLX beers have been great so 23 months seems like an obvious choice.

    I semi wish I had picked up Centre as it was once so good, but oh well, next time. I really wish I had made it there for HDHC CananDANKua.

    I'm kind of surprised they haven't rebrewed 4th anniversary during this time.

    Thank you. That's truly flattering. I've missed everyone, too, even if I continue to "see" most of you here every time I log in...

    But once I realized that particular mission was my own dragon quest, the process of letting go became much easier. Everyone comes to it—the realization that what they've always wanted is staring them in the face—at their own speed. They certainly don't need my help to see it. In fact, for some, a voice like mine just gets in the way. It's one of the few things I've learned on this site.

    I look forward to the next meet-up, come when it may. After Covid, and far more than before, simply seeing people alive and well in the flesh is all that matters...
