    Okay I'm gonna call a COVID meet up.

    Since 'Trane & Hancock have enter the convo... There's a funky jazz show I go to every Sunday, 1-4pm, think Hancock's Head Hunters. Bring beer, bring an extra for the musicians.

    The place is on Ablemarle @ Stratford, a few blocks south Prospect Park parade grounds.

    There's is tons of outdoor space, Ablemarle has beautiful medium to place blanket on.

    I picked up Roo Dream Lab Shoes and just assumed it has lactose in it. I also saw a dude in line wearing an OH facemask. This is the closest that I've come to OH in weeks.

    I got the DDH HS w/ Citra a while back and it was good, would buy again. Haven't had the other recent ones though.

    NYC beer relevance:

    BCBS pre-order at Top Hops is $21 per bottle for regular. $37-$45 per bottle for the variants. WTF??

    I've been away for quite some time as my life quietly falls apart, but I'm willing to join the fight.
    Through Melon and Pastry, we must find a way.

    OH going full bore on the distribution and web-sales must be looking good now as we are (sadly, oh so sadly) on the brink of rewinding. I do hope all these breweries with their outdoor custom made patios get to keep them in summer of '21. Think of how much fun they'll be.

    More broadly, I hope all restaurants/bars get to negotiate keeping them with the city. As a non-parker, it's easy for me to say, "leave it up forever!" but I do enjoy the space and hope there is space to negotiate something.

    A brilliant point!
    I am also a non-parker. What's likely to ruin my hopes is that most of these patios occupy metered parking and the city will need that revenue. Moreover, with the reduced parking and increased delivery drivers it is amazing it has worked at all to this point. HOWEVER in the summer as we all know this city empties out and I those who stay put should be afforded a summer of luxury before we return to the car-centric society.

    The city is trying to be more green and promote pedestrian safety so you never know. Plus those businesses that survive still get extra customers ideally, which means tax revenue, and so on and so forth. You could be one of those people at council meetings after the pandemic comes to a close that advocates to keep the outdoor space. You could even be a staple at the meetings, specifically "the outdoor seating obsessed lunatic whose breath stinks of melon."

    Over the last 2 months we have begun to bottle and adjunct some of our barrel aged projects. Next week begins OH's season of stouts. Our team has done an amazing job getting all of these bottles ready for you, and we are proud to share these with you. #staytuned for much more.

    Did they stop giving out Doritos with the local bike deliveries? I feel like I’ve only gotten one bag in my last 5 orders or so.

    Thanks @Tallerboy for the awesome Sunday afternoon recommendation. Band was great and perfect spot for it. Also, thanks for the melon hydrogen bomb of Greenbacks.
