    Nah, it's different sites this time around I heard. I haven't heard where yet. My friend is in procedures today but I'll ask later where he got the info.

    They just posted a mini stemless teku with the velvet magnum mustache so I’m guessing that’s coming soon along with a BA version.

    They just did the Velvet Magnum celebration day at Burial this past week too, so makes sense. I also think they did a story with one of the brewers and they said they were brewing velvet magnum a few weeks back

    The first Velvet Magnum is still one of the most surprisingly delicious beers they've ever put out.

    Coconut, sure.
    Coganc barrel, ehh.
    Pineapple... this will be terrible.

    And yet it was so tasty.

    Sorry long day with kid, yeah matches my info. Though may be other spots I assume.if I hear other places I'll post tomorrow. Should pay attention to instagram by other half because I assume they would cross promote.

    Fyi drop likely to be late morning/early afternoon if history holds since canals released like I think pretty close to opening so I see no reason to assume the distributor is going to run super late. ACE ran out first, but it took a couple days obviously, so I'd guess that anyone at work should still be able to get all three. Careful of the weather everyone.

    From someone who has held on to many pastry stouts too long, this is your public service announcement reminding you to drink your snowbirds bottles while they have the tastes you want and not the ones you don't!

    And there's no better day to wish to move from NYC to warm sunny Florida than today

    Looks like the cranbury buy rite is 10am Thursday not today going by instagram. 3 pp.
    That said, Joe canals released a day before other half announced and a day before the other spot that got it, so others may be releasing today maybe afternoon?

    Fucking of a former local - the IPAs showed up before the storm but the stouts didn't

    Is this a bad time to mention that, being out in the suburbs, you can expect your shoveling workload to increase exponentially tomorrow?:grin:

    If his lawn maintenance arrangement is any indicator, you know he's paying an enterprising neighborhood kid to shovel. He'll probably pick the kid's brain on favorite desserts and wonder out loud whether they'll make good pastry stouts.

    Was told today that one of the velvet magnum variants was aged in rum barrels. I think I might still be scarred from how horrible the rum BA Cap’n Kooks was...

    Of course I'd considered that. But it's really much more fun to stick it to the guy.:slight_smile:

    My schadenfreude hasn't been this enjoyable and guilt-free since a friend of mine lost the touch on his swing for over 6 months after spending the weekend at a "golf yoga" retreat.:joy:
