    So hypothetically you could get 4 cans of Xtra now. They can’t have a ton available so I’m not sure this will undo the butthurt of the initial release (for some anyways)

    If they don't force me to buy truffles and a glass I want no part of this. It obviously is not a 2020 Benthic release.

    They just edited the post, I assume for clarity.

    -1x 4-pack benthic
    -1x 2-pack benthic + 1x 2-pack of benthic variant
    -2x 2-pack of each variant or two of the same

    Yeah, that's what I expected. Their original post looked like there were some 6 can packages, which I figured was a mistake.

    See? Take it off OZNR and require us to rack our brains and we are at a total loss

    Please do not insult Half Acre associating them with lowly Oznr.

    History tells that Tock was far superior, easier to navigate, and transactions were no issue.

    (I am happy they are going back to the web store though either way).

    Personal power rankings:

    Benthic > Vanilla Benthic > Xtra Dubl Benthic

    However, all were excellent.

    (I still can't bring myself to open Old Ben or Cherry Brandy Benthic)

    If I wanted to do calculus for beer I would have stayed the f in high school...

    “guys, we really need to post the benthic stuff to the website page”
    “Dude, it’s been a long day.” Puff puff “I’ll do it in a second.”
    “My guy, maybe do it before you...”
    “Bro! Quit the aggro! I said I’d do it.”

    an hour later, through bloodshot eyes, typing one key every five seconds. Reads it over a couple times.

    “Nailed it”

    Anyone remember the Half Acre riddles back in the day that led to a hidden token you could exchange for beer?

    Benthic Schmenthic. The new truth is Galaxy Double Daisy Cutter, the new brewery-only release that came out yesterday. Might be the best Chicago IPA I've had all year. Glad I dragged two cases home to divvy up with friends!

    For me, that honor went to the Riwaka variant. So I hope this is as good!

    Riwaka was spectacular. I hope HA brews it again.

    Did it go live 9am EST or CST? Vanilla was last to populate but placed a separate order.

    Had to click the "accept marketing link" after clicking place order a few times, available pick up changed each time from Friday mid evening until Saturday late evening. Will be stopping by Sunday I guess at this point. Glad I was able to get through, Vanilla, Double and three Keeping Together bottles.
