    Funny you say this. So, if I really haven't been drinking much at all, maybe 1 beer every 2 weeks, just about any amount of alcohol (but certainly a 12oz BA beer, especially if consumed in less than 2 hours) pretty much always gives me a headache. Once I've been that demon far enough back into the hole, I rarely get a headache the next day from the additional 4 oz. -Assuming, of course, that I didn't dehydrate myself the whole day prior. -Which, is a distinct possibility, especially with having a little one. (Who the fuck would think it would be so hard to find time or remember to hydrate when you have a child????? The things no one tells you.)

    At the risk of spreading this far and wide, and potentially not getting one myself, look at this sick Benthic glass. $10. The public deserves to know!

    Love the design - truly - but I’m a stem ****. Sees rabbit hole, tries to widen it.

    I love the art but am not a fan of the glass. You all can have mine.

    Has anyone found out how many ounces this glass is? Assuming 12oz, since cans are. If so, I don't need another that size. But if it's 16oz, [insert Drake approves meme]!

    First can impressions of Benthic: coconut dominant, much more so than I remember. Smoooooooth. Chocolatey. Creamy. Only some coffee. Not really noticing much barrel heat of any kind, but you can tell it’s balancing the sweetness a bit. In general really smooth and coconut dominant, and not in Banana Boat kind of way. I like it a lot. Makes me curious how Xtra Dubl is going to be with even more coconut.

    They have the last 3, if not 4 years. Would be a bummer if not.

    yeah, I kinda just assumed it would until they have seemingly gone out of their way to be coy about it while also being extremely clear when 4-packs would be on sale at the taproom.
