    If anyone can report on notable beers in the cooler during pickups that'd be great. I had a feeling Benthic 2pks would make their way to the shop in January when taproom sales are down. At least that's what I've convinced myself.

    According to the online menu which was updated yesterday, they’re still only doing the box.

    I'm assuming the new barleywine is on draft, but can anyone that picked up today confirm?

    Only boxes for sale and no plans to break them up.

    And yes, the barleywine was on tap.

    It's the only way they can move the rest of Turtle Benthic.

    Hard disagree. It was fantastic, unique and nailed the chocolatier thing they were going for, even down to the smell of being in the store as a kid.

    Surely, there are bound to be folks perusing the To Go cooler post-digestif all primed to drop $200 on an impulse purchase.

    Man, TB Wilderness is a big, brawny, oakey beer. Pretty intense beer from start to finish.

    Yeah, not bad, but doesn't wow me. Why can't we just have NAVAJA again? Why?

    I just realized this tread title is incorrect as it's actually "Half Acre Beer Co." ... my reading comprehension needs some work it seems.
