    Cans sell out within a few hours at OH on the day of release.
    Singlecut IPAs are great (Mo Shuggie, Billy Full Stack), Grimm (Super Going is killer), Barrier (lots of good stuff, their IPA Money is fantastic), Finback also has some killer beers. I'm sure I'm missing some others but those are my favorites.

    Made the trip a few weeks back and it went like this:

    1) Top Hops - grabbed some stuff do go - had an Other Half IPA while there - cool shop. Didn't have something on beermenus i was looking for
    2) Fools Gold - went d/t a beer listed on beermenus but they didn't have it. Left to save time/calories/alcohol.
    3) New Beer Distributors - grabbed a few more beers to go
    4) One Mile House - did a pick 4 flight (OH Oat Junkie, OH It's not you.., Grimm Psychokinesis, ******y Costa Rican Coffee IPA)
    5) Carmine St Beers - buzzed over to Greenwich Village and grabbed a few more bottles
    6) Blind Tiger - SingleCut Billy Full Stack - this place was super packed so left quickly
    7) Took a few hour break for dinner/Top of the Rock/walked through Time Square
    8) District Tap House - Hill Farmstead Harlan - good stuff! Had a sample of OH Nice Life. nice they had plugs under each bar seat since my phone died taking pics, snapchats, etc
    9) Ginger Man - stopped in for something on beermenus they didn't have - Had Speakeasy Joe's ale of Strength
    10) Rattle N Hum - pick 4 from Allagash (confluence, midnight brett, interlude, century) - wanted to try other Allagash stuff they had but the "good" stuff wasn't available on the pick 4 flight and didn't want to kill off my night by drinking 2-3 beers here
    11) Jimmy's 43 - Barrier Money IPA. Cool place
    12) McSorley's for a light & dark - wasn't going to go but was on the same street at Jimmy's so stopped in and the previous beers made me think this was def a

    All together had the equivalent of about 8 beers in 10 hours. I definitely had a headache the next day but had a blast. I wouldn't normally have that many beers or that many stops but was only there for a night and wanted to check out as many places as I could.

    I think my favorite spot was Jimmy's 43. It wasn't nice by any means but just stood out - prob by having to walk down the stairs to get to it, was very small, felt like a local place, no dbags, good beers on tap, and the bartender was chatty so had a lot of fun there. Favorite beer was the Harlan, but the OH stuff was ALL good and really liked Money IPA

    Idk if the beers come and go very quickly but 3 of the ones i sought out due to being listed on beermenus were not there at 3 different spots so idk what happened there.

    Thanks for all the suggestions!
