Two comments.
1. In and out will be less than 5 minutes.
2. Half and half is worth the half the divorce will cost ya

 

Can't speak to whether or not things will be the same, but the first batch of Half & Half saw distro

 

Number one is why I love going there. I've gotten their last three sets of cans, and I love DW. The problem is the 25-30 minute ride there each way. Number 2 is a fair point because I had it last winter and it was fantastic.

 

Last year I was able to buy Half and Half in Astoria so I'd guess it would get around this year too. Loved that beer - not too sweet as other milk stouts can be

 

Half and half is awesome. Didn't grab any DW because my fridge is so stocked and I've had DW many many times. I tried Suburb with Mosaic and thought it was very tasty.

 

I ended up going (haha) and got a 4 of each and 3 half-n-halfs and the suburb is great. Even following a Haze, it tastes great. Wife is drinking a bottle and she's a big fan. Loves the coffee.

 

Let me add, just tried 10,000 foot beard....damn. That is perfect for the style. The peatiness is so on point, it's just pure smoke. So tasty too.

 

Do they still have an ample amount of bottles of Half and Half after this weeekend?..I'm playing on stopping in on Wednesday to grab a few

 

they still had plenty, as well as Daddy Warbucks :-)

 

That Sloop collab should be DOPE

 

Nice to see plentiful Tanto and Suburb (Azacca I think) cans at WF Gowanus last night.

 

This newest batch of Tanto is exactly what it says on the bottom of the can: sharp as fuck. The first batch was good, took some time to come together for me, but this one is on point. Even better.

 

Glad to hear this....I really liked Tanto. Hills have Hops was pretty good as well.

 

Loved Hills Have Hops - hope to see that more often. Really dank.
Didn't care for Tanto (first canning) at all - way too soft. Not like any Barrier IPA I've ever had.
Picked up some 10,000ft Beard and RipRap today. I think I prefer Cairn the non imperial scotch ale - I think the smoked peat flavor comes through better in the lower ABV version.

 

Would appreciate some recon on the collab, any chance it's on tap tonight?

Need to motivate the LI faction of my beer syndicate.

 

According to beermenus (updated today) it's not on tap. Still cans of Tanto and Suburb Azacca which I'm pretty surprised by.

 

What - you aren't on line yet?

 

New batch of tanto was great so im definitely surprised its still available. Not a big fan of azacca hops though, so no surprise to me about Suburb.

Cant wait to roll in around 445-5 after work, enjoy a glass or two and get some cans.
