    Glad to see this thread hasn't gone too far off topic.
    I guess when people shoot holes all through your argument you do your best to change the subject.

    I took the ride up this past weekend now that they adjusted their limits to spread the beer our more. This beer reminds me of the first time that I had ACE, Julius, and Ghost. So far they live up to the hype.

    Surprised @Xerlic hasn’t posted yet but it looks like they’re doing a collab with District 96. Snakefruit jokes....engaged

    I'm going to visit a friend in Schenectady on Saturday and was planning on swinging by Fidens in the morning on the way up from NJ. Would arriving at 9a be early enough to have a spot in the car line before allotments sell out? Do the Mortalis collabs make everything a big fat unknown?

    Came across a Timber Ales / Fidens collab on the shelves in NJ last week (Daydreams are Necessary), and its stellar, and like 2-3 weeks old. If you see it, grab it...

    Cans sold out at 9:40 AM last week, so hopefully 9AM is early enough.

    I genuinely think it's going to be an absolutely preposterous zoo this weekend and if you want cans you can't get there early enough. Fidens and Mortalis may be the two most 'hype' breweries in New York right now so if you want cans I would advise being there by like 6. There WILL be people camping out overnight.

    Lol welp. That's fine, I don't need more beer in the fridge anyway.

    If you join the FB group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/211261600326881) there is a post with line updates every Saturday. You can gauge if it's worth making the stop Saturday morning.

    Went to the can release this morning..arrived at the brewery at 715am and we were 149 and 150 in line not sure when they started sales but we were done by 915ish..apparently we just got in under the cut to grab both the DIPA and stout..not sure exactly what the cutoff # was but i heard it was around 155 or 160 and when we left they had to be handing out cards in the low 200's(if they got to that point)...VERY STRONG turnout today

    The collab with Timber is amazing. Like, I wasn’t prepared for how amazing it would be. Citra and Mosaic are in perfect harmony with this beer. Wish I got more than 1 can.

    That was nuts. I saw some guy showed up in a camper right around midnight. Glad you got an allotment.

    How funny would it be, if I hit up my last ex gf that lives in Albany and asked her if she could send me some fidens back to NJ.

    It's funny if you do it. It's genius if she sends the beer.

    The line moved quickly and efficiently once they started selling the beer

    Looks like they lowered limits again to try to combat the line forming before the sun comes up.
