    Singlecut takes out bar stools on weekends to avoid this scenario.

    I really dig oscillation 4. Dangerous drinkable for sure.

    I burned my mouth eating dumplings Saturday night so I couldn't quite enjoy the delicious flavors of BQE and Oscillation 4 until tonight, but oh man is it tasty.

    Now in comparison I'd say Barrier always has barstools. However, they are cash only and that solves half the problem. Either go all cash or tell people to move from the bar when they get their beer.

    Not even short people. Just feels strange for a bar to limit their ability sell beer. I see bartenders as much more efficient without people in the way at the bar.

    Pretty sure they limit small pours to 2 at a time as well to speed things up. Smart move. Flights or 4-5 3 oz pours at a time are not meant to be given out when the bar is several lines of people deep.

    The bar was definitely a mess and empty glasses were sitting around everywhere. They even brought new boxes of glasses from the back because they ran out... but they didn't even give them a rinse and poured beers into the new glasses straight out of the box. That was my cue to grab my cans/bottles and leave.

    I think almost everyone would agree with this assessment.

    It didn't help that people were putting their empty glasses in their bags and leaving with them.

    Do you know when this is being released? I noticed the crew just sent Kane a care package, and these cans were in the box

    The only info I got out of them was that they were "thinking" about canning it. I commented that they must have done more than think about it if they printed up the labels.

    Welp, so much for Finback staying off the radar. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Hopefully with more local breweries canning and making great beer some of the demand and hysteria across the board will dissipate. Would be nice to be able to show up at any of these places and get cans under reasonable circumstances.

    not sure why you wouldn't be able to. other half just had a chill release with cans going into the next day, threes did as well. i expect the same for finback.

    Really can't see how any of those beers could warrant hysteria.

    Yeah I was just trying to be funny, I'm pretty excited that Finback seems to be caning more often, and these sound like great summer beers.
