    I loved Procrastination way more than I thought I would. I have one more left and am leaving it for Giants tailgating on Sunday.

    Yeah I picked up a can of one of the oscillations from them but they never got any more. I got a couple cans of their regular IPA from carmine street beers today but they had no idea if they'd be getting anything else.

    AS IS just put harambe on. Harambe is the perfect balance of coffee, chocolate, and coconut. Finback kills another stout!

    The brewery is in a residential area, but on a normal weekend, you should be able to park right out in front of the brewery, and at worst, walk about a block

    I agree, I had this a few months ago at Milk and Hops and it was great. That was before all the Harambe memes really took off. Glad to see it's back, hopefully they bottle it too (and maybe barrel age it?).

    Super exciting. BA BQE is one of my favorite stouts!

    Caption seems to imply that this is a different base beer, fwiw

    I'm sure it'll be a good one given how much I enjoy their other stouts!:slight_smile:

    Why does no one use zip car? Granted I live right by the midtown tunnel, but grabbing a zip car and heading to Finback is as quick if not quicker than Other Half. It's 15 minutes roughly, and probably not much more if you take the queensboro bridge. Sure there are tolls for MT Tunnel, but time is money.

    It's also much easier to transport your stash as well. You could also pretty easily stop at LIC or Interboro on your way back in.

    I've used a zip car in the past, coming from lower manhattan and it was about 45 minutes. (It did take a minute to find the place) I found it cost as much as taking a cab there and you can drink.

    Personally waiting for Car2Go to light up over there. Love taking one of those little death traps to Singlecut.

    Took one back from the Top. Depression release at OH. 2 Grown beer adults, chairs and probably 3 cases worth of cans. Took a while to get off the line, but the AC was worth it.

    Had Knoll at the taproom when they did the BQExC release and it was delicious, but this sounds like a modified recipe. Might have to get on that Zipcar for these cans.

    I was saving this for a good night and being on vacation...why not? Wow, this is amazing. The mocha coffee nose and taste is off the charts. So smooth for the abv. Such an easy sipper, well done.
