    there was literally no line until I made this post, so I’m hoping some of you psychopaths are here. Cheers!

    Dare I say good price? Drink 8-9 of those and you’ve got yourself a bottle’s worth for a third of the price.

    Hope you all enjoy that RBBT - What an amazing surprise. Props to @Quilentro for letting the community know. (I’m not there, I just love the community here.)

    That's pretty awesome. Enjoy! You bring your Dr. Brown's baby bottles? You can hand off a 3 oz bottle to me at the Prop Day transition time.

    Appreciate getting the opportunity for Dark Lord earlier today and not BBT Rye :sob:

    2x4 Benthic is pretty awesome though

    Cracked a 2x4 to split with the wife this AM. Wow. Thick, but not overly so, and the coconut/coffee balance is on point.

    I was expecting more of the pastry sort, but this was a good balance of stout and huge flavor. Only gripe is that it was light on barrel, but I expected as much.

    Dang - that's the way to do it! Cheers to you both.
    (maybe see you at Revolution again one of these days?)

    I finally had a Before Land Shook last night and it is indeed pretty great. However, that can of Sickle Through Sabre stole the show for me. Wowzers!

    Ha, it's always good to have an AM stout.

    Yeah, we'll have to link up!

    I'm just hoping there will still be some fun things available next weekend when I come up for the Rev Deep Woods release.

    Nitro 2x4 is legit incredible, looks like it just kicked though

    Adultsizedbeverage is on and I hadn’t had it before and wow is it good

    double barrel benthic is a bit of a let down, doesn’t really come together for me

    regular is very good as always

    Well Rye BBT is one thing I was not expecting to be on tap for my very first visit to Half Acre… talk about luck. Don’t worry, there was a few of us there so I made sure to try plenty of HA as well and went home with some great stuff. Excited to crack some cans here eventually.

    Benthic and variants are world class this year once again. A step above everyone else IMO. Rev is a close second and I feel it falls off a bit after those two. I’m in need of another benthic pack!

    Have only had two Benthic from my pack I shared with a friend. The regular is phenomenal. I wasn't as hot on the Vanilla. Regular was superior by far. Looking forward to the others when I get around to them and expecting big things from 2x4.

    I would agree on those two. The Sunken Ghost is incredible and my favorite of the bunch.
