    Random, unexpected BA meet ups are a good time. A few of my personal favorites were @aceboogie at DLD back in May and @ECOBOOSTINST at friggin' Weldwerks of all places a good 4+ years ago.

    On topic of HA, early sips on the new Orin which just hit distro downstate. Never disappoints.

    At first I thought you started doing drugs. Then I realized this was just boilerplate HA advertisement.

    Question for you kind folks - I don't want to invest in the whole package, but would love to grab a variant or two from the taproom instead. What are my chances of going there during or after the Benthic release and grabbing a 2-pack of a Benthic variant? Or maybe a few weeks later?

    In years past, they have put a variant in the fridge for a few days until it is gone. And they will do that for all of the variants over a ~month span.

    You can also keep your eyes open for someone in the same boat who wants to split a package. I would, but I mostly avoid coconut.

    Only problem with that is, the best stuff in the Benthic box is sometimes only 1 12oz can.

    I think we need a few more teaser posts, 4 isn't quite enough.

    I know Revolution (@BeerCruncher ) teased some new Deep Woods merch releases this year - I believe a Deep Woods branded baby bottle for getting that one off variant to your buddy in Cali is one of the new items.

    We are introducing a new stroller collaboration with Uppa Baby called FUPA Baby. It comes with a very realistic looking fake baby and enough space underneath to hide a mule. Once the mule is released from the space at the front of the line, that space can then hold up to 12 cases of Deep Wood beers.

    Are these 12 4-pack cases or 12 12-can cases or 12 24-can cases?

    Asking for a friend.

    Will you be offering a double stroller in the future to accommodate two mule families?

    For a full year I lived 7-8 miles away from HA. I have followed the to go options very closely during this last barrel program season & I am here to say that your chances are very good. I am not buying the Benthic package this year because of this exact last logic your enquiring about. Enjoy the spoils of victory, you're welcome in advance!

    7-8 miles? And you were frequently willing to make the 2-hour drive? My hat’s off to your dedication, sir!
