    I really like the place and have really enjoyed all the beers so far (think I've had every PA/IPA/DIPA and all 3 Hennas)...

    BUT....

    Really need more (pun intended) beers availble at the tap room. Im not as concerned about canning or to-go at this point.

    In all honesty the cans and bottles right now are for traders and flippers. Get your taproom to have an abundance of beer and do growlers or crowlers. Bring regular customers to your brewery. Don't worry about the people who are going to buy a 5oz our to check on untappd and then trade your cans for a "better" option.

    I'd do away with any sort of to-go at the moment. Howlers and growlers eat up kegs real quick.

    Well gee, that would kind of suck for those of us that actually drink the cans that we buy and that have limited time (read: kids) where we can't be at the tap room all the time getting crowlers and growlers filled (or that can't drink 32oz by ourselves in one sitting).

    I think that was a way of saying there is other beer to drink. But don't quote me on that lol

    Yeh, this is true - I have kids so I feel you - but they need to have their own beers on at their taproom before any type of to-go or distribution.

    And it looks like they just put some MoRE beers on...

    Yep, I was saying there are alternatives at Binny's.

    In defense of cans, the only More beer I've had was a can given to me by a friend. In opposition to cans, I probably would have visited More by now if I hadn't been so unimpressed by the can he gave me....

    Was hoping my crowler or DDH Chemical Connection would be like DDH Loose Candies where I loved the updated version much more than I liked the original. This one has left me a bit disappointed unfortunately. The spice of the rye and that DDH "harshness" that's typical (which I normally quite like) combines for a bite that I find to be a bit much. Maybe it'll mellow eventually?

    I think you’re wrong. Stupid amount of flavor in this beer. I declare, massive cherries and tropical fruit.

    Looks like a new porter is being released today... Falling Colors.

    The variant sounds really good.

    The Hazelnut Falling Colors is delicious.

    Are these overly thin as check-ins indicate or are people expecting a stout when it's a porter?

    I went last night, it's for sure a little on the thin side (yes, even for a porter) but not in a way that I'd bash it. It was actually kind of nice to have something that went down pretty easy but was a dark beer.

    Agree with @Hang_Over - the variant was really good.

    thought DDH Chemical Connection tasted very synthetic/syrupy, almost cough dropish. Wasn't a fan. Been sort of disappointed with the beers I've had from here so far, but have only had the IPAs/pales. I thought DDH Loose Candies was good, aroma was huge on it. Thought Popcorn was good and very dry but very one dimensional. Both were nothing mind blowing that I would go out of my way for especially living in the city.

    Had this after reading the reviews, and it was much better than people indicated. The hazelnut integrates perfectly with the coffee. I thought it was fantastic, and I'm typically not big on hazelnut.

    The time you save by waiting in line can be reallocated to picking up Crowlers and Growlers.

    The point about drinking all in one setting is legit.

    But let's be honest, by engaging in this hobby we are sometimes prioritizing beer before our families. The trick we have is to balance it properly so that we can enjoy this hobby and put our families first most of the time.

    It's like they listened to you guys! They just added a Belgian IPA and have Sassy and the chai variant (which I thought was very good) back on tap. Currently 9 beers on tap, though a few are no crowlers which I assume means are getting low.
