    Looks like a little BA wheat wine today as well to make sure everyone gets a nice buzz for the new year.

    I liked both the Cognac + Vanilla variant and last year's Gold Strap but I really like Barleywine and this is close enough.

    Awesome man have fun. Check out Hometown BBQ in red hook (incredible spot) and on the lager front if you haven’t been to threes brewing before I think you’ll like it. Had a kicking and screaming recently that was excellent. Place is only 5 min uber/20 min walk from OH

    I had the base which was ok..my bottle of Cognac was infected and gushed literally everywhere when I opened it after holding it a few weeks so I dunno. If I am there maybe I'll grab a bottle for science.

    Aw man, I'm so stoked. I appreciate the tips. Hometown is wicked close to the airbnb we're staying at, so that is definitely on the list. I've always wanted to check out Threes, I'm gonna try to make it up there too.

    Today is my birthday so she surprised me last night with this weekend trip up to BK. Can't wait!:heavymetal:

    3 person line for HDHC More Citra is a fantastic way to close out the year.

    Also @RobNewton et al, count me in for a Friday meetup.

    Show up at 10am to hang out with the line people trading beers, show up at 11am to buy what you want with no wait.

    Enjoy and have fun in the beer Disneyland that is Brooklyn where having another one is no problem with subway, walking, and ride share.

    At the taproom now and Green Diamonds is going for $8-8oz pour. Back in my day we used to get a flight for $5 in the taproom! *shakes fist*
    On a positive note, Hops Only is tasting great.

    Should Defontes be added to the local eats for the 2020 thread?

    I read that as “Deftones” and was really excited for a second that one of my favorite bands from my youth opened a restaurant lol

    Gotta hit 191 for 191 Center St Brooklyn, NY 11231.

    Also speaking of restaurants, has anyone gone to HiHi Room? It’s the same people as Court Street Grocers.
