    Going to head there 5-6 and snag some -- was waiting for the temp to drop just a few more degrees...

    First and last time I wait in a line this big for beers. Thankfully, I live in Europe, we don't have that.
    It was too hot, no shade, forgot water :x I arrived just around 10:30, still waited ~1h30 (started line 2/3 of smith st). Arrived just before the end of Tropical Depression

    Had nice beers in the taproom.

    Just something to improve for OH, make real lines when you arrive inside the building, 10 people passed in front of me going on the second credit card line

    Cheers,

    The french guy

    $22 a 4pk

    Also, don't wait on opening Greenprint. Last time I tasted this much lime was Lime Green Galaxies and that flavor fell off pretty quickly.

    By the way, maybe it's been discussed on here already, but OH's growler prices were significantly more reasonable than before. Granted, I haven't been to the tap room in several months, but Topical Depression growlers were priced at $12/18 for 32/64oz. AGE growlers were priced the same, which is a HUGE improvement over the previous $20/32oz price. Growlers are finally cheaper than cans, which obviously makes sense. Really good stuff - I'll definitely be swinging by OH more often for fills at those prices rather than going to Milk & Hops, etc.

    That's surprising TD growlers were cheaper than cans though logical they would be. It's always the reverse.

    Now if only we could get Beermenus updates consistently though I guess one is generally safe to assume there will be something awesome there to fill with.

    I left work around 5 pm and there were still some stacks on stacks and baby diamonds left.

    They probably got a lot of slack on the prices. However, I think bigger yields on the beers is allowing them to drop the prices on the growlers.

    I showed up at 6pm with absolutely zero line and got everything I wanted. (2x Stacks, 2x Green, 2x Baby) I didn't ask about inventory.

    Did they hint at what the next release is?

    Boogie Board Stunz, All Citra Everything, Space Diamonds and (I think) Double Simcoe.

    Other than the fact that I have no clue what the hell Space Diamonds is, that sounds like my kind of release. Love Boogie Board Stuntz and I loved the single version of Simcoe.

    Haven't been to a release on a Saturday morning, but I'm loving the recent trend of beer still being available most of the day. Happened to be on an Ikea run this morning and stopped by around 1 PM and got Greenprint, Stacks and Baby Diamonds the latter two are tasting pretty delicious today.

    Seems like OH is learning quickly on how to deal with their massive popularity based on what I've read recently and saw today: more beer, better lines, better limits -- hats off to them.

    I'm sure they would've loved to be able to brew more beer earlier in the process. I don't think that's something they've "learned."

    The limits today were actually the opposite of any kind of reduction designed to extend beers. A 3 4pk Topical limit would've totally made sense. Instead of a limit reduction, it was a case each on Stacks and Baby Diamonds + 4 4s on each collab. Compare that to No Layups release of 3/3/2 or the All Dank Release that was also 3/3/2. That is, over the span of a few months, we're able to get over double the beer. I wouldn't yet expect today's limits to be the new norm though!

    The better lines have been awesome and the reductions where appropriate has made sense. Although the sudden 100 case All Citra a few weeks ago was unusual.

    Both of these collabs are tasting great! I was a little sceptical on Greenprints since it was brewed in less than two weeks, but it's great. The zest really comes through, and it does have kind of a tea-like quality to it. Both beers were great choices for such a hot day. I don't think I've ever felt that hot just standing still.

    I wish on hot days the line would run the opposite way and take advantage of the shade from the north side of the block.
