    From May thread, sounds like Still Shinin' should be a double batch, that is, no need to rush.

    And boogie board stuntz was released 5/30, cans should be available still.

    Very excited to make a long overdue trip to OH and others this weekend. Lineup looks great. The summary for the monthly thread is great but a few noob questions:

    What's trading in line like? Thinking of hauling up a few Funky Buddha bottles and curious folks' experiences.
    Hoping to grab all three cans from the Saturday release, is 830ish a smart arrival time?
    What time do pours start flowing in the taproom? A bit unclear from my research. Is it noon? Just curious if there might be a lag between buying cans and pours.

    Thanks all!

    Lots of trades inline(lot of people use instagram to set these up), 8:30 you SHOULD get everything,you'll be able to get pours right away. Don't park at mcdonalds, watch out for cops writing open container tickets.

    I usually base how hyped a release is by the amount of comments on instagram. I see that there's 89 comments on this weekends release, last weekend has 156. Seems like maybe this weekends line won't be too bad?

    Also, can we get a double batch of DDH ACE in the near future?

    Random question: Does anyone know what credit card payment swiping system Other Half uses on the iPads?

    Talked to Sam tonight at an OH event down in Philly about the opening of their new taproom. He said it all comes down to the city and the processing of paperwork/redtape.

    He said once they get the OK they'll be ready to open ~3 weeks later.

    Just got here. Really surprised at how short the line is. Not even to Garnet yet.

    If you're close at all, go. Shortest line I've ever seen there. Still Shinin' is phenomenal.
