    forgot to mention, happy thanksgiving y'all. i may complain a lot but it comes from a good place.

    currently drinking a coconut ANTEAD and it is mind blowing. wish i had some other half to sip on but this'll do.

    Christmas comes early. :stuck_out_tongue:

    You don't have to line up at 6am for a full allotment. :rolling_eyes:

    I'm sure all successful businesses (not just OH) will confirm to your schedule and desires after your boycott. Maybe will even arrange for home delivery for you. Late of course. :wink:

    Edit: Happy Thanksgiving to you. Maybe save some of your passion for world peace or world hunger.

    Could have done without the snarkiness but anyway...

    Seriously, I hear and understand your position but you tend to really over-do it...

    As I stated in the past, your message gets treated less seriously as a result that way.

    Agree to disagree. Plenty of people like my posts and have told me they agree with me. You may think I overdo it because you take a different position than I do. Either way, ever think that sometimes people don't want or need your advice? I'm cool just typing words on a message board. It might be surprising but I have plenty of other hobbies and interests. I do like discussing all aspects of beer.

    That was my introduction to coconut stouts and the standard i hold everything else to. Needless to say I'm frequently disappointed.

    Need to re-read my post that was right above yours...

    People will agree and disagree with you. You like to exaggerate and oversimplify things. They are a successful business that has made some changes posted from this thread.

    At this point, your posts are like a train wreck and a constant source of amusement to some. If you want to be taken more seriously, you might want to tone it down. Or not.

    Bottom line is that EVERYBODY would like to get their cans, WHENEVER they want them. Here in NY, we at least can always get a growler in their taproom if we miss out. Their beer is on tap throughout the area. Cutting limits puts additional strain on the new larger taproom which is getting too crowded already. Requires more staff and longer hours. Sure there are other business considerations. They don't want to do that or change their business model. That's their choice and your choice if you want to spend your money and time there.

    Personally, I'd rather be drinking a Coconut ANTEAD right now. I didn't get the chance to get any but I don't begrudge your good fortune. Cheers.

    eh I wasn't talking about limits or OH business practices in any subsequent post. Come Jan 1st though, I might put out a graphic novel.

    About to crack open a DDH AGE....would much rather have a coconut ANTEAD though.


    At least we can all agree that NYC/NJ is putting out some awesome beers -- in all different styles.

    Yeah but I imagine living in Buffalo is basically the same as living in the 9th circle of Hell.

    @crowlcrowlcrowl - OH + stout + delicious - All three of those words do not go together, please replace one :-)

    Even though I am a local who is legally entitled to this beer, I think the mobile can sales are a cool thing to do.

    I wouldn't even be mad if they did this in NJ or one of those stupidly named towns on long island like "Queens"

    They're definitely cool! It looks like they're aiming to become New York's PREMIER brewery.

    When the latest OH releases stop showing up on the EQ tasting table is when I am gonna have a problem. Really enjoy almost all of them, but not enough to be a dreaded "bridge and tunnel guy"

    Until then, carry on y'all, makes for fun reading gotta say.

    This is the cloudwater collab we saw on the keg list a couple weeks ago i think? If so, i had a taste and it wasnt that great to be honest.

    This has not been released or on tap yet. You’re probably thinking of Tough Call, the porter they also released with Cloudwater.
