    I'd be willing to bet the White Chocolate is going to be very subtle and will probably provide some of the lactose characteristics of the Milkshake beers. I'm still very interested in this collab.

    Im very interested to see how the white chocolate plays. Lots of fat in white chocolate that can cause a ton of issues. These breweries are all very smart so im sure they figured it out.

    Omnipollo and Tired Hands in particular have a strong track record with weird & untraditional ingredients.

    I'll be going for the AGE and hope to score some of the collab. I haven't had AGE cans at my disposal in ages and I'm hopeful the new process will speed things up even with a release like this.

    Plus that last batch of AGE cans was FIRE!

    It's just a delightful beer. I love the collabs but give me AGE and a single hop and I'm happy AF

    I'm personally not a huge fan of 9%+ beers so I tend to stay away form AGE. Fantastic beer just too strong for me.

    I'm patiently waiting for the imperial Nelson single hop beer to drop! However, I did hear a rumor that there is a nelson hop shortage, so this may just be a dream.

    Haha I'll be staying away from any establishment I have to wait more than 10 mins at during Isles playoff days. Solid win tonight. LGI!

    OH will be serving beers at the Red Hook Crit this Saturday. A special pale ale has been brewed for the event with Citra, Topaz, Galaxy, and Kohatu. 4.6%abv.

    There will be food trucks and lots of people running and biking. Come out!

    You damn right. man. With all the crap going on in my personal life right now, the Isles have been a rock. Got a little weird there, for a minute tonight, but a win in the playoffs is a win.

    Couple questions

    1. Are Double Comfy and First Things First still pouring in the taproom? Haven't tried them and would really like to - but can't make it to OH until the weekend probably.

    2. Anyone have problems with Stacks on Stacks cans? Opened one up last night and drain poured it - Tasted like straight alcohol/nail polish. Didn't have any beer taste or aroma. My previous cans were good - this is very odd.

    I saw them both on the tap list this morning. Will they make it until the week-end? Not sure.

    I personally had no issues. Opened a can a few days ago and it was fine. I got one more I'll check out tomorrow.

    So with Bissell Brothers, Modern Times and others in town do you think we will see some more collabs?

    I see Boogie Board Stuntz is back. Sweet! Anyone know if they are doing growler fills of this?

    A Bissell collab would be choice.

    After doing a bunch of reading, still very confused and hopefully someone can straighten things out for me.

    I was planning on stopping by while I was in town on Saturday, will there be any can of anything available, or are cans only available when they have a release every other weekend?

    No cans available this weekend, only every other weekend when they do a release.

    Stopped by yesterday and both are no longer available.

    Cans are only available when they do releases every other weekend.

    Man thats very disappointing. Can't even get growlers because I wont be to a fridge for hours and those are no fun to lug around.

    You might end up having a better time though. The tasting room is small and can get pretty cramped on can release days.
