    I like to get there around 9. Pretty much always guaranteed my allotment, and not waiting in line TOO long.

    I had it when first released in December. I enjoyed it but its also not really a style I would seek out again.

    Does anyone know if AGE is going to show up on tap across the city or is my best bet to go directly to the brewery?

    To anyone asking about Mosaic is President a few pages back, it's not a DIPA, it's a 100% brett-fermented IPA.

    Also, @jrnyc think my lady is working that day so should be free to swing down

    A place claims to have a keg of Make it Rain for release this Friday... I was just wondering how do they have it when the cans haven't even released.

    They brewed it several weeks ago, so I don't see why kegs couldn't be distributed. They often have canned beers on tap in the taproom a few days before can releases too.

    These are the NYC beer week kegs going out. The canning won't be until next Friday, but kegs are going out for all the NYC beer week events.

    You're right. I just cracked open a can of AGE and it's definitely more cloudy than previous batches (well at least compared to some pics of AGE I took last year).

    And as everyone has been saying - this batch is really nice. Smooth and not hot.

    Soooooooooooooooon! I'm actually going to be in NJ for a beer olympics.

    Yea, it's a thing. And we don't discriminate between seasons either.

    These past two batches of AGE have really blown me away. Wasn't sure if it was my palate or the beer that has evolved... glad to hear you all agree that it's the beer.

    Had my first AGE from this batch directly after a Julius and had a hard time deciding which I liked more. That is saying a lot. Very high hopes for this upcoming Citra.

    Just FYI, I posted a link to it a page or two ago, but there's an OH/Barrier/Threes tap takeover at One Mile House this weekend. Both Barrier/OH collabs will be on tap as well as a bunch of other good stuff. Link: http://www.beeradvocate.com/events/info/78032/
