    Got there at 12:30, waited 10 mins in line and got the last 4-pack of Hop Showers. Successful enough for me.

    Funny, I think Oh... is the best beer that was released today. Getting a lot of green strawberry notes and it goes down easy. ACE is overrated IMO and I’m not feeling SD&B, way too sweet I couldn’t get through the full 16oz. The Other Day is tasting great as well.

    I don't think the "gotta have it" teku/glassware craze is attributed as much to FOMO as it is to modern Instagram culture. Everybody has a beer page and they have to keep up with a diverse and trendy collection of serving receptacles in which to pour the beer that they are posting about.

    I must say, I really don't understand why there are people out there that dislike Simcoe. Simcoe+Wai-Iti is delightful.

    This is very true, but collecting breweriana is a huge part of the beer world. There's a whole section here for it: https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/forums/breweriana.42/

    I'd wager that many of the posters railing against glassware have no idea how obscure the glassware market gets.

    Haha yeah I bet glass collectors' significant others and these massive collections don't mix well.

    They posted that there were only 3 cases available at 9:15 last night. I would wager that it's gone by now.

    Seems I’m not sharing the same love for Vic secret hop showers as you all. There’s something about that hop profile to me that always tastes a little mediciney. I liked the motueka and whichever the original DDH version was a lot more.

    I’m actually a little disappointed in the most recent OH cans I’ve gotten. I have one space diamonds can someone gifted me that will hopefully restore my faith.

    You might have gotten a bad can- so far mine have been great. Even better than the draft I tried in the taproom.

    This must have been a mistake. They’re now saying they have 30 cases.

    Did anyone else notice it said "Blue Cheese vs. Ranch" on some of the wangies cans? Clearly they saw our conversation.

    Your Instagram banning by OH suddenly makes sense :wink:.

    First visit to the new taproom yesterday, with @jrnyc, really cool setup they have there. Pretty good group of people there around noon, enjoyed being able to have some tasters of ACE and Hop Showers, and the Simcoe-Waiti John got me. It seemed like a nice place to spend a couple hours with friends around those tables, but god damn make something other than IPAs so it's not a 17-3 ratio.

    OH did a special Friday before XMAS release last year in place of Saturday. Wonder if they’ll follow suit this year.
