    Heading there this weekend and probably will drive. I read the first post about parking, on the other side of the expressway and NOT McDs but does anyway have any other info? Is there a paid lot nearby at all or any tips?

    I don’t mind paying, the car is almost a burden but certainly better than carrying a case of beer on the subway.

    Alright people, I want to see a page per day from you. Can’t make that meet-up by the way which kinda sucks.

    I drove there last Saturday and had no issues finding parking down Smith St about 2-3 blocks from the brewery. There was actually quite a bit of street parking available, and I didn't arrive until about 10:30 am. This release will be way crazier though so YMMV.

    I haven't been to OH before like 1pm on a saturday, so not sure what the parking situation is during the usual line up for releases. However, I would park on Mill St between Hamilton and Clinton. It's free and a short walk to OH.

    If you go down Court St beyond the expressway, you can very very often find free street parking on Bush, Loraine and Bay Streets. Maybe 5 minute walk to OH.

    Honestly surprised that Alesmith on this list, do they do anything that people talk about besides the Speedway variants?

    Exactly what I was going to say. There’s a couple on that list that I’d be surprised about if it was BA, but not RB. But Alesmith a surprise on either one

    This list is so meaningless. Mikkeller and Evil Twin back to back?

    Not really, they are pretty much a one trick pony.

    EDIT: Then again I guess OH is also...

    Nope, admittedly I haven't had a ton of their beers, but I don't think they are on OH's level as far as IPAs go.

    Treehouse seems like the bigger omission to me, they do a lot of styles and execute them all incredibly well.

    I would have to disagree. I visited the brewery two years ago right as they started making the hazy IPAs they are now known for and every non-IPA I had from them was amazing. Their saisons/farmhouse ales in particular were stellar. I don’t know for sure but I would imagine they still make them.

    Does anyone actually use Ratebeer? Gotta be the worst web site and forum I have ever seen.

    Are we allowed to talk about them on here? I remember that phase where even saying Ra****er resulted in punishment
