Other Half February 2018

Where's the line? J/K.

Seriously, how many people are going to line up right after the tap takeover on Friday...

 

Guess I won't be stopping by around noon to grab cans of Space Diamonds.

 

No glassware and less than a case limit each? That line just got a half-mile shorter.

/s

 

Is it crazy that I’m glad I went today and got DDH Oh and DDH DMD. This sounds like a recipe for a madhouse release.

 

Was supposed to head down to OH for the first time this Saturday. Now I am second guessing that. Is the can line separate from the draft/growler line? Was thinking of heading down in the afternoon, mostly to try some pints. If any of the other 2 releases were left, great, not even going to try for the Monkish collar, dont feel like waiting in line for hours.

 

There are separate lines for draft pours and growlers, but I'd imagine the tasting room is gonna be slammed for a huge chunk of the day.

 

I was going to stop by Saturday morning and buy a few 4 packs. As much as I would like to pick up the monkish collab, don’t want to wait four hours in line for it. Scratch those plans.

 

Hopefully they have it on tap for the Monkish takeover on Friday? That would be great...and makes sense. They had all the anniversary beers on tap the night before ...

 

I'm hoping someone brings these beers to the NYC Opening Bash

 

Between OH and Monkish being there, I would hope so. Also hoping Hudson Valley will have this weekends releases.

 

@dhaakon, what's the over-under on people lining up tomorrow night before 9 PM?

 

While I'm sure the line will start the night before, hopefully the Monkish collabs last at least until noon. Limits are low (and subject to change), HVB and Equilibrium are releasing beers too, along with half the city, so maybe it won't be tooooo bad?

 

Although they also say "stay tuned for more beer week info" so who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I wanted to bring up True Green before the madness of the weekend distracts us. What a GREAT beer! Glad I still have a few cans left.

 

I’ll be shocked if the Monkish beers last the line.

 

Usually HVB and EQ releasing the same day mean less of a crowd at OH but I think Monkish will draw the crowd like moths to a light. I’m fully expecting the beers to not even last the line. The huge line will also draw away from the “regular” OH release meaning casuals will have slim pickings rolling up later after the line is gone. Ugh.

 

I'd be surprised too in all honesty, although the Trillium beers did last until 11am, and they were at similar allotments.

 

@SpinSamzo is on to something though. This is a huge weekend for a lot of the heavy-hitters in the greater NYC area. Not too sure how much that will impact the OH line, but it's something to be considered.

With this release and HVB releasing two new cans at the same time, I can assure you that Hazeboiz are working around the clock developing new cloning technology.
