    well yeah, exactly. I will roll in around then and get whatever is around still ha, but I was just saying to the point of numbered wristbands, why would anyone still wait in the line with one all night when then could just come back realistically

    Well the post says you have to stay in line. Though they should expect people to leave line for food or bathroom, so who knows. I doubt #linelife people are local anyway.

    Well, back to the question of what does local mean?

    Someone who is close enough to go home if they get a numbered wristband.

    I am in NJ, but literally 20-25 mins with no traffic. I consider myself semi-local, I can pop in whenever and visit the tap room pretty regularly outside of when I want to get cans

    So 3 AM wristband, 10 am (but more likely 930) release, anybody 3ish hours away?

    I've long thought lots of Jersey counts as local to OH! I'm in nyc and my trip is only 2 trains (though 1 tomorrow!!!!), and almost an hour.

    That's about how long it takes me to go there from Bed Stuy on the G. But c'mon guys, OH still hates locals...even if we don't know what local means.

    The monkish collaboration Instagram post said final allotments are subject to change on release day. Hopefully they cut allotments to (3) 4-packs.

    I never understood the whole numbered wristband thing, whether you stay in line or not.

    Maybe, but if someone is going to drive 12 hours they might as well stay in line, no? ‍♂️

    That new brewery Fat Orange Cat that has been canning out of Twelve Percent just canned a beer paying homage to @lorenzothebeercat.

    This is the first time a brewery has been put on my "do not buy" list without me ever even tasting any of their beer.

    True... get wrist band at 3. Drive to Equilibrian get a wristband there, drive back to OH, then back to Equilibrium. Maybe fit in Hudson Valley?

    That cat is going to end up licking a 10% abv quintuple dry hopped beer and use up all of its 9 lives.

    It’s like EQ putting the face of the dude that basically works for them for free on their latest beer can. Why do these brewers feel the need to coddle their fan base?

    I'm hoping for at least a "RobNewton hates locals" stamp on the bottom of a can one day...

    Then I'll have made it.

    @frozyn I'm like 3 blocks from The Wilky, it's my local spot (not that there are really any other options).

    If you know to say "on line" rather than "in line."

    Serious question: on a non collab fuckshow day, what would you say is my late cutoff to get there and get just a 4 pack of whatever they’re releasing? 8-9am?

    Is it just me, or does "line up at 3am for wristbands" contradict "please be respectful in our residential area"....

    Nowadays? Just show up at opening or a few hours after if you really want to roll up, buy your beer, and leave immediately. The only core Other Half beers that seem to sell out quickly are the Daydream series.

    Sensing the negativity...I think we are all feeling that same feeling when that cool, unique thing you loved - and were one of the first few to get into - suddenly gets taken over by hype and quickly becomes uncool because it got cool too fast.. Starter jackets, AirMax, early Nas/JayZ/Big/Wu, etc. You still love it, but it’s watered down, because the nerd down the street rocks it and only does it because it’s cool and doesn’t “get” the reason why it was so cool to begin with because they weren’t there. ....steps off his soapbox

    Completely, and it's really sad that they are doing that, while simultaneously saying "plenty of beer". They know they need these line lifers pay their bills though I guess

    Nah. I just like good beer. I don't care who likes it or purchases it, I just want to be able to drink it without going to extreme lengths. This has nothing to do with what anyone else is doing or thinking.
