    Planning on making a trip on the 21st, whats the line going to look like at 1-2 pm? Any limits on OTWOA?

    Doubt there will be a line, but it's usually pretty crowded. I don't think there are limits on OTWOA, but I would call before to make sure they have some on hand.

    How long is OTWOA usually brewed? Going to DC the first weekend in April, and hoping there's still some around.

    It will be around. It used to be around pretty infrequently in the past, but it seems to be available at the brewery consistently the past 6 months. It's also on tap at a ton of places around DC/VA area, and even making it's way into MD now. It's by far their best brew, so I would say it's safe to assume it will be around for the foreseeable future.

    I think you mean 'how often', if so, it seems like they are canning it once a month so you should be able to pick some up at the brewery in April. I doubt you will find cans elsewhere.

    I've had it about 5 times and love it. It's available in PA only once and a while; would love to grab a case of it.

    Yes, that is what I meant :slight_smile:

    Thanks for the info. Does the brewery usually have a decent stock of it on hand?

    Seems to be much more readily available at the brewery now. They've upped their capacity over the last 6 months, maybe a year are producing it more often.

    They usually announce on Twitter when they can it, but I also beleive they sell the older dated cans if they have leftover stock (which they usually do). Cans have been pretty inconsistent the past couple months, so I stopped paying $18 for a sixer. It's delicious on tap though. They did a 40 case run during July/August 2014 that was unreal. I've yet to ever find it tasting/looking like that since that time.

    They will have OTWOA in cans. Now that they have their canning line up and running, they said it will be consistent. Still brewery exclusive.

    The last batch (1/19/15) was their best yet IMO.

    They've also expanded GH to Thurs, Fri & Sun. Half price pints on Friday. Usually have OTWOA on tap as well.

    Awesome info, thanks guys. What does OTWOA go for at the brewery?

    $19.99 a sixer

    Solar Abyss is awesome too, if they have it when you're there.

    I usually buy two cases each time it comes out, which as others said above is about every 4 weeks or so. I have yet to be disappointed by a batch, and they do vary as it is hopped with 7C's which can vary a lot over time as it is a mix of hops. Sometimes the Columbus stands out and makes for really dank flavors...like the July batch last year. They also added a nitro tap at Brau a few months ago and Wings on nitro is like a hop milkshake...soooo good!

    Cheers!

    It's 18.99 at the brewery. I'm heading out there Friday after work to stock up for the weekend.

    That's incorrect, NJ and PA get it

    Actually, it is correct. OTWOA cans are not sold outside of the brewery.

    Rodmans had a lot of it for sale when I was in there about 2 weeks ago.

    Really? My mistake then. At the brewery I was told cans are only available there. Interesting

    I picked up 2 six packs in NJ in two different stores in December. Seems as if we get it intermittently and randomly.
