I always check for dates.

I think the worst of the beer geeks have moved on from Aslin and now consider it second rate. Sure, there's better competition but I wouldn't turn my nose up at them.

Same goes for the Veil and whatnot.  Just stupid.

I've just moved on from hazy beers, primarily due the waistline and when I do buy it, I go Other Half which is far superior and easier to get for this MoCo guy vs. Aslin.

You said you're not drinking at al right now, but what diet beers do you recommend?

High Life is great.  Problem is, after drinking DIPAs they tend to go down way too quickly.

i have yet to taste a non-alcoholic beer that tastes like a proper beer, then again i've never tasted a craft version. 

Two local breweries are making craft beer without the buzz

Thanks.  Hadn't even thought about them.  Ordered some.

Stopped by the Other Half DC the other day to enjoy a beverage in their nice outdoor beer garden.
Excellent stuff...almost too much selection. Wish I didn't have to drive

Look at wealthy sidehalf buying $10 pints in a pandemic at a covid hotspot. You could've bought a case of beer for the cost of those pours!!!

I want to say the 16 oz cans were $7, but after tax/tip...
I don't even think back in the 90s you could get a case of the beast for that

I will still stand by my statement that $160 is too much for a six pack of beer (yes some were 22oz)

Only 4 to 6 bucks a can of you take a four pack home and drink it safely there.

I did a pickup there and I must say it's the worst OH location of the three I've been to.... Finger Lakes being the clear winner ..

And I'll stand by my statement that comparing those bottles to a regular six pack is uninformed.

Oh, and I just spent $10 per can to have Bluejacket delivered to my house. Wouldn’t normally do that but it’s a pandemic and breweries/people are struggling. No regrets whatsoever.

I suppose if I deducted the time it would take to go get them myself then it’s not a bad deal at all. My time is not free, y’all’s mmv.

Dumpy inconvenient part of town. Can't comment on the beer garden since I did curbside, though sidehutch gives it the thumbs up.
