Pro tip--if there's a band playing outside at the Stone Pony that young people don't give a **** about, you can usually see/listen to them for free from the outside deck of The Watermark, which is across the street, and drink reasonably priced Head High (and awesome cocktails, if you prefer) instead of overpriced PBR inside the show.

They have a view of the Stony Pony's Summer stage?

Couldn't resist the hashtag Os

Question: is it crushable?

I mean .... it sounds like it is ... but you didn't specifically use the word crushable. Therefore, I am very hesitant to crush it.

Also, NJ is severely in need of a lager uprising.

I'm honored you guys used it.

There is a reason there is only a small amount

Yeah. I mean, if you already have tickets for the show, I'm sure it will be amazing and you should still do that. But for outside shows that I want to hear but don't necessarily want to pay for, yeah I'll go hang out on the deck at Watermark and drink a beer.

This isn't a perfect image but it was the best one I could find that gives you a sense of how close the deck is to the Stone Pony:

It seems like we are having too many good memories about NJ breweries, so let me do the opposite.

(this is from a few months ago, btw)

Ohhh ... the Sorry (I'm Not Sorry) Beer Series

nice!! its been a while man!

What time are we getting pork roll, eggies, and cheeses?

[SammyJaxxx]

Why?

 

[seedavid]

Why?

The hop variety they used in the beer, Michigan Copper, makes it smell like Hawaiian Punch, so I guess they took a little bit of it and just went all in. It isn't my thing, but it makes some sense, and its still a less gross/superfluous addition than say, running an agave lager through a Randall of insects.

According to Augie the fried crickets or whatever taste like Fritos which is a good compliment to the beer...as we all have paired our beers with crunchy salty chips of some sort at some time...or whatever.

Did I get that right augiecarton?

 

[MikeJones]

I didn't have this on release and got it from a friend so I'm not sure if it was improper storage or it didn't hold up very well but this might be the most meh IPA I've had from Troon so far...and I'm a sucker for Citra.

shame. one of the best meals i ever had, at noma, had crickets grasshoppers and ants in various parts of it. the ants were the coolest; because the chef limits himself to indigenous products and lemons don't grow in denmark , when he wants a lemony flavor he grinds dried ants (that taste like lemons) in a pepper grinder over a dish.
art born of limitation is often the most profound i find. but hey... strokes and folks

 

[regularjohn]

Is anyone stopping by Kane anytime soon? i need this glass

 

[gregkoko]

Now just give me Kolsch cans to proper in that glass

They're never gonna make everyone happy. I guess they find this worked for ANTEAD and it'll work for this too. More power to em.

Kane's problem is they care way too much about all the people crying on their facebook posts. They should just take the HF approach, limited releases only purchasable with creditcard/id so no one can just slime their way back in line to get extras.
