$9/4-pack at Beverage Store on Florida.

Very nice. It's like $12+ for a 4 at every other place I've seen.

As the people before mentioned, turn down the lights and play music. When there is a big game on, turn off the music and play the TV sound. 2 of the easiest things you can do.

Next, use your damn Instagram account. I know y'all use Facebook, but Instagram is a much better platform for this. And don't just post pictures of the logos of the beer, post a picture of the beer in a glass. If I see that at 4:30, its tempting as hell to stop by after work or something.

Do trivia. Chimes does it, Bulldog does it, tons of bars do it. Its a fun time, but make sure you do it right or nobody will go back again for trivia. Can't imagine its all that expensive either.

Not sure the legality of it, but sell growlers/crowlers. You are known to have the best beer selection in BR, people would stop in to buy a growler or a crowler.

Have a big event every once in a while.



After that, it gets expensive. Remodel the inside so it doesn't look so terrible. Would love for y'all to have a much bigger outdoor patio, but I know y'all probably can't make structural changes to the building. Would be cool to have a big garage door out the back like Zippy's and Radio bar.

it's 6 weeks old

When Oskar Blues, Ballast Point, and other big brews hit the market, we got the 2-month old leftover IPAs from distributors. Now we can't even buy up all the local hops.

Saw some 4/27 Envie at Rouses Tchoup last week.

So any of you frickers going to be there at the sawce after 5?

No line, and they still have everything. Limits are one case of ghost, 2 crowlers of quad, 2 crowlers of double, and unlimited ghost crowlers.

Yeah, I was pretty surprised by that. they had a good amount of ghost cases left, stacked up on pallets.

Yeah. There were a lot of cases left. I don't see them selling out in the next hour that they're open. There was zero line.

Yep. Saw some of the mosaic DDH envie at whole food on the shelf a couple of days ago. I'm hoping that was their last foray into mosaic.

FWIW, that was drinking better than 4XDH today. I was pretty anti-DDH Mosaic at first, but it's slowly and quietly rounded into a solid beer. That being said, the 4XDH is going to be a dream 10-14 days.

This batch of Ghost is good, like the last batch, but maybe a little more full-bodied and sticky. It's going to get really nice.

Did you like the last batch?
