    I think the first part of your text describes exactly 0 people in beer lines. But hey, whatever floats your boat.

    They do sell bottles, but as the Ewok says "prepare your anus". They aren't cheap. They've announced Fou Foune and Lou Pepe Kriek on tap.

    As for prices, last time this level of beer was available at Trappist the pours were $13.50 (or maybe $13.25, it was something like that) for 8 ounces. I expect something similar this time, but maybe they'll be in a giving mood.

    The crapton of rain that's expected to start hitting the Bay Area tomorrow and lasting thru Sunday should make the wait oh-so-much-fun. Builds character, right?

    Or builds smaller lines. This is a good thing, IMO.

    The Trappist said they're opening the doors at 11am now, due to rain and the Holiday Parade.

    This is from Trappist's facebook page:

    "Serving size of zwanze is limited to 6 oz. so we can accommodate up to 170 servings. 25cl glasses of Fou' Foune & Lou Pepe Kriek will be available."

    Wonder what they'll be charging for pours. Also wonder if they'll have any different bottles for sale, the prices are usually a bit high but I guess it comes with the territory.

    I expect they'll be charging in the neighborhood of $13. Unless for some reason they drastically reduce prices from the last time they had these types of 'loons.

    I think Russian River charged about half that last year. Of course I had to buy a round trip bus ticket to get there.

    Of course I'd have to buy a round trip BART ticket to get to Trappist too. But I'm a habitual early riser, so I'm thinking I'll probably shell out.
