    Are all the BB French Toast orders filled? I had to leave and go to work at church. I submitted my card right when I walked in at 7 and had to leave at 9 before they really got moving. They told me I just need to come pick it up by 10pm. I was somewhere between 130-150... I didn't know if they were going to try and notify anyone. Any help would be much appreciated!

    No, I wish. I'm retired for the season. Will return in full force fall 2013

    Your order should be there ready for you to pick up by 10:00. Kinda doubt they'll call since they're not going to hold it after that time.

    FWIW - I thought the Kap'n crunch berry was very solid. Tasted just like it to me. Lucky Charms lager was pretty decent, but I really enjoyed the Cocoa Puffs Stout, Blueberry Pancake and Grapefuit Wit. Had high hopes for the Cookie Crisp dunkel but it fell a bit flat for me.

    I think you were much better off coming a bit later in the morning. Had no trouble getting a bottle of the BB French Toast.

    Fun event. Hope they do it again.

    A buddy sent me a text at 6:40am and said about 150 people in line, that's when I decided to roll the dice, and roll over back to sleep.

    My group walked in at around 12:15pm, put in our order for BB French Toast, walked up and landed 3 seats at the bar almost immediately and proceeded to have a an amazing time. Awesome crowd, and staff. Our BBFT order was filled about 10 minutes after sitting at the bar. Hung out until 3, drank my fair share of everything. Was not a fan of most of the Breakfast beers though. I guess Lucky charms would be the only one I could actually stomach a glass of because I love Vanilla.

    Yeah forgot to mention I was number 354 when I came in at Noon. So if the bottle count is correct @ 361, I doubt there is any left unless people did not pick up earlier orders

    I walked in around 6 or 7 and didn't need an order form for a bottle of the French Toast. They brought it to me at the bar without a problem.

    I just walked in about a half hour ago and purchased a bottle. The bartender also hooked me up with a free sample of the Lucky Charms beer. Not a bad way to start my Monday.

    This event restored my faith in st. paddy's day. Before my craft drinking days, back in college, I despised the whole drinking atmosphere the day brought. Similar to the day before Thanksgiving or New Years eve, bars are flooded with amateurs that quickly show they can't handle their booze. With that said I just avoid all three days each year, usually staying at home rather than chance going out.

    Conversely, I enter Kuhnhenn yesterday around noon and the place is full but not crazy. People are having a great time and enjoying the beer and respectable breakfast spread. Quickly find my friends and step out to the beer tent where there's no line at the taps and get a pour of Cocoa Puff Stout (which was incredible). Hang out for a while, wander over to the register and place my order for BBFT and KRE. Go back to drinking for a while where I tried the Cinnamon Toast Crunch beer (tasted like red hots, not so great) and the Wild Blueberry Pancake Ale, which was great. Found a corner around 1 to set up my computer, struck out on DLD tickets, shrugged it off and went and picked up my order.

    Honestly, I cannot remember the last time I ventured out for St. Paddy's and actually enjoyed myself until yesterday. Cannot wait for this next year.

    Plenty of BA French Toast available. Also, all of the beers except Cocoa Puff Stout is available in growlers.

    The growlers are pretty cheap too. I was shocked at how little the tab was, for Kuhnhenn anyway. :slight_smile:
