    Can't log in either. I got to the CR screen and then it timed out

    Good thing this was posted to BA so all of the window-lickers who aren't even in RS/HS could try to buy CR and crash the site.

    In all seriousness, what is the excuse this time? "Oh, well we couldn't have estimated the amount of traffic..." The Bruery knows EXACTLY how many people are in RS/HS respectively, so there is absolutely no excuse for how poorly their site handled the traffic. If you're going to pump something like this up, at least make sure your servers can handle the amount of people you sent an email to.

    Sheesh.

    Seems like everyone got only 1 bottle...soon as you updated the cart it was saying out of stock...

    Secret ploy by the Bruery so that people couldn't buy more than one bottle each? (joking) I couldn't even update my cart to add more bottles.

    Smart? maybe

    Sad? Yes

    At least I got one bottle of each

    that was an error that they had earlier, but I would say it is safe to assume that everyone got one in their cart, and yeah, they were gone before you could hit update.

    Well, at least we've already got some bottles on hand. Would have loved to have some more.

    I would be cool if you could stream Tom Petty's "The Waiting" on your website next time.

    I mean if your site can't handle people trying to buy your beer at least make the timer go away, or lengthen it out. 15 Minutes was gone waiting to get to the CC screen.

    i guess i wasnt fortunate enough to get one extra bottle by the time i was able to log in
    it says out of stock so pissed that is the worst
    they should have a random lottery so that it is fair to all the reserve members to have an equal chance to get more bottles this site crap is definitely upsetting

    Typed in the wrong expiration date for my CC... and was just barely able to check out my 1 bottle with less than 30 seconds to go. Although I am relieved to hear that most others were only able to get 1 bottle as well.

    Check your email. Mine did the same thing, but lo and behold, I have a confirmation in my email so I'm calling it a win.

    Well, this sucked. Tried twice to add a few bottles to my shopping cart. Site went dont/stopped loading and by the time it worked again CR was out of stock. Nice job bruery.

    Oh hey...

    Also, I got one. My brother was actually fighting a Colossus in Shadow of the Colossus while I was watching my counter go down. The epic music made it MUCH more stressful
