    Saw on their blog they are doing a release and haven't been to any half acre releases before. I was wondering if 10am will suffice to get a few bottles. Doors open at 11. Any info would be appreciated!

    consult the other thread but they usually make more then enough of it that you dont have to line up early. the last few years Ive walked up a few hours after opening, got a pair and went home in 10 minutes.

    $hit's changed fellas. . . I'll be there by midnight or shortly after, will there be a place for a bottle share?

    Wonder how many Proprietors I could get for one of these?

    I was there yesterday, was told there is practically no way they're going to sell out on Sunday. If you can't make it on Sunday, you should be good on Tuesday.

    How was the release? Did it all get picked up or is there a chance this will still be available there on Tues?

    I stopped in around 4:30 and there seemed to be plenty left -- full cooler and at least 20 cases sitting out. Still available for growler fills as well.

    Furkins sold out early, but still plenty for sale and plenty on tap. 6 bottle limit, plus 64oz in growlers.

    Yes awesome release, but knowing that their was plenty available I will come later next year instead of standing in the freezing cold for an hour!

    It sold out at the brewery super fast last year, but I found it at Binnys, so it shouldn't be too difficult to get for the most part.

    the rumor I over heard at around 4 yesterday was that the growler fills were almost out but bottles should be around for a few days.

    I believe it was Gabriel who said 4 pallets were made and like 160 kegs. So there is plenty.

    I was there Sunday around 7 p.m. and there were still plenty of bottles left. If it's anything like in years past, you should be able to pick some up later this week without problem.

    I picked up some Big Hugs earlier today. The fridge was well stocked.

    ISO of this also for TG IPA's and Pale Ales. I've got both multiples of Red and Green XHops. Also willing to do this + Solemn Oath's Combat Marshmallow for a Bomb! + some others.

    Is BA Big Hugs still on tap? I see a few people checking into it today and yesterday but they could be old checkins.
