    I was there yesterday, didn't get any bottles of Kiwi and they didn't have it on tap but regardless I didn't leave disappointed after 2 pints of Nelson, 3 bottles and a Growler to go.

    It was rather glorious. I got my pint then went outside to wait for a table, I think maybe 5 minutes passed by, got called in and basically needed another pint. Not sure where the beer went but my tummy was warm and happy.

    Agreed, it is amazing. Luckily we were there on Wing Wednesday so it was wings and pitchers of Nelson. Not to mention the Kiwi on draft. It was a glorious day. My wife is alright with sours, but this was the first time she really seemed to enjoy one. I guess she isn't trading her bottles now :wink:

    Yup, no Kiwi on tap today, but that Nelson was on another level. And the BBA Odin's Raven? Damn incredible nose, awful nice down the gullet too. Not too shabby a day at all.

    First time going to an Alpine release. Will the BPT receipt on your phone suffice or do we need to print it out?

    You just need to show your ID.

    Maybe it was different picking up at the brewery instead of the pub but Thur. night there were 2 girls ahead of me and the guy said they needed either the receipt or the email with their ID.

    Either way, have more information at the ready just in case.

    I also heard someone not have the actual print out and they were given a hard time. Still got their beers though. I would bring a print out of your ticket unless you really can't.

    I drove by on my way to work (roughly 11:03 a.m.) and the line was all the way to the brewery.

    It takes them longer without the ticket, that's why they get pissed off.

    Only to the brewery? Aww, I was hoping longer. It would be funny if they were really checking ids and only giving tables to San diegans.
