    I'll be there, keeping my expectations low, probably backwoods, but that's okay!

    Thanks for the info Pete. I'm sure it'll ramp up every day now until Saturday before opening. People lining up at the store entrance or the entrance to the bar? And once you're in does the line just go right to the cooler for bottles?

    was very good, a ton of maple and more vanilla and oak than sweet repute. It had to warm a bit for the maple though, it was straight Bourbon and oak cold.

    If it follows the cellar tap list it would be '12 - '14 Imperial tomorrow and '12 - '14 backwoods Friday.

    Who knows though...

    Why would the person say, "Make SURE to be here tomorrow for bottles." If it wasn't something more special than Imperial stout which anyone could have plenty of. My money (and a bottle of BCBS if there's any takers to put up a similar bottle) is on something backstage.

    Would cases of any backstage beer over the last 2-3 years surprise anyone?

    Speaking to one of the "barrel monkeys" in the back (Who just got finished barreling '16 KBS yesterday morning, btw) he told me that there will be a few years of Imperial Stout for today's bottle release. Not saying there won't be something additional to that, but this is just what I heard.

    Also, he confirmed that they didn't bottle any CBS besides the employee Christmas gifts.
