    I checked and it looks like it could be in the twenties and snowing on Monday morning I would hardly call that pretty clear.

    In his defense the forecast previously stated 0% chance of precip on Monday, now they are saying 30% chance of scattered snow showers between 9am-11am. I still call that pretty clear, especially compared to what we have endured in years past. See you guys tomorrow!

    If I end up going in the morning, I was actually planning on bringing 2 boxes of joe and a dozen donuts to share in line. Despite my moniker, I'm not that greedy a person! But I may also try to come after lunch to get in with the 2nd/3rd wave. Depends on how much Nugget Nectar I drink tonight.

    Very nice! My wife and I brought a couple dozen donuts down from Tony's in Portland the year before last and they disappeared quickly, we met some very cool people and everyone was very grateful.

    Me and my friend are heading down to Portsmouth from Lebanon, NH. We're leaving at 6 a.m., hoping to be there around 8. Today I bought some of those toe warmers that stick to your socks and some hand warmers (it's going to be cold!). We plan to hit Dunkin on the way and get a bunch of donuts for the crowd. I cannot wait for this, just the spectacle of Kate Day. Beer geeks gathering, it's going to be fun. Look for us, I'm Bill and my friend is Dave (I'll have sustenance!)

    Enjoy!

    This sounds like it should be fun. I'm going to make the 1.5 hour trek sometime early morning...hope to see you all there braving the cold weather together!!

    Cheers!

    I'm thinking if I should consider that a challenge. :slight_smile:

    I'm fortunate enough to have family that live right downtown, so consider me in line at the moment (I'll get in line whenever I actually see the line)

    7:20 am and 100 people in line. I'm here around the corner in front of mariwoods. Word is 7 barrels of Kate on tap. 8$ 8 ounce pours. 2 dollar snifters. Bottles look sweet. Short stubby "duvel" style bottles with a label similar to the scratchoffs.

    I can't believe it's time for the annual "consolidate all KTG threads into one" day

    People seriously showed up at 3am. Nothing like taking something fun like beer and completely ruining it. Congrats, guys!

    I think last year it was $7.50 for 10oz pours, year before $7 for 10-12oz, forget which.

    I am bringing a case of Heady Topper for trading purposes. I will be there around 2:00. Anyone in attendance interested in trading, shoot me a message. Cheers!

    I assumed the intense people would show up at around 5, I guess I was wrong. I think I'm quickly turning from beer geek to beer scrooge.

    How is that "ruining it" maybe getting in line at 3 AM is fun for them.

    I guess being huge loser could be really fun for some people.
