Pliny the Younger - Philly?

...so I'm going to be late on Tuesday.

 

updated info from Monk's:

Hey Campers,
Please join us on Monday, March 2rd @ 11:30AM for a very special event.
We will be tapping the East Coast’s first keg of Russian River Pliny the Younger.
All that cash will be donated to Alex’s Lemonade Stand.
Last year we raised $25,000.00 for charity at this event. Please give generously.
This is a CASH ONLY event.
We purchase the beer, pay our coworkers and donate 100% of the money to charity, but we don’t want to pay a credit card company their transaction fees.
RAFFLES:
I finally put together our Raffle lineup for Monday. I dug deep into my cellar for some of these gems. We will sell 100 tickets to each of these raffles @ $10 CASH each. We will be able to raise $4,000 for Alex’s Lemonade Stand from the sale of these raffle tickets. The more tickets you buy, the better your odds of winning. 100% of this money goes to Charity. These are CASH ONLY!

Wow. Quite a list. 1971?? How do you even have that kind of discipline?

Why did I not take work off tomorrow?...

 

Damn, that Raffle #3 with the Wild Friendship Blend is tempting...

 

Anyone have a picture from the line?

 

Those raffles.... wow.

 

Yes, someone please post pictures of the line - want to live vicariously through you.

 

Anyone in line?

 

Damn..sitting in class already. Don't really care about the PtY..some of those raffles though...

 

20 people in line now. @845am

 

At $15 / 6oz, shark's been jumped. Any line pictures?

 

Damn.. 845 last year line was already in the alley.. weather must have scared folks away... that and some people may still think the event is tomorrow...

 

How's the line looking now, an hour away?

 

Keep an eye on your Hulmeville Inn Twitter/Facebook tomorrow

 

EDIT to the above. They are not tapping Younger tomorrow. They are only receiving the keg tomorrow and will not tap it tomorrow.

 

@Blakeo You still going up for a tapping?

 

Just out of curiosity, at what time did Monk's kick their keg? Around 2? Did Iris kick as well?

 

I was told it kicked between 2:30-3. The raffles were also done early, Iris was still on as of 6pm when I was there.

 

Iris & FW XVIII had kicked by time I got there at just before 7.

Supplication kicked shortly before I left, maybe 8:30.

 

Since a keg was served at Monks, is it safe to assume that all kegs have now arrived in the city?
