Sounds like Coffee Cognac is pretty much confirmed to be a variant this year.

 

are those items sold at dld or online?

 

Previous years they were at the festival. The line usually moves really slowly, so if you are serious about getting them, I'd try to get there first.

 

Is it all in one place? At opening or later? Thanks

 

One place at the opening. But again, everything is fair game to change.

 

I sent them a message a while back to see how they would change the process this year because last years glassware sale was a complete shitshow. When I got in line, I was about the 15-20th person from the table, and in about 10 minutes I was about 100 people from the front of the line. I hope it's different this year, but the no limit thing on the goblets is going to be a problem.....

they assured me they have taken steps to correct the issues from last year, but I'm not optimistic they have.

 

No? Just honest.

IF you can get to Chicago. If the Wise Guys Superstore says no, which to me "super store" there means large store large quantities, not large variety, then you probably struck out.

 

I'm ashamed of myself for knowing that I'll be standing in line for that stupid coffee mug.

 

I'll be in line for all of it again this year....i really hope it's not the shitshow it was last year, but with no limits on mugs and goblets I'm sure it will be a train wreck again.

 

Man... So one should go there first then get bottles... Man I guess there's a good reason to be group b

 

I found that out last year when I missed out on the DL 11 that was for sale. That's why I shot for B: you can get a shot at stuff with long lines and the BVDL should still be gettable.

 

They sold some snifters and mugs online last year a few weeks after DLD IIRC.

 

I'm probably wrong, but I thought it was just snifters.

 

It was mugs too.

 

They sold the silver mini snifters and silver mugs online last year as a preorder for a day or two after dark lord day.

Also i think the count last year was around 800 mini snifters...so it sounds like there will be a lot more...which is good.

 

I'm not sure if you quoted the wrong message.

But when I called the "super store" that was when I got the woman who said she hadn't heard of it. When I called the smaller store that's when I got the guy that said they had it at the smaller store, but none of the hopped varieties and to try to super store.

I was planning on hitting up a bottle shop anyway to grab some stuff, so it's still worth it to me to check out the super store just in case.

I'm hoping my friend with the General Admission ticket does me a solid and waits in that line while I wait in my group sales line.

If not then I will share your shame lol.

I really want to get a bomber of the iced coffee and take home package of the beans as well.
