    Greed is a crazy thing :wink: Breweries suffer from it just like us.

    Does that mean all 100 sets for today are spoken for?

    They're definitely gone man, sorry. I'm no longer there so I honestly have no idea if they sold more than 100 because we left right when then figured out the cut-off but I would be very, very surprised if they did. Today was very, very smoothly run. The only butthurt person I can see is posting nonsense in this thread.

    I think it was over 100. I was #85ish, as someone was clicking through the line and told the guy in front of me he was safe. There were more than 15 people behind me but as people above said, smooth, quick release.

    Realistically what time are people lining up?

    I'm curious how many people are sleeping in hotel, can't think more than 100.

    Also for the record, the bottles are numbered.

    Kriek has 1107
    Berry has like 1070 or close to it
    Apricot has about 570
    Aardbei has about 550
    Crime had the fewest, about 410

    I'm obviously not exact on all those but I am close. You can see there are a bit more bottles than the announced allocations (100 today, 400 tomorrow)

    I would agree with that. The hotel is packed because of 3 corporate events and PSU commencement tomorrow.

    I cut it damn close today. I showed up at 11:30 and I think there were 12 full allotments left when I bought mine. Everyone in line by 12:15 got a full allotment today.

    I may be back tonight and try to get in on a share. The brewery is about 35 minutes from my parents place.

    I was the guy with the back/gray dog standing in line this morning.

    Bullfrog did not let any one buy a second allotment, people asked but were told that it was not allowed. Also when we left there were 2 allotments left and no one in line. But I'm sure those are gone by now. Very well run release, and I'm glad we got our bottles today!

    I feel like this thread collectively had a stroke. I have no idea what's going on.

    There are 400 allotments tomorrow. Today, you could be there at the time of the release and get an allotment and there were 100 allotments. Sure, some people are traveling overnight but you won't need to be in line at 1:30am.

    But today you had to basically pay a $150 surcharge to purchase your allotment, which for those who were traveling for the release anyways, wasn't a cost-effective way to handle it. I think it's hard to compare today's "release" to tomorrow's.
