    I will be in town for a wedding and would love to be able to get a bottle for my tasting group. How are these releases? Do they start selling right at noon or will there be a several hour wait?

    They start selling right at noon. Someone will come out about 5-10 minutes before to take a rough count of the line and determine the limit from that. People start showing up at 9 for Saturday noon releases. No earlier that that though, as a courtesy to the residents of the complex they operate out of.

    There's always a line on their big releases. It forms early but friends I know that can't come until nearly the last minute usually succeed in getting bottles. The releases I've been to start at 4:00 what's & noon for Sat releases.

    So how was the PN#3 release? Limits? Line? Usual details? How many unborn children am I going to have to give up for this one?

    I think there were 500+ that showed up. Heard the first person came around 6-7ish! The waiting wasn't bad at all because of the bottleshare and amount of awasome people there. Limit was 3/person and you can go through the line as many times as you want (most can go through twice and only a few were able to through 3 times).

    I went through once then when the line got shorter I decided to go back through, they sold out about 10 people in front of me lol. Looking back, I didn't need to drop another $90 on beer that day anyway!

    There was also a surprise Perennial release of Funky Wit.

    ProCATstination was another nice suprise. Help made waiting a lot more enjoyable.

    Did they release ProCats and Funky Wit to go in bottles? Or was it on site only?

    Both were available to go. ProCATstination was released on the 18th and was 1/person. Funky Wit was 1/person at the Pullings Nails B3 release and like PN you could gotton more if you went through the line again.

    Okie dokie, whats the deets on the Punchdown release? Looks like 4 bottles pp? $20? Judging by the trading boards right now, the St Louis is strong on this one. Cory's best release yet i assume?

    Side Project twitter? I don't see any mentioned on price/bottle. Allocation is always determined right before release.
