    they were flying. I was 144 and out round 6. cards were over 300 before I left. I'd say 530 pm give or take. so they could make 500. hats off to them tho during the madness. side note I saw least a dozen or more get just good morning for growlers. maniacs lol.

    I had Good Morning last Thursday…it was a glorious beer, but my favorite TH stout is still Double Shot w/ Sumatra. Anyways, thanks for the line # count guys, i'll just wait for Good Morning next year…the parking lot must be a mess?

    Today was my first time there for growlers. I got there around 330 and was out by 520. Thought they did an excellent job with the crowd.

    Yea. I got my cans at around 7:30 and ran away as fast as possible. I think it was when order 280 was filled and the pile of new slips looked to be the size of Moby Dick. Get some Good Morning next time around. I live reasonably less than 45 minutes away so at least its not a huge deal.

    2 hours for me. Cool to run into friends to make the wait easier.

    So much for getting cans around 2pm on Saturday. Oh well. Maybe next week.

    Showed up at around 3:45 and was not expecting to be number 150 in line. Even when King Julius and Julius were on a few months back, I was only in the 80s when I showed up at the same time.

    The crew at Tree House is top notch as always. They decided it was best to open early at 4 and continued to churn out growlers fills at crazy speeds.

    Crazy what the hype machine has done to this brewery though.

    Curious to hear what the average wait was? I know the gang at TH are busting their asses trying to appease the masses and I am not trying to down their sales approach but it seems like alot of time needs to be invested in exchange for a 6 can PP return.

    The can line is always quick and efficient. Maybe 20 min on the busiest days. Well worth Julius and Alter Ego.

    The Treehouse crew were phenomenal tonight. Responded to the massive turnout by opening their doors at 4:10. I was #87 and had my growlers filled by 5:05. Every time, these guys over-deliver on their beer, and their customer service. Great experience tonight.

    Hope is now returning. Heading up there next month for a wedding and was really starting to rethink even entertaining stopping by... Though I would like to try their beer.

    So I wonder if the planned expansion of hours to Wednesdays would be just cans. That would be so slick considering how in-and-out easy these random Wednesdays have gone. I worry that a full-service (including growlers) Wednesday would just become the new Thursday...

    I got there at 6:20. Filled out slip. I was #363 (holy crap!). I think they were filling #150's at that time. Got through can line in about 3 minutes. Went off for some shopping and a bite to eat. Got my growlers back at 8:30. Good job lowering the limit to 3 growler fills. Whole thing was flawless. World class production they've got going on. I do think they need to make another door so you can get to the cans easier than walking through the growler chaos though.
