    Not sure, but they did not last time, and it was about a 45-60 minute wait

    to add to my post above, I actually walked in, was second in line for growlers and put in my growler order, when your growlers are done they will call you and you can pick them up with your cans so you don't have to wait in line for cans if you order growlers. My friend got online for cans only and I stood on it with him and my growlers were done about 3 people before he got his cans, so I was done a bit early.

    I can't believe there's no line. So rare to get bot cans and No 2 is incredible. Wish I could go...

    Haven't had Bot in cans in forever. Grabbed four 4packs and may send my wife to get some tomorrow if it's moving that slowly.

    According to comments on FB there were 14 cases left around closing time.

    More than that. They had a pile sitting on the other siide of the glass on the brewery floor as well.

    Good. People can be asses on FB. On nebcos page people blatantly lie.

    That may have been what they had left in the tasting room.

    FWIW NEBCO's updated Facebook today says they'll have less than 10 cases left when they open. Also sounds like the #2 won't last long.

    not sure if the "wittle" is just baby-voice trying to be funny or if there is only a little left.

    I dunno, I thought the "some" used for the other 2 indicated a difference in amount left.

    Fat Ten-er #2 is the only FT beer that doesn't last more than a day or two. It is definitely their most popular one. Doesn't surprise me that it will kick today, if NEBCo is estimating correctly.

    Maybe the cans stacked on the brewery floor are going out to bars?

    I recall (but could be wrong) them being pretty clear last week that all remaining Gandhi Bot cans would be sold at the brewery. Once they exhaust those "old" cans and officially rename the beer, they will start distributing it again.

    Yup, and FT #24. I've heard some good things about it, too. Nelson Sauvin APA from NEBCo? Count me in!

    #24 is quite nice. Coming away with a fill of that & 2 made up for missing GBOT cans by a few people.
