    If there are more than 500 people in line, then yes it'll be sold out. I'm not there so no idea how insane the line is at the moment.

    Good luck everyone!

    I'm very much in the "any way you handle a hyped release is going to piss people off" camp...but I think a ticket system would be a good, non-controversial addition to the next round-the-block release.

    That's not my favorite thing to hear. Got off the F just after 9, saw the tweet from OH saying probably wouldn't get any, and left. Per this thread there were under 400 people in line then so I guess I would have gotten some. Oh well. Are any kegs going out to bars?

    250 cases? That would be great.

    There are talks about some kind of ticket system and customer-loyalty perks. But nothing definite yet.

    Might be, but I'm not sure. I think they wanted to fill as many cans as possible

    @Kanger are they talking about lowering limits? Asking because I'm 125 or so in line, thanks!

    Not that I know off. They lowered it to 3 4packs yesterday. I think it'll stay that way.

    Granted I'm not there today, so no idea if they do.

    Not surprising. Imagine being woken up on a Saturday morning by hundreds of loud beer nerds, some of whom are are drinking on the streets.

    Hey cops need hops too bro, just make sure they don't cut the line.

    Hope these nerds know they're going to ruin it for everyone else.

    Few asshats near the grain dumpsters left their empties on the floor. The vibes today were just awful.

    At 11 am the limit drops down to 2 4-packs.

    "At 11am, we are dropping the limit on Green Diamonds and Street Green to 2/4packs of each due to the turnout."
