    No the growlers are not counter pressure filled (unless something has drastically changed in the past month or so).

    However, in my personal experience, they will last at least 4-5 days in the fridge. If I was trading one I'd recommend my trading partner drink it ASAP though.

    Cheers!

    This won't be as crazy. I wouldn't be surprised if it lasts through the weekend. Plus it'll go into distribution in the city.

    Thanks for the info, if I get a hold of one on Wednesday I plan to bring it to a tasting the following Saturday.

    If possible, bring a cooler with you so it stays cold from brewery to your house and if you have a swing top growler to fill even better.

    However, even without these two helpful additions, you should have no problem with that growler if you get it on Wednesday and open it 3 days later.

    Cheers!

    Not to hype this beer against my better judgment, but I prefer Shewolf to GDDC by a wide margin.

    That sir is blasphemy! :wink:

    I've actually not had Shewolf before, but GDDC just dominates any other offering I've had from Half Acre thus far. Guess I'm even more excited to go to the release now.

    Per Half Acre's website:


    Doing the math... that's 3,240 bottles. Assuming everyone picks up the maximum of 4, looks like enough for ~800 people.

    This was the line at 12:30 today (Wednesday). Upon leaving about an hour later, the line was approximately the same length (the line moved very slowly).

    I can see me too!

    I'm the guy in the blue button up with the two growlers in my hand. I am right next to the guy in the green shirt.. My buddy (who I had no idea was in line until we got to the front) is in the yellow shirt with his roommate and her friend (two girls, one of them brought her two kids). We might as well have BeerAdvocate decals to identify ourselves a bit better. Heh. Kidding but I bet next time I go to a release, I'll just ask the people around me if they post on BA.

    I just left there 15 minutes ago. Line was about three or four People. Got my 3 bottles and a taster and left in less than 10 minutes. Plenty left at that time too. Stacks of cases and the whole. Poker wa still practically full.

    I assume growler fills are completely out, right?

    They were still filling growlers as far as I could tell. Nothing was out of stock.
