    This has to boost trade value, right? Is that how this works?

    Exactly how it works. Just make sure you post a 150-character review (not a character more), talking about how it's the best beer you've ever had but not actually describing the beer in any way. Max out ratings. Immediately head to trade forums. And that's how it's done.

    Looks like it's a beautiful day out there! It is cold and rainy here in TX - not exactly ideal for waiting in line.

    I'd take cold and rainy and a better chance at my bottles...

    Can someone please provide an update concerning availability at the Buellton location?

    91 cases at Buellton. The line at 11 am was around 150-175 people. People seem to be maxing out. The line is taking forever. I was 15th in line and it took 20 minutes to get my bottles. The people at the back of the line will likely be waiting for hours.

    Other bottles for sale:
    Agrestic 2014 and 2015
    SLOambic
    Kreiky Bones
    Bretta Weiss
    Lil Opal

    The people at the back will be going home empty. The last people to get bottles will be waiting hours. Line jumping has been rampant. And yeah, I've never been in a slower-moving line.

    Cases are 12 count, unlike most proprietor beers. So, if everyone buys their limit, that's still 273 people.

    Parabajava, just like parabola, come 6 per case. I'm at the Paso brewery and the guy is opening the cases and 6 bottles are in it. Plenty of bottles left here. Line has about 15 ppl in it.

    They also had 12 bottles of Feral Vinifera. Gone in seconds.

    Those Buellton reports don't sound very reassuring. I probably won't get there till 2:30 at this point. You guys think it would be a waste of time?

    Stop supporting the Dumbfuck distribution system.

    Dark Lord day is a BAD thing and it isn't welcome in California.

    Totally lame. Thanks for the heads up. I'll check with the GF to see if she doesn't mind driving up to Paso.
