    Hah. I'll let you know. We got hungry so we're at the Lucky Penny in Santa Barbara. Gonna have lunch and will decide by the end of the meal. If we do I'll hit you up.

    What time did you get there? I'm waiting to hear back from a trade partner that went.

    After getting my bottles, I had lunch there and a glass of Parabajava. Great stuff. Glad I got in line for this rather than BCS. But, I really want some BCS Barelywine and Coffee stout.

    Damn I am exhausted. Drove 450 miles today for Parabajava.

    Oh ya, and there was a guy behind me that only grabbed one bottle. Lol, the second some guys caught wind of this, they pounced on him asking if they can have his other 3 lol

    Got my bottles. The visitors center served Parabajava on tap and it was excellent. Perfectly blended: Parabola barrel aged and Intelligentsia coffee. Smooth with a distict coffee flavor. I'm trading none of it.

    Went to Firestone in Paso at around 4pm today. The gift shop was sold out of bottles but the restaurant was selling 1 per person. Got my two (+wife) and had a pint and headed out. No wait.

    Got in at 10.50. They had one slow moving cashier ended up on a 3hr wait. Followed by 1flat tire. Was able to max out but on hell of an event. Every other release is pretty ticketed don't know what happened to this one. Oh yah beer is amazing

    I don't know how they thought a single cashier at barrelworks was a good idea with this release. Like they were stoking the fires of clusterfuck. Also, sending 91 out of 500 (per label) cases to BW was probably not the best either. To echo the comment above, the beer is amazing.

    More power to him. Being judgemental is my best trait, and I respect everyone else for embracing projecting their own opinions on everyone else.

    There are 12 bottles per case (not 6). I was there, so I have no idea what you were looking at.

    Can confirm this; but maybe @bulletrain76 could settle the bottle count question once and for all?

    So, 1092 beers at Buellton...yeah, disagree with this. More like 6 per case and 91 cases. Regardless, fantastic beer and don't know that I will be trading mine.
