    Bottles will be held for up to 90 days, so three releases. If you buy your first bottles online in January, you'll need to pick them up by April's release.

    Well, tickets lasted about one or two minutes for the December release. Dang.

    See y'all there. We'll likely be in and out thanks to the threat of ski traffic and the SEC championship.

    Woohoo, good times to be had! How bad is the "ski" traffic?

    Has anyone been at one of the ticketed releases at the tail end of the day? I know our allotment is secure but wondering if we show up at 3ish if they'll be out of anything for tasting. In October, we lined up prior to opening which was totally unnecessary. Left by 1

    Stayed to the end of the first ticketed event. There were still plenty of bottles left, although they certainly ran out of some things. I think they staggered some of the old Saison/East Bank bottles to come out later in the day, though.

    Last month all of the options at the bar were available for hours. I'm not sure if anything ran out, but most didn't.

    I'll echo what others have said. The first ticketed release I arrived at like 2:45 and they were out of two options at the bar. Last month was better...we arrived later in the afternoon (2 pm maybe) and they still had everything available to try.

    Ski traffic shouldn't be too bad yet, but I-70 never ceases to amaze me. If it gets bad, it will be bad going west between Floyd Hill and Eisenhower Tunnel going west between 7 am and 10 am, and going east between Dillon/Silverthorne and Idaho Springs starting around 2:30 pm.

    Sounds like we might be getting some snow Saturday.

    It can be horrendous. My advice would be to get up a little early, be through the Eisenhower tunnel before 8AM. And then, on the way back, be back through the Eisenhower tunnel before 1:30PM. You should miss most of the heavy ski traffic by doing this. 3-8 PM can be really bad. But it depends on your tolerance for traffic, I have very little.

    That drive is probably going to suuuuuck, but at least the beers being released are top shelf all the way around.

    I'm heading up Friday night and have a lot of Radio Lab just in case I hit bad traffic either way!

    We have really really bad traffic in Austin, but that doesn't mean I enjoy it. Thanks for the advice.
