    reading the fb comments is so sad. ppl are such jerks about things like this. I keep seeing entitlement and then don't take away my 8 pack. uhm, we've all been on lines where they lower it mid line. only a select greedy few complain and the wealth is spread, which is a better representation of the community. my friend lives 20 ish away. still planning on going and if it's insane I'll just bounce. but small limits announced before so it'll last at least most of the day or a lottery, even if just for remaining would be cool. I'd like to try one of the varients. if anyone's cracking one at ebf, hit me up. I'll be there fri and sat night. my bday is on sat. and I'll be bringing stuff too.

    Keep banging that drum. By leaving the door open for day of sales, Kane may have exacerbated the line problem, because now people know they are fighting over less product due to the amount pre-sold. Odd that they would pre-sell but not go all the way and just pre-sell every last bottle.

    Got mine. No line for me, but I know lots of people that are making plans to be out there in the wee hours precisely because they got shut out.

    I guess another option is having a members club at a certain price which would guarantee you first dibs at any bottle release. I'm not upset at being shut out, but merely brainstorming ideas. I have more beer than I can drink in the fridge right now and my wife is probably going to be happy more isn't coming...

    Bets on whether or not we get to read a story this weekend of how the first person in line for walk up sales also preordered 8 bottles and got beat down by an angry mob of shutouts?

    The only useful information I've learned from the past 4 pages of comments is that people who use the word "butthurt" generally have very little to contribute.

    While I'm happy they brewed whatever they wanted to, I wonder if in the future we'll see fewer variants. More base stout, smaller allotments and more drinkers!

    That's the only part of it that bothers me. I stop at Kane twice a month at least for fills and I've picked up almost everything they have bottled since they started. I know why they did the bpt but like you said a lot of people will be there Sunday and not be back for another year. Such is life. I'll still make my trips there.

    I'm sure some people will try to double dip(or is it triple dip if you got an eight pack?) but I'm hoping to show up, grab my bottles and get out of there somewhat quickly. Maybe grab some glassware. No need to be greedy.

    I feel like 90% of the people claiming they're never giving Kane their business after this will be at the brewery next weekend or for their next bottle release. Some people have nothing better to do than complain.

    What part of the brewery does my support keep on? There are tons of us who get growler fills at our liquor store, order Kane whenever we see it at our bars, but according to you "local" guys our patronage is less valid due to the proximity of where we live? That's some fine advocacy you got going on there!

    Very true! I'm normally only at the brewery in the summer but a bar down the street from my work quite frequently has Kane on tap and I get my growler fills from a bunch of places.

    That is the truth. I definitely hoped to score some of the release and I'll probably get a bottle eventually but I'd rather have an awesome brewery in my area to enjoy on a regular basis and miss out on something occasionally then to have a place that makes crappy beer full time. :grinning:

    Exactly. I got shut out, but at least I got a pour of the 2014 at the anniversary.

    For those asking for a lottery, this kind of felt like as lottery, no? I was clicking refresh at 11:59:59 along with the rest of the 1000+ people hoping for tix, 500 got tix, 500+ got shut out. Even though I missed, I still spent only about 15 minutes from the comfort of my office, so I still think it was the best way to do it. I'm disappointed, but happy Kane did it this way. I'll be heading out to the brewery real soon, but I do not plan on camping out this weekend for walk up sales. But good luck to those who do, Cheers!

    Now if only all the special little snowflakes on Facebook could share this sentiment.
    I think for everyone hoping to just get in at 10am and get out with their bottles on Sunday would be wise to maybe show up a bit later. I have a feeling it's going to be a shitshow.

    Im with you, just grabbing my bottles and leaving. Unless the line for growler fills isnt too bad, then I will fill a couple of my Kane growlers with some beer for football.

    I didn't say that others don't support them but a lot of people who will be there probably don't. I'm happy you back Kane and I'm happy they have grown as a brewery. I've been to releases before where lines have been crazy (street green). I make trips to other half on a regular basis because they make awesome beer. You just hope that those people keep supporting after that day. I wasn't taking shots at people that don't physically show up at the brewery regularly, just the ones that get one thing just to turn around and probably trade anyway.

    I was trying to beat this drum earlier that doing tix is just basically a lottery of browser requests. Whoever gets lucky enough to sneak inside that millisecond window is the winner. I think there is a large # of folks that didn't understand that going in & thus are upset. A real lottery would at least set expectations more appropriately but I don't think anyone can blame Kane at this point.
