Hardywood releases

Hearing from a Hardywood rep that the pricing will be in line with the other BA releases such as GBS, not going to be the Foolery or Trickery pricing, so $13.60 a bottle...

 

I wouldn't be surprised if people were there even earlier than that.

 

about 100 people in line

 

For a 6pp limit with one of the beers hitting distro? Damn, I am starting to think people need something better to do with their time.

 

HA. Yeah. Saw someone post last night on a local board that they were spending the night in their vehicle just to be first in line. it was a legit post too. These people are damn lemmings when it comes to HW releases. No matter how many the brewery has and how often (95% of the time) a beer does not sell out on release day and people will show up at the crack of dawn in freezing temps just to grab bottles while the person who enjoys the day in RVA at other breweries and releases only to show up at 5/6pm will still come away with bottles in about a 10 minute wait. Who is winning that one?

 

Any updates on the line today? What is the wait?

 

Maybe 600+ people...

 

Confirmed the cost is $14.73 ($13.99 + tax)

 

For people there, are you planning on buying the max allotment?

 

Yes. Why wouldnt you buy the full allotment?

 

176 dollars...trade value is going to be low with the high allotments and seeing some distro, and you really need 6 of each of these on top of christmas morning, BGBS, rum GBS, and GBS...

 

AB is not seeing distro. Only the Kentucky

 

How is the line looking?

 

Beards. It's cold. And people could stand to go on a diet.

Also about 2 hours long.

 

Out of KCM apparently. Major f up by Hardywood increasing the limits.

 

Kentucky Christmas Morning bottles sold out

 

In line now Out of ky Xmas morning, brutal.

 

they should have lowered the limits based on the attendance.

 

I'm surprised KCM sold out before ABGBS, I thought it would be the other way around. Not surprised this happened though, I saw it coming with the limit increase on barrel aged beers.

 

The bottle limit went from 2 to 6, should've known there was a chance they'd sell out. I got there early to secure my bottles. Everyone saying people are idiots for getting there early are going to be the same complaining that HW screwed up for upping bottle limit.
