    Really great to grab two 4-packs at 6:30pm.

    No limit on oat overdose at 5:45? Lol. What a waste of time standing in line for four hours was. I'm not Lutting myself through that anymore. If cans are around in the afternoon I'll go. If not oh well. Rather leave my house at noon than 7 am

    I would love to see them do live updates about how much is left etc... Much like treehouse.

    Also they need to figure how to get people in and out faster. I was between the door and first corner for 1:20. That's crazy.

    If they had that much and put the low limit and bracelet system out creating Enough hype to get people out that early and they were constantly up and down the line monitoring it they should have upped the limits for people who stood there for hours. Whatever, I'm just cranky. At least the beer is pretty awesome

    Caveat empter. Anyone who decides to wait in line for beer really has no right to complain about anything. There are people in this city who line-up for life sustaining food, the hysteria over cans of beer is pretty ridiculous.

    And I don't mean you specifically, just people in general who complain about beer releases. Of course breweries can do things better, but the level of hysteria for beer releases in general is becoming absurd. At the end of the day it is only beer and there sure is no shortage of beer in this country.

    Good point. Like I said I'll go later in the day from now if they are available. If not I'll drink one of the 10000 other great beers out there

    Also I am thoroughly digging this batch of OH IPA and am looking forward to this being more readily available!

    Anyone know any of the people who got towed? Would love to hear the details about them finding their cars lol. That's the most fascinating part of yesterday's release in my eyes.

    So no word on any leftovers for sale today? Strange they did not update any of their accounts. Would stop by, but it's not worth the hour drive if unsure.

    Anyone there at close last night?

    Going to be in the area, if anyone knows if there is anything left over, please let me know. Otherwise will just grab a growler.

    They just posted they have 6 cases of oat, 60 cases of the ipa, and 40 cases of orbit leftover still. Feeling even more ridiculous for waiting 4+ hrs in line yesterday for the beer now.

    Hopefully this weekend's release stops the crazy lines.

    Oh, never mind.

    Seems especially crazy when my friends who showed up at 5 thirty yesterday were able to walk in and out with no line and they were told there were NO limits whatsoever on anything.
