    Well I was absolutely wrong about it. Sorry to anyone who listened to me. Never expected that.

    It's a shit show. Line going slow, people cutting in coming off the street and Michael Kane walking outside looking like this wasn't expected...

    Can't really blame Kane. It's an imperial milk Porter with coffee. People are crazy. Don't get me wrong, morning bell is one of my favorites but waiting an hour?

    I don't think I blamed them. Although, this model clearly doesn't work anymore.

    Sorry blame wasn't the right word and not what I was implying. I don't really know what they should do besides have a lottery for every bottle release which is just ridiculous.

    I'm just not even going to bother venturing to the brewery for bottles and enjoy the stuff on draft. Makes life much easier.

    The only way they're going to avoid crazy lines is to announce right when they post what's on tap for the day. Otherwise the lines will form early and deep.

    Ah, the nostalgic romance of buying your beer right at the brewery! Just like it was a century ago!

    Wait, no it's better today! I bet they had to walk a long distance just to get to a dumpster above!

    Thx for the updates - made the decision easy. Love Morning Bell, but not as much as some it seems.

    Hopefully NJ gets more Carton and Kane-esque breweries at some point in terms of truly good product, because the population density combined with hype and comparative brewery sparsity is really making stuff like this insane.

    Props to Kane for the great turnout though. Hopefully I'll grab it on tap somewhere.

    The people that lined up an hour + early might not have used their time very wisely.

    Yea, they had a ton. I got there at 11:30 only because I had to get back home ASAP. If you have no schedule limitations, show up whenever today and you should be fine.

    Was kinda hoping to stop by early tomorrow. Sounds like there might be some left.

    Here is the thing, when they sell out fast on prior releases, don't release bottle counts, they will draw people to wait. Of course I was already heading up there vengeful heart, and got luck, adjusted my trip by an hour, so I could be in and out and back on schedule by 2pm.

    If they can have releases that last through the weekend, they will have less of a pre open line.

    Only waited about 15 mins later in the day and managed to get bottles no problem.
