Snozzberry Day - May 1st

I'm new to the area and have not been to any releases at Green Man (or NC yet). I had 2 questions.
1) They don't allow bottle shares in line do they?
2) Do they allow dogs at the brewery?

Sorry for the newb questions and thanks for the help!

 

They replied on the event page on FB there would be about 600 total bottles, so 300 allocations assuming everyone gets their 2.

 

1) No (I think if you are sly it might be acceptable, but you won't find a bunch of people pulling bottles out)
2) Yes

 

I was pretty ticked off as well last year.

They posted on social media that they had a ton of bottles left and no line. I hustled down there (within 5 minutes) and everything was gone. As you had mentioned, people started going back for seconds, which I assume is the reason I got shut out.

 

I wasn't there last year, but there's a big difference between going through the line a 2nd time after everyone has gone through and cutting the line. Did they specifically state that no one was supposed to go through the line twice? If so then they've got to use some sort of system to monitor that. Otherwise you know some people are going to do it.

 

No they did not frown upon going through the line a 2nd time. I did this myself. I got there 2 hours or so early and got the stupid ticket which meant nothing. At bottle sale time i got into my spot which was about 50th i believe and got my 2 bottles. I got back in line at the very end of it and got another bottle.

I look at it this way. If you are not there by the onsale time or you didn't get your wife, brother, cousin, or whoever to get you bottles then it is not the person's fault that is going through the line twice especially when it is allowed. As far as line cutting that is pretty shitty but i did not notice that personally.

Also there was 3 full green city trash cans full of empty bottles at the Maceo release. Bottle shares do happen.

 

Last year people were grabbing multiple numbers and getting back in line. I know of a few aholes that did this multiple times. I talked to a rep for green man today. This year will be handled different. Bottles shares will be frowned on being Sunday. They are concerned because it's on their property and they can't serve until noon. Not sure if they will shut it down or not. He also told me there is about 80 cases of snozz.

 

So a rep told you 960 bottles?? I've got emails and responses in Facebook saying roughly 600 bottle for the release. Guess there holding some back for events etc.

 

That's what I'm guessing. I figure staff, family & friends as well. I figure he knows what he's talking about. He's the brewery rep for Charlotte but lives in Asheville. Maybe they will bring some to WW funk event.

 

The 2 bottle limit is making it tempting to make the trip to avl. This, presumably golden angel soon, bourbon skillet, Peabody's cellar sale, state of origin... My wallet and car are going to suffer over the next 2 months.

 

Last year they had a keg of it at the funk event.

 

Yep if your trying to save your time and effort please don't come to the sale for an inflated bottle of KBS...I didn't have enough room to save any...year old KBS will not be at the sale this year....that should cut the line significantly...whooo that saved me some stress!

 

Cellar sale isn't even the main reason I'm coming!
Thanks for getting that bottle out to me so quickly BTW

 

No problem brother! Glad to help!

 

@MrPeabodysBeard AKA Chris is the man. This dude has hooked me up several times in the past and bummed that somebody is calling out their epic cellar sale! If you haven't been, I highly recommend it.

 

No offense is taken brother I assure ya'! We don't win 'em all over...come hang some time my friend!

 

so..... back on topic.
