The Half-Acre thread (2018)

I don't know. I guess I don't get it. You can pick up any HA beer a few hours later with absolutely no line. Just be patient and you won't have to wait.

 

But if everyone did this then the line would just form later in the day!

 

And all Half Acre beers hit distro. I, for the life of me, can't understand why people wait in line for over an hour for a half acre hoppy beer that will extremely easy to
Come by.

 

Had 2016 BHA at the Dove's dinner and it's delish! So was the food!

 

In general I agree with your statement. With that being said, things like GDDC, BHA and even regular DDC sell out very quickly at the places I frequent, so lining up for them is the best bet.

Also, I don't anticipate having to line up for BHA, but it's the one beer of theirs for which I WOULD.

 

A lot of the retail shops have limits. My fiance and I get a full allotment each so we can send them out to friends and trade partners. Driving around the city to come up with 8 bottles will take a lot longer than waiting in line for 90 minutes.

Not to mention that I then get to drink it fresh on tap at the brewery and potentially get to meet some cool people in line.

 

Go a bit later to avoid big lines, save $1+ per bottle (compared to distro pricing), leave happy.

 

Anybody in line yet?

 

Line was 25 people deep at open and there is no line outside at the current time and only a few people mingling in the store at 11:35 a.m.

 

I cannot get out of work soon enough...

 

Went through the line in about 15 minutes at 11:15 am, maybe 20 people in front of me. HA guy at the register said he didn't expect any bottles to be around tomorrow.

 

I agree, no way it lasts till tomorrow, but short line made it worth the trip.

 

Beautiful day in the neighborhood. They said they are expecting it to start getting busier around 4:00

 

This one of those "leave work a little early" releases instead of last months "should probably call off" release

 

drove by on my way home and no line whatsoever so I picked some up.

 

Got there at 245. No line outside and even some tap room seating available

 

Still no line, and it is drinking great.

 

Anyone know if they're selling the graphic novel this year?

 

Yes, I believe they had a couple versions for sale by the glasses & Hot Sauce...

 

Likely to still be on tap on Sunday?
