    If you are manually doing it, that would suck... a lot. It could be automated numerous ways though, but obviously someone would have to have the skillset to do that. I would think a form entry or even BPT/EventBrite could be an easier method than email, other breweries do it that way.

    Either way though, it would take time both ways. However, once you got your automated system setup, future releases would be much easier.

    It's a beer I'd like to drink. If my options are to either pay TG $50 or try to get one on the secondary market where it will be much higher, I have no problem paying TG $50 for it.

    Is Galaxy Sue available for sale today or on tap? Does anybody know? I might have to make the trip down.

    It usually makes it way over to the tap room same day, yes. I'd call before leaving or just wait for the official tweet/facebook post saying it made it.

    My guess is TGB News will tweet when it hits the taproom.

    That should suffice though @brewmastermike, @tgvectorizer and @beermurph are all helpful from time to time, especially with what will be coming out in the next month+.

    You have to follow their Snapchat and Periscope accounts too!

    And also their carrier pigeon subscription service.

    I wouldn't have thought Light Speed would be suitable for cellaring.

    Quick shout out to the 2 fellas from the Plymouth area and the guy from Quad Cities! I am terrible with names, so I apologize (I even specifically asked on the way out lol)... but you all are super chill/fun to drink with. Wish we had more time, but my brother and I had softball to get to. See y'all next time we cross paths...

    Our Galaxy stash is resting safely in the fridge :grinning:

    Parlor City in CR has some Lightspeed for $14 a bottle! So tempting!
