    Was there a few hours ago... Still had African Moon (wayyyyyyyy over the top vanilla), didn't care for it at all.

    The Dire Wolf Yub Nub was insane... Supposedly only a single keg of it.

    Bottle wise, they only had the Coconut Howling Moon left. Sampled it on draft, it was pretty good.

    I really enjoyed African Moon, I thought it was like an orange creamsicle in and of itself. But I can see how vanilla in a DIPA might not be for everyone. Yub Nub is indeed fantastic, I wouldn't be surprised it that beer was resurrected sometime in the future.

    There are 12 cases of Coconut Howling Moon going out this week. Saved a couple to sell at the brewery as well.

    @Spider889 doing anything special for IPA day? I heard a rumor there may be some special treatments of your catalog.

    I was already there when you post this. That Hulk Smash is fantastic. I'm a sucker for coconut.

    I was really pumped when I saw this until I realized I'll be in Norman for the OSU / Oklahoma game. If I were going to be in Columbus I would have definitely hung out in the tap room all day and watched the game there!

    any updates? I'm pretty pumped for this. Down to my last bottle of Mexicanus so my cellar is ready.

    We're still ironing out details but there should hopefully be an announcement this week and maybe another next week.

    Just FYI, 50 presale tickets will be made available. Hopefully me and my buddy can be one of those lucky few. Going on sale next friday, get pumped.

    Do you think posting this here has helped your odds of being one of the "lucky few"?

    For anyone interested, please see below. Also, @Spider889, are we going to be able to purchase two tickets? Just trying to make some plans with a buddy.

    In case you haven't heard yet, WRB fans, get excited! For the first time, we're offering exclusive early entry to our barrel-aged bottle release & 3-year anniversary party. This Friday the 26th at Noon, we're opening up 50 tickets ($40 each) which include early tap room access, a 5-beer flight, One Line Coffee, a breakfast sandwich from our kitchen & the opportunity to be one of the first 50 people to claim your bottles with minimal wait. Are you in?

    It'll be karma when the ticket sales server crashes.

    Tickets go on sale at noon, I think it will allow at least 2 tickets per person but I'll double check tomorrow. No ticket required to purchase bottles - some were concerned elsewhere.

    We're still working out other details about the event but I think everyone ought to be happy with the final set up. We'll be able to host a larger group than normal which should prevent some of the standing around we had at the last BA release due to capacity constraints.

    I'm intrigued by the tickets because I am usually always within the first 10-20 people in for every bottle release. Predominantly because I like to stake my claim for my group on a table and make sure that our seating arrangements are handled for the day. However, I'm curious how much that might tighten up the need to be there super early if I'm not an adopter of the ticket system. If you aren't within those 50, would there be legitimate seating concerns? I expect (like the previous BA release) there to be a much higher turnout for this release and understand that seating for everyone isn't a reality. But I would feel comfortable knowing ahead of time that if I still manage to be one of the first in after those that purchase tickets that seating would be an option.

    I'm not opposed to buying the ticket, but I have to factor that it would be two of them for my wife and I that includes some perks that don't really apply to me. I don't drink coffee and the sandwich could be covered another way by me just eating at home or grabbing up a cheaper option elsewhere. The real benefit is the time saving aspect and the flight, which I would easily be purchasing anyways. If I know that there's not a big of a need to sweat spending the extra money on the ticket for the sake of saving time in line and still get a place to sit, I would likely lean towards that.

    It'll be up to you on what to prioritize here. There will be room outside to spread out, including some tables, fwiw. Ultimately there will be incentive to float inside and out but until things are 100% locked in I can't really say much beyond that atm.
