    Did this just happen? It literally sold out in 2 seconds, I refreshed the page once and it was gone....

    I think it was more like two seconds. Pretty absurd.

    Wow. Never seen it go that fast. Literally got to choose it, went to "add to cart", then it tells me I'm trying to purchase more than is allowed and then shows it sold out.

    What a fucking crock.

    Did they announce that they were including bottles of KBBS and Assassin or something? That was ridiculous.

    I got through; no glitches. But luck for these things should be on my side with all the missed ticket ops I've had. lol

    Got in the door from work at 956, logged on to brown paper tickets and clicked the link 10 on the dot and moved fast.

    I can't say I'm surprised.

    1. This is a beer release in Chicago, of course it's going to be a boondoggle
    2. Only a bit of a premium to not have to stand your ass in line all day Sunday
    3. So many variants!!!!
    Only head scratcher is that it's for $200 worth of Big Hugs, a decidedly good but not great beer.
