Ram Brewery Side Note Releases

You need to be in line and early. However, I don't remember them doing it on a Friday before. So it could last a little into the afternoon.

 

I doubt it. Less people in line just means more people at the front of the line will get to go back through the line even more than before. Unless the stated limit is a hard limit and not a soft one

 

The only thing is, there are a lot of people who have friday off so it might not last.

 

Ok thanks. Helping someone move on Friday morning in Elgin so I'll have to check this thread once we're done and hopefully see an update or just call the brewery.

 

I may actually be able to make it out for this one! Hopefully I'll see a few familiar faces out there.

 

How long does the line take to get thru? have work at 11 in the area. would I make thru in time if I showed up at 10?

 

The last Juicy release I made it there at 11:05 and got an allotment at 11:25ish. With cash only, the line moves pretty fast.

 

The last Juicy release (warmer out & on a Saturday) lasted till 12:15/12:30. I walked up at a little after 12, no line, grabbed my 2x 4pks had 1 on draft, and took off. Was in and out in 30min (including my beer on draft).

Not to say that's going to be the case this time, but I'm thinking/ hoping it will be similar.

 

Cool thanks, I appreciate the info!

 

Details for tomorrow (from Instagram):

Fresh Morning Fog rolling off the canning line to be released tomorrow at 10am.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Please Read!!:
-each 4 pack will be $18 (includes tax) CASH ONLY
-Allotments will be at least 2 per person and may increase dependent on the line.
-The restaurant/bar will NOT be open until 11am
-Growlers will not be available until all cans have been sold.
-Due to issues in the past, we will NOT Be allowing bottle sharing in line.

See you all tomorrow!

 

I think no bottle sharing is a good idea. Everyone just made a mess and I can't imagine RAM management really enjoyed the excessive drunkenness happenig in their parking lot. It seemed like a massive liability waiting to happen

 

THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!

 

Thanks, MOM!

 

I find the comment about allotment increasing depending on the size of the line interesting. It confirms my belief that they are looking to move through this as fast as possible. I'm off but have the kids tomorrow, so I won't be going for it. I do wonder if draft will last til next Tuesday when I could make it up for lunch.

 

Agreed. I will be interested to see what the allotment will be or whether this will change during the course of the line.

I think it is Shaun's and RAM's best interest to have all this moved ASAP. They are not trying to sit on this beer any longer than possible and this is why double dipping was not an issue in the past. It's just not in their best interest to hold onto these releases. *this is just my personal opinion, not an expert.

 

You are right on-point, just look at the last Juicy release. There were dudes with 4 cases per person, people jumped in line many times over. You can't blame RAM, its a business, they want to sell as much as possible as quickly as they can.

 

Also worth pointing out - they are a restaurant which is far different than most of the businesses doing this kind of release. They aren't built to sit on cans for awhile.

 

How's the line looking?

 

Line is short. I'm here at 8:10 and it hasn't wrapped around first corner yet. Ends near the tank. I'm waitin in car for awhile...

 

Nice I am on my way there. I would have expected at least half way down the first side.
