    50-60 best guess, if coming at 4pm I'm going to guess your shut out. If we use the logic of 200 people based on there can counts need to be in line by 3pm

    People lined up 3 hours before open, absurd. Glad I was able to roll in to Other Half today and grab everything I wanted in 15 minutes.

    Should have come here. Draft pours in line are making this pretty amazing.

    This. Honestly one of the best line experiences I've ever had. Cool people, able to try all of the variants on draft, and a decent burger to boot.

    Without a DD, I wouldn't be able to partake.

    Hopefully the increased police presence from Cow Harbor Day can help control for that. Hopefully.

    Police just told people they can't drink on the sidewalk, said to pour the beers out now or get a summons.

    man america is lame.

    edit: prob more a local regulation than federal but youre pretty much allowed to drink wherever in the public in most countries. if youre just casually enjoying a couple beers in line then that should be fine.

    Unfortunately, the 3 casks kicked before I was to try them. I was on line around 3pm and was able to get the full allotment, especially with the limits being reduced to 2 4pks per style per person.

    The infinity minus one + 2 is tasting great.

    Everyone in line got beer. People who got back in line walked away with a case if infinity at the end. They dropped the limits 10 people in front of us.

    heard it was a great day. thankful to have friends who looked out and snagged me some cans. hung there last night w a buddy from out of town and they put power of one up towards the end of the evening...amazing drinking.

    as for the race, the guys from the brewery were running in it. sure they made the release coincide with a big party in town, bit from what I heard it was a great experience. sad I missed it, but my kids soccer comes before me waiting in line for beer. happy for them that they sold out...sad cause I would've loved a full a lot tent but happy to try them.

    I'm most excited.for the 3 variations of soup in the tanks...and upcoming anniversary (was also pretty cool to get dregs of a bottle I shared tossed into one of the barrels for an upcoming beer.

    Good on SC for dropping limits to make sure more people got beer.

    Great everyone in line got beer, that is the way it should be. A pox on the selfish double-dippers, those kind of people ruin it for everyone else.

    In order to hook up some NYC friends, I waited on line. Limits were dropped about 15 people before me, and I got there two hours before opening.

    After I got my case, I immediately doubled back to the taproom for cask pours. Had all three. The infinity plus blackberry was my fave but not by much over the other two.

    Long story short, I hate to wait on line for beer, and almost never do it, but "one" day was a worthy exception.

    I wish every weekend release was that painless.

    Yeah, that one was a breeze. Still plenty of cans and no line at the moment, as per their Instagram. Soup Galaxy is tasting great right now.
