    Yeah if you cut or bought it from someone else this was true.... They were done handing out tickets well before 10:45

    Got there a bit after 6, was ~300 in line. Good crowd, nice shares, didn't drink much. Portajohns seemed gross with long lines so I walked to the McD at 10 to take care of business and grab grub for me, my buds and a few of my new buds. Bought my bottle, looped around for a second one and got out of the around 1215. I'm too old for this shit but it's still fun now and then.

    Only real complaint was that the line for the glasses was the tap room line. I passed on that, then read that an employee (maybe someone who was freed up after bottles sold out?) was selling glasses to people in the tap room line -- wish that they had done that all along, but it may well have been a resource issue.

    For sure! It was super quick and nice not to see people shut out at the back of the line

    Just had it on tap - pretty good, but wouldn't camp out for it.

    I preferred it over Batch 1 though I would also admit that cinnamon forward is more appealing to me than strawberry forward in a stout

    I liked Batch 1 more but this one is still pretty good. Got there at 6:45, got 2 bottles (I got back in line after my first bottle) and a glass and had it on draft. No complaints here. Well run bottle release and the staff is really friendly.

    How much is left on draft? Going to last to end of the day? (someone please ask).

    Any glasses left for sale?

    Glasses were going strong. They stopped doing cash only on them and I even saw them sell 2 to somebody from behind the bar

    The style of glass they chose is easily one of my least favorite styles.

    Stopped in just in time to taste some babka before it blew.
    Kind of liked it. Great feel and not too much cinnamon for me. Glad I had it and even More glad I didn't wait in line.
