    Shoutout to the Audi enthusiast and the guy who was drinking Skadoosh a couple people in front of me, for keeping me entertained. I turned off my headphones in case of an "we're out of beer, go home Sean, you loser" announcement, and you guys' conversation was all I had to listen to. :grin:

    Just showed up. Almost no line. In and out in 10 minutes. Still 40+ cases sitting on the floor, plus a bunch of Orin.

    Honestly, I didn't enjoy standing in line, but I'm glad it's like this (still available for walk-ins). I love Benthic, and if this means I'll actually be able to get it relatively easily next year, that'd be awesome.

    If there is around 10 cases left at 4 I may go after work. I am hoping they run out before then so I don't have to trek all the way up there for nothing.

    How come nobody has mentioned the 2 POS that Half Acre had set up? That was fantastic. Even though waiting in line isn’t much fun, it worked out well for me getting there early. Allowed me to get into the taproom after for lunch and a couple beers, and now make it home to work. The work part isn’t fun, but you have to keep getting paid to afford these beers.

    I mentioned it above. The line was slow, but appreciated that they're clearly learning. Also, I love how generous they are with samples when you get inside. If I didn't have to rush back to work I'd have drank myself silly.

    You're doing it wrong bruh. You buy the 6 beerz, sell 5 of them whalez, and then you can afford more beerz and whalez next time.

    Elton John had a song about it. Circle of Stouts.

    Had a sample in line and can confirm it is fantastic! Worth the frostbite

    Oops. Missed that while catching up with all the posts. Perhaps one reason it still moves slow is the sampling, other merchandise, etc.
