    So what was up 3 years ago? Small allocation for LP?

    Sounds very interesting. I had some Bierschnapps at Liquid Riot in Portland, ME this summer and it was actually pretty solid.

    I think allocation was similar to 2013 but hype mode was in full effect that year. More people showed up.

    Then 2015 I think the allocation greatly increased in combination with people deciding to try other Binnys, which all seemed to receive lower allocations.

    I didn’t go to LP, but the difference between 2013 and 2014 was at least a magnitude greater.

    Truck chasers and new Money out in full force. Also, the delivery was really screwed up around the city. I know a lot of places didn’t get their delivery until the next week.

    Thanks. With such gigantic allocations everywhere this year, I can't see anyone arriving before 9 at LP this year getting shut out. It's good to know that there is still a precedent for it.

    This seems backwards. Larger allotments but fewer total allotments.

    Maybe... maybe I’ll continue my streak of never doing this. I live by goose on clybourn. I work near goose on Fulton. So... do I really need more bottles for my overflowing cellar?

    ...


    ...I mean, probably still yes?

    I see you have found yourself in quite the quandry; fortunately I am a generous dark lord. I will allow you to break your black friday binny LP virginity while keeping your cellar from overflowing by giving you permission to mule for me.

    Hi All,

    Black Friday question for you guys. We have a group of 4 going together, and we plan to get to LP Binny's around 1am. We have never been to LP Binny's, but are wondering if there's ample space for a 4-person tent? Is it all just sidewalk that would be too small for a tent of that size?

    Cheers!

    Don't be a *****, just sit there in the elements, enjoy each others company and wait it out.

    Mules are notoriously adverse to the elements & the company of misc. black friday neckbeards :wink:

    At 1am, you'll likely be around the back in the parking lot or further back at the sidewalk. The sidewalk has the fenced wall on one side and a street on the other.

    The lot could give you plenty of space, while the latter gives you all of 6 ft.

    Bottom line, it's a total crapshoot because no one knows how bad the line is going to be and how much space others will use. Google maps may be your only friend.
