Sand City Brewing (2018)

I'm more excited to see the inevitable shitshow tomorrow than I am about the actual beer.

I thought the 2nd Anniversary release was out of hand. I can only imagine how bad this one will be.

 

This is my strategy too, ignore the FOMO, get there at a time I am comfortable with, if I get the beer, great, if not, so be it.

 

Line is fast approaching halfway down Woodbine at the moment.

 

Line is super spread out due to canopies. To the first corner is roughly 50

 

Thanks for update. That's crazy, but not unexpected. Keep the updates coming.

 

Line’s approaching Shipwreck Diner at the moment. Fairly spread out still. Security guards walking up and down the line.

 

About 100 maybe a little more

 

Cops just rolled up. Canopies are being taken down

 

I think this is hysterical. Neck beards and fat stomachs are bout to get wet.

 

For the next release the cops will probably just spray the line down with a fire hose under the guise of cleaning the sidewalk

 

Sold out. Glad I didn't go, but sad the taproom is closed so I can't try it.

 

Weather aside it really wasn’t that bad today. Got there at 8 and was around the second corner by the diner to start. When they forced the canopies closed the line collapsed significantly and I ended up just around the first corner. They opened and hour early and Line was a little slow so was out by 1030

 

Go to the villager

 

Hmm good idea. I assumed they would be out by now. Although I have a feeling it'll be slammed tonight with people home for the holidays. Hopefully their kegs last until after Christmas.

 

Got there around 9:15, line just beyond corner onto Main, got out about 10:45 or so. Not bad, although I did get shut out of the Aslin collab, ran out about 10 people in front of me. Drinking Infinity + Everything now, very good, exactly what I would have expected from these two breweries.

 

I am a huge supporter of Sand City from day one, but it isn't about change. It's about open beverage violations and blocking access to other businesses. I witnessed both while on line today.

I hope a resolution can be had because it is a great brewery run by great people and Northport is a great place to live.

 

It was a floating walkway that now needs to have properly poured footings. Add to that typical government delay with permits and inspections and approvals.
