    Way too cold to wait in line today.

    Planning on swinging by around 6 if they still have some 4th left.

    Seemed like enough 4th to last through the afternoon. By my (bleary-eyed, bottle-shared) estimates, you had to be there before 630am to score 2nd/3rd cans.

    Literally just heard someone on the phone say “they’re out of the good stuff, I can only get 4th anniversary cans.” The FOMO has reached critical levels.

    Just got here, in and out with no line.

    Edit: tap room crowd has subsided.

    They still had like a double batch of fourth left when I left. I think this is going to last the week. The case gobblers have all left and they still have, I would estimate, around 300 cases left.

    I missed out on third but it's all good. I was dumb to get there at 9 because it took 2 hours to get cans but I was already up and in the area. Felt like a sucker though.

    Chin up and own it man. Everyone makes mistakes. It’s what you do with the lesson learned that counts

    They know that 2nd and 3rd will never taste as good as the OG batches right? That has been objectively proven on BA time and again.

    Yeah looked that way to me too. But maybe more palates in the back? Based on their insta I thought they must have more

    They said that was all they had left when I asked, then I noticed they wheeled out a new palette after that so nm

    I got there at 6am this morning and I think I was one of the last people to get guaranteed full allotments, was a total shitshow though. I met some cool people who made it bearable but I doubt I will line up again until spring.

    I just opened my first can of 4th and it is delicious. If you told me this beer was 8% I’d believe you. Super smooth for the high abv and excellent mouth feel and lacing on my glass. Glad I stocked up as this one should hold up really well over the course of the month.
