    Used Google chrome on my home computer. Hit refresh at noon and choose first option and it went back to the choices and then I selected second option and got unavailable thereafter. Definitely wont waste my time again on any More releases.

    No tickets for me and I'm still glad they went this route.

    Same here. Refreshed right at 12:00:04 and selected Sunday pickup. Hit the proceed button and was booted back out. Refreshed for 10 minutes and selected tickets probably 8 more times to have it boot me out to try again. Pretty frustrating.

    All my friends and I were shutout...oh well. Preferred this to waiting in line.

    That 5-10 minutes wasn’t worth a shot at it? It was really not much of a time investment IMO. I’ll admit that I’m bummed to miss out, but it sure seemed like a fair system that didn’t involve a large time commitment.

    i guess if they really wanted to spread the love, they could've done 1 bottle per person. that would've doubled the amount of people that could've gotten in.

    2 hours until they announce they don't have enough bottles and reserve the right to swap out for two regular hennas....

    It sold out about as quickly as I expected.

    I was one of the crazy people that got up early enough to get multiple bottle allotments for Double Rainbow and Cinnamon Babka releases, and I would still take this route over having to line up a 1000X over, even if I got shut out. There is no 'muling' or line-cutting with the on-line ticket sales and it's fair. It just comes down to luck primarily.

    Do you think more people would magically have gotten it if everyone had to line up instead?

    Sounds like A Yogi Berra quote.

    That place where everybody used to go... nobody goes there anyMore because it is too crowded.

    I got shut out but worries here. I don't have to ponder about spending 5 hours in line. The FOMO is intense!

    I was just a little P.O.'d because I drove home for lunch to use my home computer instead of my phone. And you are right it is definitely better to waste a few minutes instead of a few hours . Just seems like a waste of time to me going forward until they ramp up production which apparently is in the works.

    It's a really excellent dear so kudos to everyone who did get a ticket.

    I was fortunate enough to have gotten a ticket. I can confidently say that even if I had not I would still prefer this option to waiting in line.

    Of course they want the line back! That way all those profit/bottle flipping assholes can bring their whole 10 member mule family at 1AM the night before and then sell all those bottles on the secondary.

    Fuck those people. Seriously.

    I didn't believe that someone actually wrote that. Verified...he thinks he "deserves" this beer.
