    I agree taking up a space for a whole day and not going in for some beer or six pack wouldn't be ideal. That being said 7th Sun along with the other Heights breweries are on the Brew Bus Loop Fridays and Sundays so it kind of happens already on those days. 7th and AC are close friends and Ryan has a running joke that he is going to put a spinning sign person in front of 7th with an Angry Chair Parking sign. The AC bottle releases are early anyways and 7th or really any bar/restaurant in that area doesn't open until noon or later.

    I am not totally but don't think many of the bottles lasted all day upon release

    Someone else can correct me if I'm mistaken

    3 hours in line isn't bad. And you'll know if you can get a bottle because they do a count before release

    Don’t listen to people telling you that you won’t have a chance getting a bottle if you show up at 9. It will be 1pp and you’ll get a bottle, they will not have more people than actual bottles per day. Small portion of people who showed up in the middle of the night may be able to snag an extra.

    Totally agree with this...everyone that shows up is going to get One Bottle..now the people that show up earlier won't have to wait as long to get their bottle, but that's their only advantage.I could possibly see Monday and Tuesday being 2 PP as the majority of out of towners won't have arrived yet

    So hypothetically if I show up at 11:45am, I will get a bottle?

    In all likelihood, but you will also be standing at the back of the line which will be near Lakeland at that point

    Is bottle sharing allowed in line for releases? Coming in for Tampa beer week and will plan to bring beers with me if it is. Thanks.

    Bottle sharing happens, but I'm sure AC would tell you that it is not encouraged. People do a really shit job of cleaning up after themselves and AC is right in the middle of a residential area.

    Well, while those things are there, that doesn't mean that everybody uses them. I will say that these late selling times are gonna bring the lines early and that too is gonna encourage bottle sharing. It's going to happen. There's no denying it. Just do it at your own risk

    Thursday (baigccs) is the only day that might be relatively close to 1000 people at 11:59am. That being said you can basically guarantee each day will be 1 per person any way because if it’s even close to 500 people AC makes it 1 per person as they realize people will cycle back through and it will sell out either way, but it at least it will allow everyone to get 1.

    They said each bottle goes on draft each day they're released too, yeah? So if you're attending each release you don't have to worry about the Super Rad day as much right? If you're first in line for bottles, how soon after you get your bottle can you purchase a draft? Have to wait for tapping times?

    Yeah, they won't be tapping until normal hours. They'll also limit capacity so there could (will) be a line just to get in the door

    what's wrong with that? most places do this for many reasons. Including staffing; capacity; ease of impact of neighbors; and impact on scheduled brew schedule

    Not saying something's wrong with it, just wasn't expecting that. What do people that show up at...9AM, 10AM, 11AM do for the 5-8 hours of downtime that they're not waiting in line but also not getting draft pours? Since parking is discouraged it's not like leaving and coming back is an economical or simple thing. Just curious.

    It’s really only a couple hours of downtime from when you buy the bottles and finish the line until 4pm. The time spent in line is actually sitting in line.

    So if you are First in line it’s 12 -4. If your 500th in line it’s probably 1:30-4 that you have to kill. Maybe go get something to eat in the area, or take the 15 min drive to Ccb since it’s open and hang out there for a couple of hours.
