The Angry Chair Thread

My friends got there at 6:15 and estimated being about 400 back; similar GPS drop to the above picture

 

Buddy got there at 5:00am yesterday and was about 150ish. Today he arrrived at 3:00am and is 150ish.

 

I imagine the line cutters are in full force, and probably worse tomorrow.

 

How is it right now?

 

I

There are 25,000-30,000 people in line.

 

winner.

 

I have never been to an AC release but from what I am reading am I correct in assuming they do nothing to prevent line cutters? No wristbands at a random time or anything like that? Just wondering so I can factor that into what time I go to line up for Thursday's release. Because if I go from 300th in line to 500th between 8 & 9 I will probably go even earlier.

 

I'm starting to think most breweries don't give a shit about line cutters as long as they get their money. Personally, I call people out when I see it

 

Line cutting didn’t seem too bad. The issue is the mules, there were tons. Some paid better then others.

 

Anyone able to get through the line twice today?

 

The 11:30pm - 3am crowd seemed to be able to get through twice. I was around 700 in line (showed up at 7) and they all came rushing by shortly after sales started. The line was probably 800ish before people started circling back.

 

Thanks for the info. My question now is will tomorrow be similar or much worse? Think you arrive at 7:00 tomorrow and get a bottle? Or are we looking at 5 or 6AM?

 

Tomorrow will be worse because more people will be in town and there will be more mules.

 

It will be worse however the people up front can only circle once bottles start selling. I think before 8am would realistically be safe unless someone busses in a ton of mules.

 

I guess I will shoot for 6-630AM and hope for the best. Can anyone recommend a good uber stop fairly close. Want to park my car then uber in. My first thought was to actually park at CCB but im not sure if they would be cool with that or not.

 

If you show up that line to ac release....after all that's been posted about how busy they are.....that's on you for taking such a risk


Line cutters suck. But no way I'd show up that lat. Just not smart

 

7venth Sun said it was ok.

 

These releases always remind me of the old days of camping out for concert tickets. Angry Chair is awesome and deserves the attention but I mostly drink their IPAs and berliners. The samples of the stouts I have from are always excellent though.

 

Online , 1 entry pp Lotto, the week before event for a chance to buy a full set of TBBW bottles. No proxies, pick up during TBBW, at the end of the week, any unsold allotments get sold in tap room on some random unannounced day. Problem solved .

 

And people will still complain


There is no perfect system.
