    So if you were in line to get into the brewery at Noon for the other releases, draft was gone by time you got in? I thought I heard they didn't run out until late afternoon / early evening.

    You're right, though...we have no idea what to expect for this BA version.

    sorry I was speaking purely for bottle pickup. It could definitely be on tap still, again it just depends on if they decided to put more in bottles vs tap and quantities.

    Did they even say it was going to be on tap next weekend?

    Safe to assume there will be none available for draft from one day into the next. After the tickers satisfy the Untappd God, then they are freed to tradez away the bottle(s).

    I thought that was the goal? Drink 2oz of a beer you waited in line for hours for and then flip your bottled for 20x profit?

    If they are pouring those tiny 5oz pours and you’re being resourceful enough, you can pour 2 of the ounces into a vial for trade later. Plus, you have option to baby bird feed the 3oz you just consumed by listing it FT for a solid bottle.

    Vanilla Caviar is a real thing. All the flavor, none of the work...

    I'm still on the fence on this one. Not sure what to do. Want to sit in line, but not really. Want to go at lunch to see or get a taste, but not really. Want to just go Sunday, but also may not get there.
    Is it worth it? Anyone who tasted it and can tell how good these releases can be????

    Yeah I acknowledged that I was wrong about this. It doesn't appear to be a very well-known item, though, hence why a lot of people have "liked" my comment on the issue. Still, it's good to know when I'm wrong, so thanks.

    Do they pretty much have everything on draft in crowlers?

    Not always. Once they start getting low on some stuff, they stop offering crowlers of it.

    I understand that it sold out quick, but any reviews of the fruit? Curious if there's anything good to compare it too.

    Has anyone seen the pre offers? They are getting large.

    Either some people are going to get royally screwed on some trades, or those trades are going to encourage a bigger shit show. I can't tell which since I seem to be one of the few that are still expecting this to be the epic shit show it feels like it will be.

    These pre trades are definitely going to encourage a bigger shit show. But hype is what MoRE wants, so they've been quite effective at ramping it up. Seeing that some people are offering BAA 1:1, that basically spells a first come, first serve type of release for BAA in Chicagoland.

    Is there bottle sharing in line in the neighborhood or no?

    Yep, I’m one of those making (what feels like) ridiculous offers, and despite that, I’m not getting any bites. It’ll be really interesting to see what happens when it actually releases. I don’t see how it can increase MUCH in value. I mean, the next step is basically like KBBS level.

    Patience is a virtue - one which @JPick has none of at this time for some unknown reason. I’m usually the a-hole being a bit frivolous with my beer.

    We don’t even know type of barrels aged in (I’d surmise they are constructed from Home Depot lumber) or how long (28 days?) but let’s go for it!!!

    Were the non-BA beers really that damn good? And we know that the beer will be (should be) radically different after putting it to barrel. I have a hard time seeing these brews as BAA level, but I’m also ignorant to their prior batches and other beers.

    I’ll say this though - sexy AF packaging. I’m going to go post an ISO...

    Sorry if it's been asked/answered. Line up starts at 7am(technically) what time are they starting to sell the bottles, when they open at 12noon, or right at 7am? It's going to be a CIRCUS no doubt, but it would help if they started selling right at 7am. I'm expecting this to look like Binneys Lincoln Park Black Friday GI release
