    Does a baby get you to the front of the line?

    I would trade a baby to get in early, great idea!

    It doesn't work that way anymore. Sixteen was the last year of the free for all. Now we have to wait for the timed taps just like everyone else.

    I think I might actively be hoping there aren't any crazy good variants available because I really don't want to stand in that line in this weather. If there isn't anything I'm dying to try I can just stroll in later and settle for 21 on tap, oh the humanity.

    Also, last year the "special" stuff I hadn't had before that tapped out first wasn't exactly stellar.

    I'll be real interested in seeing how much more manageable navigating that room will be will no sharing this year .

    Probably not at all unfortunately. The only source of beer will be CW, so more people will be in lines.

    Protip: If there is a huge clusterfuck right in front of the timed taps try another pour station. I stood in the clusterfuck line for 1/2 an hour last year before a nice lady mercifully told me you could get any of the beers at any of the stations (except the XX station). No idea how long it took to clear that unorganized mob of a line but after we knew the secret we were double fisting pours inside of 5 minutes. Hopefully the signage is more helpful this year instead of making it seem like everyone has to go through one line to get the good shit.

    This!

    Last year the signs were confusing. Made it look like you could only get certain beers in certain lines. That may have been their original intent but that line got ridiculous really quick.

    Hey all, a buddy just found out he couldn't go & I have two tickets if anybody wants them, face value. I'll throw them up in the jungles of FB tomorrow if there aren't any takers.

    I think you're in luck, as many people without kids will amazingly refer to 3 year olds (and older) as babies. I think you can make this happen.
