    Does Rev move through the line pretty fast or does it drag??

    Crazy how many people are drinking. Honestly had no idea the bottle share was this crazy. I got here at 1:50 and I'm probably about 175th or so in line. Got a pour of Ryeway from @Veliksta1 which was delicious.

    Leave it to the neckbeards to turn every single line into a bottle share. When I went for VSOJ last year, the only beers being consumed were the complimentary pours from @Veliksta1 of Code Switch, and some anti-hero that they went around and passed out to everyone. It's kinda sad that every one of these devolves into a shit-show bottle share.

    Also... stroller count? It's a nice day, so there's gotta be at least half a dozen.

    Agree 100%. You're standing in line to (likely) go get pours. Just chill and talk with your neighbors.

    They are handing out pre order sheets. Interesting to see if it speeds things up. Good on them to give it a try.

    I went to the Beerhead event last night, and realized I had already had Boss Jacket 2019 at Rev in January? I thought both were good but VSOD was better,.

    Every time you guys do this stroller bit its like "I'm 29 years old, I have one male friend, I don't understand why toddlers would be anywhere."

    Huge ass share this time around - you crazy fools!! I was happy with the two pours of Ryeway that came through.
    They put up No Smoking signs - didn’t help much.
    Got in line at 2pm (~160th) with some fine folks like @wally_world, and purchased cans by 4:48pm.
    Last time with VSOR I was in line at 2:45pm (near 350th in line?) and got cans at 5:35pm.
    BIG shout out to @tiffman for bringing me the Cafe VSOD!!! (Damn Rev points line skipper... )
    Regardless, great people, great beer. THANKS REV!!

    It's actually the idea that people bring very young children to beer events, including newborns, and wander around with a baby on a hip, and a beer in the other hand, when it's 30 degrees in winter. It's a bad look... I have 2 kids and one on the way. I'd never dream of bringing a kid to a beer release, or to stand in line, especially in the middle of winter. If I couldn't find a sitter, I wouldn't go. Call me judgemental if you want, but it's just a terrible look, IMO.

    At CW Black Gold there was a guy walking around with a baby under a year in a baby Bjorn while he double-fisted BA stout... while it snowed, and was like 35 degrees... lol.

    I mean... be a parent. Your kids are more important than beer.

    Not to mention, people walking around with expensive beer pours, and toddlers under the feet, is just asking for trips and spilled beer.
