    Especially since Universe is owned by Ticketmaster.

    Yeah, super confusing on the pickup portion, but I figured it out.

    The only thing I found to gauge interest on the Oznr App is the Subscriber info on the Brewers page.

    So More Villa Park has 5900 subscribers.
    Then Maplewood has 5200 subscribers.
    Goose Island has 8900 subscribers.
    And a smaller place like Old Irving has 1600 Subs.
    Phase 3 is 7800 subs and even a new addition Cruz Blanca already has 741 subscribers.

    That's about the only way to see potential demand. Again all subs are not required or guaranteed to enter a particular lotto and people who don't subscribe can also access any lottos they want.

    Hope this muddies the waters a bit more :slight_smile:.

    I don’t get it. I entered my associated email in the special code section but it never asked me what week or day or time. I’ve got a QR code for the tip though!

    A little help here? I'm proxying for a friend, who sent me his receipt that contained no identification of anyone as the proxy, although he listed my name at some point in the purchase/pickup scheduling process as proxy. Can I just roll up to Balmoral with his receipt or do I need to be specifically named?

    Receipt didn't list the proxy info I put on it either. They've said that if someone has the QR code, they can pick it up. So basically, proxy info is pointless, or they're just trying to see how many people are planning on utilizing a proxy for their own knowledge?

    craft beer is an improv sketch

    "We will ask you to name your proxy as a secondary back up, but since your purchase is tied to a QR code, if someone has your QR code they will be allowed to pick up your purchase. "

    I just don’t have the will and drive anymore to do all of this to buy beer. Lotteries, a separate app, waiting rooms, 4 devices, etc. Blah. Reading all of these stories just makes me annoyed lol.

    Now Get off my lawn.

    The only part that makes me real annoyed is giving ticket master money. Fuck ticket master so hard.

    Cash is the best way to tip, even if it seems a bit old fashioned with all the ways you can pay.

    As Lewis Hamilton says, for those who follow F1: cash is king.

    The crazy thing about it all, is that if you walk into Binnys, all the beer tastes pretty much the same more or less if you’re looking for a particular style.

    it’s easier than ever to catch a buzz on something really delicious.

    I mean, you're basically talking $30 per bomber out the door, or to break it down more, $1.23/oz. There's a lot of breweries I respect a lot less, who are charging a lot more than that for hyped releases. Not that I loved dropping $177 either, but it could be worse.

    Yup. I grabbed Phantom Unicorn off of the shelf and it was really good.

    Funny thing is, everything sounds like a beer name anymore. I don’t know whether that’s really a beer or whether you’re making that shit up.

    THAT’s how much beer is around.
