    Just arrived. Maybe 50-60 people outside. Does anyone know a good place to rent a Kia soul before 3????

    I'm on the way up with the van full of Chinese people. Figure I'd outsource the muling and save myself a few bucks :wink:

    If you had to deal with him the past two beer releases, you'd have the same feelings.

    Just so everyone is aware as they decide to come to the event exclusively to buy bottles of Fifteen: there was a line of VIPs about 100 deep as the first people in line outside were getting in at 3. Everyone seems to be getting their additional 4 bottle allotment.

    Fifteen in bottles or not, come support CW and take advantage of a spectacular taplist.

    Friends, distributors, industry connected individuals, etc. we're allowed access to the event several hours prior to the general public.

    Update: They are bringing out more as it runs low. Currently unknown how much is left. As the 18 cases wound down, they brought out 18 additional cases.

    Great party. Got let in for the VIP unexpectedly. 15 is delicious. All the BA beers are too with a year instead of 6 months. These guys guys came prepared for the crowd. Got some of the O'so releases yesterday too. They let us crack bottles at our table there. Overall an awesome weekend. And it's only 4:00 on Saturday! Might have a couple 15's for IP trade to some FIBS that couldn't make it. Hit me up. Now back to my Brewhouse Coffee Stout....

    Wish I could have hooked you up. Already left. Woodmans in the Northern part of the state has plenty, I expect the one closer to you should have some soon... And less expensive.

    Cheers

    In line for two hours to fall ten people short of getting any 15. Pretty redic they didnt give out tickets. Also watching "vips" go back in when they were saying 10 cases left right in front of us was just great

    Sorry to hear that. what time did you get there? I got there at 1:30 and got my 15 at 4:00. They said there was 32 cases left at that point.

    Any one know if they sold out of their other offerings like PM or BBBW? I saw lots of cases going out the door.

    Let's start the debate. Is it ok for locals to shut our everyone else? If someone "from Chicago" gets "60" bottles OMG LOCALS GOT SHUT OUT, but when locals get multiple allotments each it's ok?

    I frankly don't care either way.

    I was lucky enough to be able to buy 4 bottles of 15. I was in line by 2:30 and got to the end of the line at 4:30. After talking to a number of people, it seems like many of the VIP members were able to buy many more than the 6 they should have been able to purchase (2 during the VIP session & 4 after 3).
