    I saw that they were planning on tapping a keg at 5 today. I guess I was just curious how this works with tickets and all for anyone who's been to one of their tappings before? Were tickets sold in advance, and if you haven't bought one you're SOL, or if I went an hourish early would I have any chance of grabbing a pour?

    Cheers,
    Ben

    If I remember right, and no certainty of that, they sold the tickets about 1 hour before. Recent years have seen this fiasco simmer down a bit, with more places grabbing some kegs. Still, with the nice weather more people may be persuaded to head on down there. Good luck!

    last year they had it for a good half hour after it was tapped on the first day. I would think you should be fine and tickets were free i think it was like $10 a pour

    We went last saturday, got there at 11:30ish and got tickets no problem. A buddy showed up at about 12:30 (tapping was at 1) and got a different ticket that didn't guarantee him a pour, but put him in line before others without any tickets.
    They didn't charge us for the ticket and we just put the beers on our tab when we actually got them.

    This is how it works, but supposedly the 5 o'clock tapping is a lot crazier than the 1 o'clock. I'd plan on getting there early. Like right now.
