    Anyone get their bottles yet? How is the release? Many people? Separate lines for bottles and growlers? And most importantly has anyone tried any of them yet?

    180-200 people. Separate lines for bottles and growlers. Growler line is really long.

    I was here at 1030 and was 24 in line. In growler line now, but not in the building yet. Seems to be going pretty smoothly given the number of people. The line to pickup release bottles went very quickly.

    Pretty busy today but extremely well organized! Just left we our growler fills and bottle allotment. The allocations were moved up to 6 bottles on CD6 and M&C1. Beautiful day to visit one of the best breweries known to man!

    Pretty much not needed. Bill is a solid trader and spreads HF love. Chill out and sit the next couple plays out.

    Cheers guys. Believe me, I drink the vast majority of the HF brews I get! Stuff is good. In fact, I usually try to trade for more HF!

    Life is good my friends, drink awesome beer.

    Wasn't directed towards him it was the whole New England area most all of u hoard hf and hold it for ransom.. Look at the trade forums.. Once asked a guy to get me some juicy and id PayPal him the money ... For god sake the beer was there forever .. No that wasn't good enough.. I've done this numerous times with Floyd's beer since I live so close.. That's real advocacy

    Don't feed the troll.

    I wonder if this means there will be another bottle release fairly soon since it seems they are trying to clear out these bottles and not have them linger. I know their storage space isn't great.

    I asked if they were trying to clean out quickly and got a nod. I assume these are meant to be gone ASAP to make room for more releases.

    Got there at 11 today was 65th in line. Did not attempt the growler line as there were 60 people in it when we got our bottles.

    I'll be more than happy to trade you HF beer $4$ for a BADL. But you guys ransom that, son I guess it evens out.
