    Being that I'm number 401...I'm not very optimistic. Maybe ones of you lucky ones will share if I miss out.

    My favorite part of the experience was watching a guy tell his wife exactly what to order on her form. Mule ass bitch. Who doesn't need four cases? Seriously. Sorry about the rant.

    This makes me nostalgic for the good old times at Eccentric Day, before crazy beer hype. Wait, that was just yesterday. Arrived about 8:50 AM, walked in the door right at 9 with Kzoobrew and two minutes later was enjoying a barrel aged dagger stout for breakfast. Then I had to walk a whole 15 steps up to the bar and had to wait for one whole person in front of me before I could order my Toasted Espresso Third Coast Old Ale. Chocolate covered bacon with cayenne powder, some good cheese along with a Breakfast Blend Double Cream Stout and still only about 25 people by 10:30. Wait, why the hell am I telling you all this, you enjoy waiting in line for hours in the snow. Cheers.

    Wrist bands and drink tickets are for sale now in the beer garden and pub if you wanna get them early.

    I was in the 300's but managed to whittle my way down to 89. Today is going to be a great day.

    I'm sure numbers 90 - 299 would enjoy an explanation on this.

    Oh definitely not at 4 Elf. My tv channel was set somewhere in the 300's, but I have since changed it to 89. Stay warm my bearded comrades!

    Well then, like someone else said, channels 90-299 sure would appreciate a damn good explanation.

    I just ignored them and kept skipping channels to 89. Haven't heard from them since.

    You're pretty much what is wrong with beer releases

    Can someone enlighten me here? So people go and form a line before they hand out forms. Then when Dark Horse starts handing out the forms everyone bum rushes so a person who arrived at 5:45 can get a sub 100 numbered ticket? Sounds like everything that's wrong with beer releases, glad Bell's doesn't do this.

    Still not 100% sure what you did & it is my 1st time at one of these but it seems to be a dick move to me...especially since I'm someone who may not get anything

    I seriously don't understand releases anymore. Format was changed so people did not have to line up all night and now line starts earlier then ever

    I actually like how Bell's does it. When a special release is bottled and ready to sell, they put it in the cooler, and word of mouth takes over. No lines or insanity.
