    What is the booth line situation like tonight? Every picture I've seen on Twitter makes it look like a madhouse, but pictures can be deceiving. Any thoughts from attendees?

    Lines weren't bad at all ... Even during the peak Funky Buddha & Toppling Goliath which had the longest lines moved nicely

    No problems at all. The funky Buddha and toppling goliath lines were by far the longest, but still not bad.

    Are you sure those two were the longest? The Dogfish line was ridiculous while Sam was there.

    I wasn't in line, I just saw it.

    I am a first timer (and also staff), though.

    Just joking dude. That DFH line can get crazy, which I like excuse it frees up room at other booths

    Brewers were rationing beers so they'd have some to pour during all 3 sessions.

    And smart people looking to try the Funky Buddha and BeerAdvocate collaborations. Line was moving quick too.

    Can anyone speak to how long it took for the back part of the line to the get into the venue? Just curious as I wont be able to get there early. Excited for my first EBF! Hopefully my must haves don't kick too early.

    The lines were minimal all night. Funky Buddha and Toppling Goliath had the longest lines and they were flying through pours so the wait was less than 5mins for those two at the most. Don't worry about lines, they are not an issue.

    Awesome time last night!

    In general, it felt like there were a lot of people, but there were so many awesome beers that the lines were well split everywhere. Tree House line moved the slowest...not sure if that was because everyone got the same beer so one pourer was useless or because Dean was talking to everyone :wink:

    Funky Buddha's line doubled back on itself today. I timed 15 min for my wait (but it was well worth it!)
    TG & TreeHouse's lines were decent, but the wait wasn't really that bad. DFH had two lines - one for 120 min and the other (much much shorter) for everything else.
