    Do you get a bracelet when you get there (assuming there are still some), or do they start handing them out at a certain time?

    Just got here... To be honest, with people sleeping and camping - I don't think there is a way to quantify the line until people start to waking up...

    Man I'm just sitting at home brewing, listening to metal, and drinking a 2012 backwoods bastard. Wish I was there.

    Thanks. Works for WA too. But I had to play with the URL to make it work. Doesn't seen to have a hot button to get you there.

    Jealous from a distance. Will have a 2013 in your honor.

    Last night was great guys, I stopped by briefly, a bit longer than expected when I ran into some fine folks (employees) for Northgate Brewing and Dangerous Man. Bummed my commitment ran late last night so I missed my buddy being awake to get him $$$ to get my bottles, truck chasing it is.

    If a kind BA has 3 bottles to spare (4 would rule) let me know (got the cash).
    If not I would LOVE the bottle bag (the one you get free if you buy 6 or it's like uh $5 or 6 for it) I can toss ya cash or some nice homebrew for it.

    Bummed I couldn't hang and camp out, have a great day guys. Thanks Lobo for that BIF again, got a beer I've sought for a long long time and couldn't be happier.

    Cheers

    You can totally have my bottle bag free of charge.
    Don't think the chasing will be too hard. Lake Wine and Spirit said they'll have plenty. Though who knows.

    You are my hero sir, BM sent to figure out the logistics :slight_smile:

    Yea I figure getting the beer won't be dreadful, it's just nice to not have to run around. Thanks

    Yeah, that sucked. Got there at 6:30. I guess better than being the first person not to get one.

    What are the chances of there being some left over for people to buy later in the day?

    Were you guys at Darkness last year pouring sour (and other) amazing homebrews from a pumpkin tap? A few friends of mine loved you guys, I have pictures, but no one remembered the name.

    Edit:
    These are the guys I am talking about, and would love to find out more about them if anyone knows. They were homebrewers from northern WI or MN without a taproom but were working on it, thats all I remember.
