    It's happening. Special stuff for early birds, hot coffee for the line, cellar raffle, variable bottle allocations based upon turnout.

    Questions? Ask away.

    Vav's too good at this game... Given a similar turnout as last year, do you expect '14 allocations to be

    a) significantly lower
    b) slightly lower
    c) about the same
    d) slightly higher
    e) significantly higher
    f) everyone will be bathing in vats of prop

    Always depends on how many show up, but if it's a similar turnout to last year it'll be slightly higher. There's a good bit of beer to go around this year.

    Well the raffle and such will be in there, but as for special tappings, at this time i dont have anything mind blowing planned. The logistics of doing an insane tap list on top of the 3+ hours of chaos of bottle sales give me nightmares.

    Now for the important stuff... Hot coffee for the line. How cool is that? Vav & LP always do BF right.

    Pick 3 variants (bombers or 4-packs) + a 4 pack of regular. There was tons of regular though, so after the line was done you could buy as much regular as you wanted I believe.

    We dropped off coffee last year, would be surprised if we didn't do it again this year... Also there is always the whole BCBCS connection, would be silly if we didn't.

    But you are right, more and more good stuff in the city. Love seeing that.

    I hate my family and I have nothing else to do, see everyone that morning, should be another fun day. Lets hope no asshats try to sneak a family member or two in line prior to tickets being handed out.
