    i was there at 9pm and missed the variant and vintage. i did have a fair amount of people cut in front of me however. i really only go for the 2 cases of BBPT5 and the good time anyways though. i wouldnt mind getting some sarsparilla though, thats pretty good stuff.

    Odd. We arrived at 6:30pm and were one of the last to get BourbRum and the 2012 BBPt5 was a pipedream by the time we received our numbered form.

    My buddy and I arrived at 11pm the night before, ended up around #325. Sold out of vintage, but scored two cases of BBA Plead and Rum aged 4 elf. However, the real fun is the party at night. Had a ton of hard to find beers; everyone shared some big time brews.

    Got there about 2:30am with 5 friends who are casual craft fans (aka not truck chasers or line sitters) and I told them how much fun I had in 2013 alone so they thought bottle sharing sounded cool. We hung out & wished we had gotten there much earlier just to share more beers in line & meet more people around us.
    Oh and I got my 2 cases too

    Well I guess we know what's necessary when arriving at 8pm to get everything then.

    I'm going opposite direction of most in this thread. I've been to 4elf the past 4 years, and have waited overnight towards the front of the line each year. Fuck that shit this year, I'm getting there mid-afternoon that Saturday to get some BBPlead then enjoying the party. I'm done waiting outside in 20-30deg weather.

    Or maybe that's because I'm diggin the warm weather right now and don't want to think about winter right now...

    It's all infected. They're dumping it all into kegs which I will have to dispose of properly.

    They didn't announce details for 4elf last year until damn near the end of November as far as I can remember. I do believe I've heard that it's almost always the 2nd Saturday in December though. So probably plan for 12/12?
