    As a local who actually did get shut out and did not bitch about it, im glad this was a lot easier to buy. Gonna be hard to get into beer friends when I wasnt able to buy Lazier :slight_frown:

    Someone complained on facebook to Bob that why doesn't he do in person sales with lines. Bob gave a great response about being fair and this system is the fairest. A+ as always Bob.

    And like what @HoppyLuckyGoGo said, where are all the complainers now?

    Can't those folks wait for the 8th for the in person sales? I mean, it's right around the corner.

    Had a glass of Help Yourself a few weeks ago at the Hermosillo and I'll be damned if it wasn't the best HPB beer I've had yet - suffice to say I got my 2 bottles, nice and easy. And how anyone in their right mind would prefer lining up to an online sale is beyond me.

    Because they can bring 10 family members and post IG pics of their "hauls"?

    There is a slow and steady take over of my beer space by the HPB brand. I need to stop this nonsense of saving them for I don't know what and get to imbibing.

    I'll buy way more Help Yourself if it's available. I loved it on tap. It's definitely one of my top HPB beers.

    Visiting HPB tomorrow - this is a NOOB question but do they have bottles for sale (besides the aforementioned online sale?)

    I have a proxy as i'm in Texas, been lucky enough to grab Lazy Susan, Lazier, BA Satin and now Help Yourself. Opened my first Lazy Susan the other day and was floored, posted about it and raved to the beer friends. I'm gonna be doing my damned best to get all the releases to be invited next year. Even though I can't be local, i'll be supporting HBP where I can -- and not just the stone fruit goods.

    With this release, they pretty much showed that proxies don't account for much. That was the right amount of bottle limit to fulfill that itch. It's still up for grabs right now, a solid 12 hours later. I think that if they went one bottle limit more, it would be sold out by now. But this was pretty spot on and there's no way any one can complain that they aren't looking out for those locals on this one.
