Monkish Brewing

won't have time to wait for cans this weekend. will go the old fashioned route and drink some out of a glass

 

Doubtful, although you may be able to get SOME, which was the case with the last release. I got there at 11:08 and wasn't able to get the full allocation so that should give you an idea. These releases are only going to get more and more popular...

 

So what should my play be here? I am thinking about getting to Monkish early enough to be somewhat in the front of the line so I can get cans as soon as they open and then haul ass to Beachwood to get System of a Stout? Will System of a Stout be sold out by then?

 

System goes on sale earlier than Monkish and given how the line was for Tovarish, I seriously doubt that anyone who gets Monkish cans will make it down in time to get in a place in line that will get them bottles. It's possible, I mean anything is possible. Just seems like this is one of those tough choices that you have to make. Either pick Betty or Veronica, you can't have them both, Archie.

 

I'm going to be attempting to score with Betty and Veronica. I'll let you guys know how it goes on Saturday.

 

I will attempt to do that as well. Does anyone know the limit PP or how many bottles of SOAS will be produced?

 

Limit on SoaS is 6 bottles. The correct answer on which to go to first is Beachwood, but by all means PLEASE go to Monkish first so the Beachwood line isn't ridiculous (...like the Monkish lines as of late)

 

Ah yes, the ol' Arc de Triomphe. Good luck, sir!

......Ahem.

I, on the other hand, will be like Jughead and go for neither. (stupid work)

 

also planning on doing SoaS and then swinging by Monkish after for a taste

 

I don't get either. Freakin' plane doesn't land until 3.

 

Is anyone in line yet ???

 

The planters are already littered with empty Fantastic Cafe bags and whalez bottles....

 

Does monkish police the line or can I bring a couple bottles to drink in line?

 

lol....I don't believe so...but...since day one of can release theres been several peeps in the front of the line that brought coolers full of bottles/cans. At your own risk. I wouldn't. But again...up to you.

 

Yeah I use to do it all the time at bottle releases but with internet bottle sales that kinda went away but now some breweries have started doin these bottle releases again. I know people hate them but I have fun kickin it with peeps in line and sharing bottles. As long as they dont police it like some started doing before the switch

 

I mean... it's 9-11AM. I know some of us get started early... but damn.

 

A couple beers early in the monin never hurt nobody. Not like were gettin hammer time just sharing

 

What else would we do for 3+ hours while waiting for beer. I doubt anyone is getting belligerent. It is more of a social thing.

 

smh...

Plenty of things to do... read a book, drink some tea, take a nap, give grandma a call, file your nails, etc.

 

^ I believe this was already discussed here. If caught by Torrance police, Monkish could lose their license. Not trying to be a party pooper here. But that's the law.
