    Given the case limit it would be surprising if they didn't have a lot.

    I would assume if they're only doing one beer and like @jfclark said with the case limit that they would have a lot. Also assuming they don't want a Street Green situation all over again.

    Do you think you would need to be lined up at open to get beer? Would like to try it. But not if it's going To be ridiculous

    There are 760 cases. You come at noon and be fine.

    Not sure if you're being serious, but there will 100% be a line at open. The better question is how long will that line be?

    Im not as confident, but this is exactly what i'm doing. If I get I get it if not oh well, Ill grab a few pints and be on my way. There will always be a new beer, and I am comfortable knowing I will not get to try them all.

    Yes. I am confirming that someone from OH said it to me as we were chatting when the release slowed down.

    my bold unsubstantiated prediction: cans will last into the afternoon, but the line will be long throughout the entire day.

    I tend to agree here. There is a ton of beer, but you're going to wait for it regardless of when you get there I think. It might last until say 1or 2pm, but if you are not in line an hour before the expected end game you're going to be SOL. Don't see any scenario where you roll in at 1pm, get a case and leave in 15-20 minutes.

    As long as I dont have to roll out of bed at 5:30am to be there at 6am and wait 4-5 hours Im OK waiting a bit.

    I haven't been there early the past few releases but it seems they have been opening a bit early. Is that usually the case now?

    Huh? I asked if you would need to be in line at open in order to get beer.

    Anyway. If I can get there at 11 I may go for it. If I go off this assumption and get shut out, that's going to blow hard

    This.

    I think most people who say they won't wait in line will cave to our friend FOMO, and get their arses in line. Taking an hour round trip to find out I get nothing, ouch. Waiting in line for 3-4 and be ensured I get something, not optimal, but better than the first option.

    I highly doubt there will be any point in the day where you can stroll in and be out in less then 5-10 minutes like some releases. There's going to be a line until it sell outs.

    Folks, make no mistake about it....there will be a line and it will be long.
    It is what it is.

    Anyone have any idea of what the color scheme is gonna be on the cans?

    We know what the label looks like (to an extent), but the instagram post has 4 different color schemes. Maybe each 4 pack will have one can of each color scheme?

    It's inconsequential, but lord knows I'm curious.

    Since you are going to be in Brooklyn..swing by Interboro..picked up The Next Episode IPA ..real good..hazy,tropical and totally crushable at 8%..and Bad Meaning Good is also very good..collaboration with Threes Brewing..addition of pastry flour is different..adds a little spice/funk.
