    This would appear so. Although this creates a different problem. Now people in group E will start lining up as soon as they enter the fest. Although on the other hand, the grounds and other taps should be lessened from all the people jockeying even more so for each group.

    Nope, but get ready for the reaction of this being thousands of people lining up even earlier this year.

    Sounds like it will be a shit show to get in the allocation line. Now you need to be the front of your group or get vintage, scotch, or stupid peppercorns.

    Or maybe it will be random. Who knows?

    I assume the amount of each variant will be divided by 5 and they will allot that many to each of the groups. 800 Hanjees = 160 for each Group.

    I don't think it will jockeying, they will randomly prefill all the totes and just hand it to you.

    And you'll know you're fucked if yours seems heavier than 5 bottles :grinning:

    At this point I hope it's random, it's going to be an absolute mess with everyone trying to be the first person in their group

    Well that is never going to work. Group A people can hop in Group B's line and get their variants. This is going to be hilarious to watch unfold.

    I hope they just hand you a random closed bag and you get what you get. Otherwise it is going to end up being a mess.

    So basically having a later group is awesome now. Don't have to rush to the festival super early.

    Group A getting the dick this year.. kind of nice

    Not dickish at all. I had a bitch or a time getting in to the que this year. At 12:45 my buddy texted me saying he got in and get me E tickets. I didn't think twice and had him buy me one ticket. I could care less what group I am in. Never thought they would do the variants this way.

    Only true if random. In Group E, I may still want to enter the allotment line at 10:00 AM to try and be first, if it isn't random.

    This is how Three Floyds rewards us for hitting 100 pages on this thread. Variant and Band list drop immediately after.
