    The Monkish Website has updates by midday Monday about how many releases per week will happen. They generally release the info via Instagram around 1:30-2:15 on the day of release. General production is anywhere between 70-160 cases. Limits also vary between 3x 4pks to as little as 4-6 cans. The line generally starts even before the announcements by the Haze Laborers who stand there for some reason daily hoping for a release. Generally speaking, they "sell out" within about 1 1/2 to 2 hours after release. So getting there are opening at 4pm may not be enough to secure beer. Wrist bands are given out and IDs are scanned to prevent double dipping and line cutting. No parking in the lot prior to 5:30 on weekdays to not piss off the neighbors and Stroller parking to the left next to the 2nd dumpster.

    So what is my best plan of attack if I'm going out there on a Thurs-Sun?

    Brass knuckles or nunchucks are the way to attack. Cover of dankness, I mean darkness, doesn't hurt either.

    They're still shooting for a release sometime this week. Watch instagram. Posts are generally made one or two hours before open. I have a feeling this will be a weekend release but who knows!

    Plan of attack? I'd say hide behind, or even in, the second dumpster. When the Haze Bros stumble by with their hauls, that's when you pounce.

    I really hope so too. But I feel like everything they release that's "limited" in any sense will sell out ASAP.

    That might set a new record for really not trying.

    It'll never be a Timbo Pils, but I'm sure all monktards will have it n trade that shit away before ever really trying it.

    Was hoping for a little more info, typically at other half there's a consensus on what time you can arrive to get cans. But thanks anyways

    Typically, if you get there before the cans go on sale, or about 15 minutes prior to them going on sale, it's a safe bet you'll walk away with something unless it's a crazy small amount of cans.

    So that pilsner they made, Blind Alley, is pretty darn good. The body is a bit bigger for a pils, but it tastes fantastic. Apparently they're going to try and regularly have a pils or some sort of lager on tap

    I am hoping they do this, I really like Henry's interpretation on a Pilsner.

    Cheers
