    Seems likely given 2 of the 3 made it last week...but you never know. Colleges opening up their Fall terms might increase the crowds.

    Very true. I am planning to go tomorrow but can't make it till around then. Guess I'll check Instagram and play it by ear. Hoping to grab these two!

    Boy times have changed in just 7 years. I would have never ever been able to afford (money and time waiting in line) a 4 pack of beer at the current prices a brewery like TH sells as a college student.

    Ha, exactly. When I was in school, I'd could buy two 30-packs of swill for the price of one 4-pack.

    If anything, I'd say all the teachers with free summers to stand in line are now back to work, so that would balance out any privileged college kids in line.

    Wonder if chairs are required for the Anchorage release/version

    I think the early line people were mostly dropping off chairs at lunch time and going back to work, so that won't change when summer ends.

    When you post on Instagram for the whole world to see, at least use the word "their" correctly. Aren't these marketing/social media people educated? Pet peeve of mine.

    Carry on. I'd like to try this Copy & Paste version, sounds delicious.

    I can't make it until 6. Is it even worth going down?

    .

    If you can trust people won't hoard and be bums. Really low blow, 3-4 per and everyone is safe.

    Expensive cases at least. Let's hope the mules don't ruin it for us.

    Eh I'll head over anyway. Worse comes to worst, I still can go to the General Store and grab a bottle or two of something.

    Also as of Monday night they still had HopHands and Go Ride a Bike, don't know how long that lasts after release days.

    They must not be expecting much of a crowd if they're putting a case limit on these. Was it last week that something like 30 cases of 2 different beers lasted until the next day? I guess they would prefer not to have a repeat of that.

    I think it has been a good long while since an entire can run sold out in a couple of hours that didn't have a Milkshake or something else in really high demand. This would project to be a pretty "normal" release, where "normal" releases have at least one beer make it behind the bar, but I dunno. The case limit is a real wild card.

    I wonder if they set their limits in part by counting how many chairs drop early for a release? Maybe there is an extraordinarily low # of chairs today.

    Hi guys, I will be in Philly tomorrow afternoon, and will be leaving sometime Friday afternoon. I was hoping to pick up some cans before I go. I see that there are two offerings being released today at 5:00pm. Any chance there will be leftovers tomorrow afternoon? And if not, are any other cans currently being sold, or are growlers my only hope to bring beer home? Thanks in advance!

    Cans tomorrow from the release today seem doubtful, but it's still a maybe. Either way, the General Store has Hop Hands, Go Ride a Bike, and Helles Other People along with a number of bottles.

    Line isn't even to Athens yet, so this one looks to be light.

    There is still a very small amount of Go Ride A Bike at the store, fyi. Happy to snag some 4 days after it dropped! This is the way it should be.

    Also, the new champion of bizarre line placeholders:

    Hopefully it's better than that Jolly Pumpkin version was.
