The Half-Acre thread (2018)

Must be sold out because it's already for sale on the secondary for $115 ...lol

 

It was good to have 2 POS. I waited 1 hour at 120 in line. That felt slow but maybe it was the cold contributing to that feeling? Maybe 30 seconds per transaction is as good as can be expected. I dunno

 

Down to the last 10 cases ot so. Basically no line. Don’t think the secondary is going to develop how some people hoped. There’s a lot if this to go around.

Which i love.

 

If anyone can grab me an extra I will give you a really big hug? Get it...no seriously I'm stuck in the office and can't leave.

 

Decided to head over to get a draft, glad to see plenty of bottles left. No one out the door when I arrived but a few came after. In and out in 15 minutes. I'm not sad I stayed in the warmth this morning. Tap room is pretty calm as well. Dare I say I'm proud of this city for once?

 

I could use a friend too 7 cases left... I'm definitely not making it.

 

I’m leaving the loop now but prob takes me 30 mins to get there, easy. Hoping it’s not for naught...

 

It’ll still be on draft. But you might be ok.

 

Drank a few glasses on draft: so tasty. 10 cases left when i left at 2:30pm, two registers, stellar attitudes and hard metal playing... this is how a beer release should be. Everyone in line was so cool too.

 

Wait. What?!? Crap, I meant to put $415. FML.

 

Plenty of Orin when I left at 2:30 too...if ur into that kind of thing.

 

Oh yeah, I'm just saying I appreciated it too (since I criticized earlier).

I missed out on Benthic twice last year, so I had to line up this time. Hopefully next year it'll even hit distro.

Nice to see they still had bottles of Orin, too. It's a really tasty beer if you're in the mood. Part of me is wondering if my BCS budget is better spent at HA right now...

 

Yeah, when people group up so close togeather its harf for me to tell. So hopefully the distance was also a good clue. Whatever plenty for those who got there early.

 

Anybody have an updated case count? Thanks!

 

Mission aborted. Traffic too heavy with the weather to get there at a reasonable time with enough time to get back home for a prior engagement. Aw well. Was a fun 15 mins. Haha

 

Sold out

 

Annnnd they just tweeted it’s sold out.

 

Thank god I don't have to brave the cold after work for it now....

 

Since I couldn't make it today, benthic should at least be on tap for the next week or two, no?

Glad everyone had a great experience. Always thought half acre gets lost in the shuffle sometimes of our beer scene.

 

Not sure if expecting it to be on tap for a week or two is correct. My memory isn’t the best but didn’t think it was on that long last year. They obviously made more of it this year, but also have two locations to keep up with. It you really want it on tap, probably best to get there as soon as you can.
