    For last year, similar experience. Showed up about 60 mins early and was 100 back. Many people looped included one I saw with 3 allocations. So, it wasn’t hard to get if you were there at the sale time.

    Guessing 100 deep or so. Non scientific measurement. :slight_smile:

    The line and the people who wanted to loop through the line more than once has finished. There appears to be enough four packs still available to last awhile.

    After a disappointing bottling show last year, I think this years BA Quiet Giant is great. Last year was good on tap, zero carb in the bottle. This year seemed a little over carbed- maybe they cranked it a little too high in hindsight of last years. Flavors were good, and the rum coconut is goddamn amazing. Wish my whole 6 pack was that stuff!

    Yeah, I wasn't impressed enough by the regular Quiet Giant to make the trip for cans. But I absolutely would have picked up a pack of rum coconut.

    Thought I was going to miss this year’s release but was lucky enough to get my little guy to the release probably close to 30 minutes after the start of bottle sale, and still walked away with a 6pk. The totes they gave away was a nice touch, and definitely love my two new mini snifters! Cracked my my first coco/vanilla QG last night and thought it was excellent. Very well balanced and perfectly carbed.

    Still some on tap and in cans. The 2 year bourbon barrel aged is fantastic. Smooooth!

    You procrastinators will be pleased to know that four Quiet Giant variants are still on tap, with the other two listed as on deck. Cans also still available.

    Tempted to go back and get another 4pk of coco/nilla. This year’s is excellent! On the flip side, thought my rum/coconut poured a bit flat. Hope that’s not across the board.
