    I don't think it's that SP bottles don't have trade value any longer... It's that most (minus a few exceptions) don't have crazy secondary values any longer which I think is a great thing. I love being able to trade for MOST side project bottles $4$ these days.

    which still can’t be that pleasant considering how pricey SP is.

    i think Corey is actively trying to make bigger batches of beer. which is why Fuzzy, for example, doesn’t really trade at anything more than cost.

    The weather did not keep the mules away yesterday! They were out in abundance. Even openly talking about how they don't really like beer. The only thing that keeps them away is the last minute to go announcements. It doesn't give people enough time to plan for it.

    Once upon a time (AdF b3 maybe?) I actually saw people get out of line because the limit was too high

    Although the weather is out of our control, we are sorry about the conditions this morning. There are too many people already in line to cancel on them, so please stay home if it’s too dangerous. To-go bottles not sold today will be released to-go on a later date.
    We had this release scheduled with staffing and at the end of stout week since December. My fault for not checking the weather last night before our post. Heard rumblings of a 1/2inch of snow, but not this ice!
    When I checked the security cameras this morning, there were already too many people there to straight up cancel the release, because many of those people were probably some of the ones that have driven the farthest too!
    Please make adult decisions, stay home if it’s too dangerous, but we are going to release the beer for those that are there.
    There is no perfect out for us in this situation, so please help us by taking into consideration your own safety before getting on the roads.
    We picked a hell of a day to release a to-go BA stout... Cheers,
    Cory

    It took me over 5 hours to get there so I guess I’m a “max profitz hound”.

    The 4 people who were in front of me were all being paid “very well” ($20/hr) to stand in line by a local. Looks like I’m not maxing my profitz as much as some of the other hounds out there.

    That's pretty messed up, but I can't say I'm surprised

    tuesday release because locals were complaining about how he handled sunday’s release or because it lasted for like 2 months last year?

    Not sure how long it lasted last year, but whatever the amount was, it was too long. Fantastic beer.

    Yeah, I was curious about that - looks like about 3 weeks based on cellar/brewery menu posts from last year.
