    i grabbed one and went back 20 seconds later to try and get a second under the wifes name with no luck. my phone isnt doing IG notifications for some reason so I just kept refreshing every 2-3 minute while watching Ozark haha

    I have heard of people getting more than 1 in a single order though. not sure if they'll fulfill those full orders or email them and let them know otherwise, but seems like an oversight on their part knowing how limited this bottle was.

    The luck of the draw in terms of what time slot you grab / how fast that one happens to sell out is a huge pain.

    that shit seems to happen all the time. the key with the side project store is to remove the item from your cart as soon as you see it sold out. i got hosed on that one with bbt b2. i was pissed about that

    Nothing wild. Just an introduction about the group, an overview of the white label beers/BBT, and why they brew them. Was a nice touch. Can’t say any of the other countless beer clubs I’m in have sent anything let alone something this nice.

    Awesome "consolation prize" after missing out on Brooklyn Vibes. Rather have this one and the grisettes!

    Did you get a package? I don't understand how these instagram alerts work. I get an alert, then it said it was posted a few minutes ago. So people are not alerted as soon as the post is made? Do some people get the alerts faster?

    One comment on the Instagram page blew my mind (if true) Someone said they were randomly on the page refreshing (really, why?!) and they saw it go live. Said it sold out, THEN he got an alert.

    Are folks really writing software scripts to snag these beers?

    I got the alert, immediately opened the shop link on my phone, used apple pay and checked out in a few seconds.

    I suspect different apps and different cell networks, not to mention where you are physically located in regards to cell towers or wifi have something to do with when you get the notification.

    I must be the only person who thought BVC tasted like straight red hots at the Invitational. More for y'all.

    I bought 4 Grissette last time I was at the cellar. Then we got a Grissette as a member bottle. Then the 2 that came with the BVC, lol.

    Be glad to sell these I got today to you at cost!

    I just sent my last one away as an extra in a trade, so the timing is perfect for me

    I'm guessing people are writing scripts / using bots or have inside information. Frustrating for sure
