    Started at 9 am? Either way, with the way these events work that have you sitting in a queue, it’s hard to know what a Wild West open purchase would be versus a timed entry. If the release was done like a Side Project one, hard to say if this equates to 2 minutes, 5 minutes, or whatever. Just guessing - others may have a better idea or will straighten me out.

    Pretty sure it didn't start until 9am (that was when I kicked over from waiting). I think 8:50 was just mentioned as a time someone got in the waiting room. So 21-ish minutes.

    It definitely didn’t really start till 9, and the text from my friend was at 9:17, for what that is worth.

    Got mine at about 10:08 eastern.

    177 bucks for a dozen 12oz cans? What a time to be alive.

    Not hating, of course. More power to them.

    Same for me. Printed confirmation and charge to my card. I figured that was more than enough.

    As good a deal as you’ll find in the beer world. World class stout at a “reasonable” price. These kind of pick ups are rare in the world these days. I’m just sad I didn’t discover it before last year.

    Buddy and I were very careful to make sure we didn't both get an allotment. Between this, going to Revo for cans and one of us hopefully hitting on the Maplewood lottery, plus picking up his Prop Day allocation...

    Well, I'm not really trying to get divorced at the moment.

    Yeah man, I don't hate on anyone for their prices. Wine has been going for these premiums for ages and no one bats an eye. These beers are labor intensive and difficult to pull off. Clearly the market exists. Good for those folks and their success.
