    I've just been keeping an eye on Top Hop's Facebook since I have the voucher (as I'm sure a bunch of NYC BAs here do) but haven't seen anything yet.

    Yup, I am waiting redeem them. Any idea if the number of vouchers distributed is related to their allotment?

    I vaguely remember hearing the first 100 were getting them. It does seem like a lot, but if they did it so people wouldn't have to wait in line again, I'd assume they allocated correctly.

    Great. I'm hoping it touches down before I head back to RI for Xmas.

    Was at Top Hops last week and asked the owner (Ted) about it. Said it is still held up by the SLA and that it WILL be released in NY, the question is when. Could be before end of year, Jan, etc. He said hold in to the tickets and they will honor them when it happens.

    This is all due to the government shutdown.

    Vote Quimby!

    Top Hops just updated their FB to say they are getting the Backyard shipment tomorrow. They'll update when it's in, but you MUST have the ticket to purchase.

    So if it's getting to TH tomorrow, I'm assuming everywhere else will start getting it as well, so time to get back on the hunt.

    Any idea if it will be an issue picking up multiple bottles with multiple tickets? Buddy of mine is going to be out of town for the holidays and asking if I can pick his up...

    Just in case this hasn't gotten around yet, if you are a ticket-holder (meaning, you were at Top Hops on Black Friday), Backyard Rye is now in and available. They will hold bottles for one week. No idea on pricing, can update tomorrow.

    I'm assuming they will hold it for a week from today (when they got it)?

    Stopped by for my bottle today, from what I gathered the worker was not 100% confident every ticket holder will get a bottle AND if you come in with five tickets does not mean he will give you five bottles.

    It is christmas eve, so maybe he is jaded?

    Appreciate the info. Definitely need to hit that on Thursday since they're closed tomorrow.

    Can't imagine they'd hand out more vouchers than their allotment would allow.

    P.S. I hope everyone is enjoying their holidays!

    Might be that they didn't get as much as originally planned. But it seems that a good number of ticket holders are out of town.
