    No, for whatever reason, they stated pretty quickly that they wouldn't cancel them. Had no problem getting all six bottles! Yeah for BT...boo for wallet!

    I didn't have an issue with updating the quantity. It just took 15-20 seconds.

    A bit slow, but so much easier than last years. Had the same issues as a few of you where it didn't take my 2 and had to fix it, but I still made it in time.

    The painful part will be getting those bottles though:-)

    I'm pretty sure it took longer than 10 minutes to produce this beer.

    Last year it took an hour (almost to the minute) to sell out, this year 10 minutes? Wow, and here I thought the insanity was starting to level off...:confused:

    And the allocation limit was even lower this time around. "Level off" sounds like a dream lol

    Only 3K bottles today seems surprisingly low to me. Sounds like they put about 70% aside for the RS members!

    Yup, 10 minutes...that was definitely insane! I was one of the lucky ones who got in at the right time, though I kept getting a credit card error, so just kept resubmitting until it went through... finally did after the 15th time :slight_smile:

    Got my two. Had trouble with my first card, kept saying the billing address was wrong. It was quite a scramble to enter in another card, but I got it through at the four minute mark.

    They also hold some back for their own cellar purposes. Vintage sales, pouring at clusterforks and other events.

    The point is that it tookThe Bruery close to a year to make that $90K, not ten minutes.

    Once again, of course it took them a year. I was simply stating that it would be nice if you could spend a year producing a product that you could "completely" liquidate in ten minutes. It's a cash flow dream. Especially towards the end of the year when you might want to pay bonuses, do year end maintenance, etc.
