    I think between 130 and 2 PM is the golden time to show up without any lines. Parking is still shitty but you can deal. However, I'm starting to notice a severe lack of dogs in costume.

    Agreed ... not sure about tomorrow though with the Wakefield collab - but I still think you are better off arriving at 1:30/2. Friday will be tough, cuz, you know, Friday ... Saturday should be a shitshow all day. Parking has definitely been the biggest challenge.

    Not sure this helps much, but I've biked to Bottle Logic several times as it's very accessible from the Santa Ana River trail. Noble, Bruery Terreux, Valiant, Phantom Ales and Out of the Park pizza also very accessible from the trail.

    I've parked 3 times now where everyone parks in the "no parking anytime" and nothing as of yet.. Was that listed under bottle logics safe zone? (doubt it)

    Any idea on how long iridium will last today? FS seemed to last pretty late into yesterday and the crowds have seemed to be smaller today.

    It's a good drink, but I don't think the bros are exactly falling over themselves to try a braggot.

    I guarantee there will be fights later tonight when the music is blasting and the guys are drunk on reaction state end up asking what kind of beer style is a BRAGGOT, they'll mistake it for another word and tears of rage will ensue :slight_frown:

    I really couldn't finish Irridium. It's cloyingly, syrupy sweet. I thought the first sip was interesting and it's certainly "jammy," but the more I had the more it felt medicinal and sickly. I've liked everything else I've tried this week, but this one was not for me.

    the 1:15-2:30 range is that sweet spot. I mean, parking is still going to suck no matter what, but wow, the crowds were chill at that time. Really dug Irridium, was tasting a lot better than at Huna. I can only imagine with a few more months in barrels what it'll do.

    No lines outside but lines inside are hitting to the security checkpoint inside right now. Iridium is really a different beer that I did not expect at all. Sweet honey and just enough barrel that I'm impressed where this will go.

    I second that. Here at 7:30pm and the stasis line is out the door to the entrance fence.

    Just don't go at opening. Basically the moment folks state a sweet spot, then it's giving trade secrets, man.
