Double Sunshine?

I honestly have no idea. Sounds like it sold out in record time at the Warren Store today.

 

There was a line waiting for the Bevvy delivery to arrive today.

 

Was told the line was 25ish deep and waiting for 60-90 minutes. Rolled in a little after their fb post, no line and plenty of cases left. Can't say what their stock is like now..

 

do these people work?

 

Uhm plenty of people make a living working a schedule that isnt 9-5 m-f, not to mention youre posting on a beer site at 3:55, do you work ?

 

I got in line at Hunger Mountain at 2:30 and was maybe 60th or 70th. Was at least double that by the time they started selling...

As an aside, had Sip of Sunshine and Super Session at 3-Penny and found both to be great (Sip, I thought, was much better than the first version).

 

Late to this thread, but it's perfect. I'm visiting upstate NY from Chicago on July 4/5 for fam deal and was going to sneak out early on Saturday in an attempt to score some Lawson's from the Waitsfield Market. Does anyone know how crazy it is there? Not sure if I can realistically make the drive from Albany and back in 8 hours and still score beer. I read you'r supposed to get a ticket at Mad Taco then go to the market and buy the beer, sounds organized and calm enough. Also, anywhere that has any HF? If anyone wants to trade in person I can go to the ISO forum, but am thinking about bringing some psuedo sue, FFF, etc. with me for a regional swap.

 

Any time Lawson's is at the market, it's crazy. Period. It's never not busy. Plan accordingly
There's the rare bottle of HF that shows up at Hunger Mountain, I last saw Anna there in the Winter. We don't go to HMC often, but it's worth checking out if you're in the area. Surprises await you @ HMC...including striking out.
Where are you staying?

 

Thanks, that is good info. If I leave our place at 10, I should be there about that same time. Crossing my fingers for DS. Eventually, I need to make the longer drive to Hill Farmstead.

 

Curious on how much they had? Everyone in line get some?

 

The guy running the show said he got 8 cased of Double Sunshine, which would mean 96 people got bottles. So I don't think everyone got that but I would guess everyone there at the start got Heady, but I'm not sure.

 

Was this craziness at Hunger Mountain yesterday an anomaly? Was it more of a product of DS being there or is it always nuts like this? Seems HT ran out in 45 minutes. That's can't be normal, can it?

 

This was my first time at Hunger Mountain since March. It lasted around 2 hours that time and there was no real line when I showed up at 3pm. Knew it would be worse this time but maybe someone who is there more often can offer more information.

 

My group got the last 3 bottles of DS. I was around 100th in line. Speaking with the people around us, most everyone by us was there for Heady and had no idea about the Lawsons bottles. Although, they handed out the DS with the Heady, so I believe everyone there just took the DS even though they weren't there for it.

 

How's the town of Warren coping with the ever increasing number of folks lining up the beer? It wouldn't suprise me to see a repeat of the Alchemist's problems.

 

Alchemist was every day the cannery had retail hours.
Beer releases will not shut down the Warren Store.
Cheers

 

Anyone know what Lawson's will have available for the July 5th Farmer's Market, assuming that they're attending?!

 

When the list is available, it will be posted here:

Of course it wouldn't shut down the store, that's not what I said. I was simply wondering if the Thursday Invasion is starting to work on the towns' peoples nerves.

 

News from warren store...on release of DS, Lawson's has put a 2bottle limit p/person, but still 4 for other Lawson's releases. Double sunshine will be 2 per legal adult.

See warren store Facebook page for the deets.
