    yeah, I suppose that's true - didn't know that's how he did it. That is more shitty for sure. Sad days in beer.

    Damn that sucks, but once sold, what can the brewery do?

    That's a lot of cash on 1 beer tho!

    Edit: never mind question was answered

    There was only 15 people in line at 8am(a big surprise) .
    I expected there was going to be 100 people by that time. I guess people in paso sleep in.

    At least FW may run a proper release in the future.

    my thoughts on this , don,t be a dick by buying 50 bottles , everyone must have a chance for at least to buy and drink that nice product, and if you have a few and you want a trade or someone else wants it in a trade then make youre choice butt selling it for a higher price is a damn shame ( and others thoughts butt i wont write that )

    Yeah, I got there at 10am (an hour before open), and rung out with my bottles from the single cash register at 1pm. The slow line sucked, and especially the uncertainty about whether there'd be bottles by the time I made it to the front, but it all worked out. And having had one bottle already, I'd wait three hours again in a heartbeat.

    Of course it's none of anyone else's business how people spend their time. But nothing is funnier than people camped out in a shanty town for beer, concert tickets, or whatever getting rained on. Snow would be even better.

    Didn't feel like begging for BCBS variants. I drove for a total six hours to get four beers. After waiting three hours in line, I grabbed a glass and some lunch. The beer was even better than I was hoping for. The food was very good as well. Pretty sure I tried it at FWIBF. This is the kind of beer u wish u had a case of, so you wouldn't have to over think about opening a bottle. Happy to have them so I can share with friends. (Especially since I know they won't have any).

    I stopped in yesterday but all sold out. I believe they had some left on tap, though.

    There was a major douchebag that got 54 bottles and then was trying to sell them on FB for $80 EACH. As you can imagine, shit got crazy really fast and he was booted from the group and reported to FW. I wonder if it was the same guy?

    Fill me in on this story as I've seen it referenced a few times. How can 1 guy get 54 bottles when it was limit 4? Mules?
