    iPad and the Ticketfly app weren’t working; displaying a 0 tickets available within the first minute. Switched over to my phone and it worked. Thank goodness

    I thought that website was horrible compared to Event Brite, kept crashing, etc. That said, I was still able to grab a ticket for the first weekend as I wanted.

    It’s pretty refreshing how available these tickets were to get. Granted, it’s still selling out within an hour probably, but not within a minute like many of us figured.

    Looks like it took 40 minutes to sellout. Shouldn’t be much complaining among michigan (or FIB) BA’s about not getting a bottle.

    I would feel pretty dumb if I drove 4 hours to Grand Rapids when I could have walked into my local Jewel store for a bottle...hard to tell what the Chicago availability will be like though.

    Nah! It's just a good excuse to head to Founders, visit the tap room and grab Michigan beers along the way. Avoiding the headache of what it will be like in Chicagoland is just a plus. If it's readily available here, that's even better. Will just be able to pick up more of this good brew.

    That was great. The only thing I thought of when I bought the tickets was please God, don't snow

    Asking for a friend. So if he still has a bottle of the 2011 CBS release, and got a tic for this release, can two bottles be called a vertical?

    I wouldn't think so. I wouldn't call having a BC Rare 10 and a BC Rare 15 a vertical either. They are just two separate batches. I guess one was bottled after the other (in BC Rare case so I guess you could make an argument for that one either way) but in CBS's case there was also another batch in 2014-2015 that was never bottled.

    What exactly is preventing ass holes from buying numerous tickets? They must scan driver's licenses like New Glarus?

    It says duplicate names will be voided near the bottom...no refunds too, but I doubt they would enforce that. Sounds like fraud...

    Sadly he may want to drink the fresh bottle and use the '11 to brush his teeth with. All of Founder's Maple beers end up tasting like mint to me after extended aging. I plan on drinking all my CBS within the first year/year and a half. Mine we're all kept in a 50° temp controlled beer fridge fwiw
