    Apologies, I never should have made light of such a serious subject without using the sarcasm tag.

    No. As the line is set up before 6 people walk around sharing bottles. Very easy to just walk up towards the front and stay there.

    Oh okay, so that's how all the line cutting stuff is happening. Bottle sharing should be used for good not evil.

    I know this isn't an original thought but why not just one case each. 642 people could get what they went for and sell the rest in the general store. Not like they'd be losing money or something. Just seems like good business to get your product in more peoples hands rather than send people that traveled and waited in line for it away empty handed because some people just have to hoard the stuff. But then again, I don't know anything.

    It was dark, the lines were staggered amongst picnic tables, tons of tents and bon fires so when some yahoo started the crunch the scramble was a cluster. A group that was 50 behind me was right behind me by the time they handed out tickets. They didn't cut or rush either, I have no idea what happened. It was 5am FIB time and most everyone was mildly drunk.

    It was posted on the sign by the garage door where we turned in orders. On a little sheet of paper.

    I'm really hoping they get all the orders and decide to cut the allotment to 1 case. There is too much awesome beer out to need more than that, unless you are a dick using it for some sort of financial gain.

    Good luck getting your bottles in the time frame posted. It was 11:20 when I got my bottles and I was 4th in line to pick up.

    That's five minutes per order. If my calculations are correct I'll be probably not getting any BBPT5 in about 32 hours.

    Gotcha, I just wasn't sure if you traded beer to swap forms or line "merged" or not srs so I'm glad it's the latter of the three

    I wonder if they will hold orders for people who don't stick around...

    Stay away from the BA donut beer, that is unless you like acetaldehyde. Why do they sell clearly infected beer?

    That sour raspberry matriculated is surprisingly pretty delicious. BB 666 saspirilla is the champ of the day. Templeton old is flat and thin.
