    anyone have a link to those tickets....hahahahahahaha. Also it looks like they found a way to make sure you dont get to sample the beer before you buy it. Added the counts below, looks like twice as much BAPT5 and it looks like there aren't any cork/cage bottles which were kinda jacked so that's a positive.

    6 pairs of Legs was my favorite thing they had at Summer Beer Fest, really wish the limit was higher.

    i dont know if its that expensive, considering dollar/oz it is about the equivalent to some of the backstage beers from founders or bombers of bourbon county variants.

    most of the changes sound great, but I still can't believe they're letting people buy 2 cases of BA Plead... they could drop it to 1, spread the wealth greatly, and STILL easily sell out (while STILL allowing people to buy an amazing amount of a great beer)...

    Other than that, I like it.

    Still not sure I'll risk coming again though since you will likely need to be there by 6am to get any Plead.... hmmm...

    No need to worry, people like to sleep in and don't usually arrive till Noon or so to this... So just keep this in mind when arriving. K everyone? K

    So, in essence, the 11:00 AM token line has become the 6:00 AM order sheet line...

    [quick math to determine equivalent arrival time]

    ...ruh-roh, that's so early, it's late.

    So Dark Horse's answer to last year's line problem is to start 5 hours earlier.

    I hope my family likes getting empty beer bottles for Christmas. There will be no money left for actual gifts and I'm sure as hell not sharing.

    At least they seem to be serious about enforcing the line this year.
