    So sad, would be willing to drive over for this, but have to do my daughters graduation party. Hmm or maybe my priorities are wrong.......

    If somebody could snag me a bottle I'd appreciate it. I'd do it myself but I'm in Africa until Octoberish. Willing to paypal or something.

    Lol sorry, that was a joke.

    "bout tree-fiddy" is kind of an interweb slang thrown around when numbers are involved.

    @AndrewNations Is there going to be a separate bottle line for this event to keep the tap room line freed up for faster pours? I anticipate a lot of folks showing up for this release, and hope the drink line and bottle line are separate to prevent the *hit show factor.

    @AndrewNations is that 1000 bottles total or 1000 available at the brewery on May 9th?

    Yes, BAOMJ sales will be isolated from normal tasting room operations.

    Hats off to the Great Raft staff on a very organized bottle release. Nothing unpleasant about any parts of the release, especially with the large number of people that turned out. Keep up the great work, keep turning out these great bottles. How close did you guys come to selling out @AndrewNations ?

    Yes, all markets will see BAOMJ draft and bottles. We have a dozen or so cases left here at the brewery as well.

    Ok! Why not keep y'all's "bigger" beers in house/brewery release only? Just curious

    No doubt!! It's a shame that south Louisiana seems to be able to get all the great raft stuff, and we can't even get ghost in the machine and things like that here

    Loved the BAOMJ. Great raft did an awesome job with it. Would be nice if a special release like this stayed local. Screw New Orleans. They get whatever they want. We should keep this one to the locals that support the brewery.

    Is Great Raft in Baton Rouge? I have only seen it on one shelf at one store, and it was only like 6- six packs of reasonably corrupt and 6- six packs of Southern Drawl. That being said, every time I am in Shreveport, I buy like 5 six packs of commotion so I can stock up. Love that stuff.
