    My email came through in like 3 or 4 mins. I have it already. You should too, I would imagine.

    No, I would. Because it was stupid usage of it.

    You first say something that is actually somewhat accurate, then say something completely misleading, and not remotely close to the truth, using hyperbole. Yeah... stupid usage. No offense.

    Moving on.

    Slightly disappointed that Discount Code stoutember2019 only saved ~$10.

    Confirmation came through literally right after I posted. It said on the info page that there could be delays, so I wasn't really worried. But glad its confirmed now.

    I’m so mad - I was counting on this release to be a disaster to distract me from impeachment hearings. Thanks for nothing, internets!

    I guess it falls on me to create meaningful, constructive, and philosophical discussion:

    With the switch to cans, what’s the percentage chance somebody shotguns one of these badboys?

    In people's defense, Benthic releases are always a shit show, and online releases (the ones I care about, at least) tend to be pretty bad too.

    I wonder if they just made a ton, or if the various options "split the vote."

    Yeah, Option C seemed to sell out in 4-5 minutes or so.

    Anyone know if there are supposed to be other one-off variants at the pick-up party, or it just the variants that were offered in cans?

    Was also seeking to enjoy some bitching. FB seems quiet as well.

    It was mentioned 'draft only stout variants' in their release details so I suspect the former. Sure they will post further details in the coming days.

    Going to smaller size (16oz) means more allocations.

    I think this might have been the most ideal release I can remember.

    If you cared enough to be on-line at 10am, you got what you wanted. No waiting in the cold. No issues with the ticketing company letting you select tickets & then kicking you out.

    Bravo, Half Acre!

    I mean, I'll go:

    I didn't know about the code and was frantically putting my info in, so I missed out on some savings!
    True, but I'd think the online thing would mean more people trying to get it.
    Agreed, but that doesn't make for interesting conversation here!

    That would be too easy. Let's wait to judge after the "Due to a ticketing company error ticket sales were not properly closed as inventory became unavailable" email goes out..:wink:

    Apologies, I was just being a smart/dumbarse there. Riffing off the fact there are so many stout releases this month. Code was wishful thinking on my part.

    Excited to finally try these damn variants. Benthic's been one of my faves since it first hit, so this should be a good year of extra calories...
