    I tried this beer at BUG and it won the night for me ... I might have to come to this release just for a bottle of it. Have to see how my Saturday goes.

    Sitting at the bar as we speak. Tent is up. Blackboard says all the Quiet Giant variants will be on tap for $5 for 6 ounces. They say that with the bottle count of around 1000, they're expecting the limit to be two bottles per person, but that is just a guess.

    I'm here - crazy line already. If any of you are around say hi - I feel pretty safe saying I'm the only guy in a Joel Embiid shirsey here.

    Many, many more people than last year. Sure, the weather is 100% better, but this is a much bigger crowd than I expected.

    Still, with the bottle count, I don't see people getting shut out if they keep the limit two.

    Limit is 2, line is moving fast and more importantly the Vanilla/Cinnamon and Maple are fantastic.

    I have a seat right next to the bottle sale. The line is almost to the end and there's maybe 50 bottles left. I'm sure that enough people will figure that out that they'll be gone in the next five minutes or so.
