    Heard today that the bottle count was 3400 and about 1000 give or take were for sale today.

    So glad I went, awesome time. The fresh hop mosaic was great and so was the blueberry mosaic in a cask with coconut and vanilla.

    It is a really good stout. Very good. A little bit of age to knock down some of the barrel characteristic from the rum and let the flavors meld a little bit and I think it'll be a great stout.

    Did anyone else think it took too long to get your bottles? I got there about 1:30 and I think it took about 45 minutes just to get bottles when there just about 25 people in line. Everyone at Indeed was great however!

    It was quite slow. I think part of the problem was the "jewelry store" type set up where only 2 people were allowed in at a time.

    Maybe do a cash line and a credit card line next time.

    I agree, a little on the slower end. I was surprised there was only 1 check out but everyone was super patient and a rather relaxed scence. Nice event by indeed

    That is awesome that everyone that went yesterday and wanted some got some and it is still hitting distro and supposed to be bountiful in kegs so more people will get to try it.

    Overall the event was great, good job Indeed! As for the line, I think a second or third register would have help a lot. Or too bad they couldn't have had people taking payments in line and giving a repciet to pick up the bottles. I am sure they will make tweaks next year to make it smoother.

    It took me only 5 minutes through the line, and a buddy even less than that. I thought they did a great job!

    Didn't buy any bottles but had a great time at the event! Really dig their Oktoberfest.

    Line was initially pretty dang slow...

    But I will take a slow line when a brewery has taken a great brew - and made enough of it for demand.... Anyone in the TC market that wanted a couple bottles could have arrived anywhere from 12-10pm and picked up some...I salute those at Indeed for taking a a brew - proving the concept during the previous year - then producing enough for the masses...

    Kudos Indeed...

    Yeah me and my 3 buds (who don't even like Rum King) were in and out with our (my) bottles in a little under 20 minutes. Blueberry Mosaic was great as was those burgers from BDP.
