    I'm not interested in waiting in the line to buy bottles at the taproom, but I wanted to show up around maybe 1-2pm with a couple friends to get lunch and a glass from the tap. Would I have a problem doing this or is there a big wait for the taproom as well?

    You'll be able to get in but probably won't get a table for awhile.

    The taproom is packed at various points throughout everyday and even more so on the weekends. Going in and grabbing a beer will be no problem I'm sure but getting a table will definitely be a challenge. It'll also probably be hard to go in the gift shop because that's where they'll be checking people out for the KBS (to my knowledge).

    At the CBS release they checked people out in a little walk through between the gift shop and the brewery. I'm guessing they'll do the same for KBS.

    Yes but at Better Half sales, they ran us through the store...which was much quicker then CBS...IMO

    I stand corrected. I just figured they wouldn't want to clog up the store with all that traffic.

    It doesnt look half bad in there, I just hope that its on tap throughout the day because I will be in line to buy a case and would love to try it on tap before I leave.

    Anyone know if Better Half will be on tap?

    The word is that they will post the Saturday draft list at some point on Friday on their website.
