Kane Brewing (May 2017)

Line is longer that the release of Fifth & leftover bottles on Antead. Extends well around building and around front parking lot..

Even saw tents up

 

Besides MB, what else is available in terms of cans and bottles?

 

Yikes. The FOMO is real with this one. Early crew like that typically equals a day of sell out. Even still, with that yield, there should be bottles available during middle part of retail opening.

 

I'll be there around 2. If there's any left, hurray. If not, I'll have a beer.

 

If this sells out before 2pm I'd be beyond shocked. I'm pretty sure Kane couldn't even physically move the bottles that fast.

 

Still haven't posted tap list / other availabilities. *grabs pitchfork and a rain jacket*

 

Line is enormous

 

Morning bell not on tap-
Inside also packed too..

Was gonna get a pour and wait it out but after seeing what's left I don't think it will last much past 2

 

Wow, this is totally crazy just for morning bell. Dont get me wrong, the beer is great but for this kind of line? I'm only a half hour drive from Kane but I think I'd rather stay home to avoid the madness.

 

I'm thankful for the updates you guys are providing. I'd rather avoid the parking situation and how packed it is.

 

From Instagram it says 20 cases left.

As per my brother. "Not too bad. 10 minute wait."

There is also a guy on Instagram offering $25 a bottle if you deliver it to Lavalette

 

Sold out according to social media

 

I'm at Kane. It sold out.

 

Wait another 10 minutes and the parking lot should be clear

 

I was wrong.

 

i got there around 11:10 was number 63 when the guy checked my ID... was easy 100 behind me.. when i left at 1:00 ish it was packed and easy another 125 still in line... i think for sunday brunch they had 4k bottles at a casee per thats 333 cases... i'd imagine they had like 350/375 cases and a lot of people buying full allotments.. though yield was big so was limits... 450 probably got bottles from 12-2:30... TH moves through 450 allotments in about the same point in time

i guess people don't think people will max but people generally max.. waiting in the rain and cold made people probably decide to max out even more.. spreading my bottles around and trading some etc. keeping some for myself... love MB.. def one of the beers i look forward to most each year the past 3/4 years

 

Showed up today at noon and decided to go into the taproom and drink Sunday brunch instead of waiting in a 400+ person line (Kane employees said 400ish in line at open). Got a bunch of pours, waited for the line to mellow out a bit, and left with a case. Can't understand why people waited over an hour and a half outside in a fucking monsoon

 

Beer karma and the Beer Gods are no joke. Showed up at 2:30... sold out. Walk inside, there's a line 30 people deep for pours! Decided I'm too old for this , walk out... see a friend who had bought a case and gave me 1. I actually got a bottle but no pours. Still not disappointed.

 

12 bottles is a lot of any beer. And when grandma is with you, 24 is a shit ton. But clearly they all find a home. Continues to surprise just how elite a level Kane is at and what fervor that inspires in people.

 

As an out-of-stater, gotta ask - what's the deal? It's a coffee milk stout with good-but-not-great ratings on most beer websites selling out with a case limit in a couple hours. Is the beer that good or is the Kane crowd just obsessive/trader heavy or what?
