    Shhh....And yes I attended last year and it was a much better list. Scored Prop 14 and VR. They also had 12 oz BA PW beers.

    Champagne of beers deserves camping out. But I think I showed up last year above an hour and a half before they opened and was 9 or 10 in line and scored those bigger bottles.

    Not even sure I'll be back in the neighborhood Sat morning in time for this, but curious how this actually works. Obviously some bottles limit one, as they've outlined, but say you want multiple different bottles...is there a cap on what you can purchase in total? E.g. say I wanted to buy one of each of the Jester King, possible?

    I was planning on being there around 9:45.
    I was hoping no one brought attention to the event. Haha

    That was a real shit show. Got there at like 9, took an hour and a half to get some 2013 bcbs and 2014 barley wine.

    Ionno what took so long. Once I got up to the register, it only took me a minute to pick out what I wanted.

    I arrived an hour earlier than I did last year, and I was probably 8 people further back in line this year. I was about 20th in line this morning at 8:30 and they were out of '09 regular bombers, '10 regular, '14 Coffee and '16 Prop when I was able to order. They only had one case of '09 bombers and '16 Prop. The only semi-complaint I have was that they should've done limits of 2 bottles on the vintage 12 ounce bottles to let more people get access to them.

    I feel bad for those at the end of the line, as there couldn't have been much left for them.
