    If I am driving by tomorrow with my kids in tow...does anyone know if you can have a pizza dinner with the kids there or is it strictly adults only?

    Kids are welcome for sure. Seating is outside the tap room. Think they even serve soda. Warning that it'll probably be crowded due to the release and folks seeking pours of Donner.

    Got here around 3:30, about 125 people in front of us. First beer camp out for us, this should be interesting...

    Seems like there will be plenty left after the morning line. Ended up being 107, think they handed out about 375 to 400 tickets

    Pretty much the easiest release yet. Was surprised at the low turnout, not sure if that was due to HopJam or the change to no camping out and drinking (though there was still some drinking it line it looked like). We got there early as always and played a bunch of cribbage and the next thing we knew they were handing out tickets. Once they opened the door the line moved more quickly than ever. Not sure why as it looked like the same points of sale. Was back to New Hampshire in plenty of time to head back out and grab a case of Scaled at Trillium and meet friends for a late lunch at Night Shift. Lots of driving but a fun day!

    Thanks...worked out great. Kids had soda and pizza while adults sampled everything (including Dinner, which was great).
