    First time Dinner came out, I walked up and got three bottles after work. That's crazy. That is one amazing beer, but not sure I'd wait a couple hours for it like those people in lawn chairs. Good for them, though.

    If anyone going could be so kind as to pick up a couple of Maine Beer Company logo'd taster glasses to help a gal out I'd appreciate it. Will gladly trade beer, paypal / shipping label, work out something. Please just shoot me a BM if you can help out, cheers!

    3 hour wait but got my case! Drink a draft dinner inside as we speak.

    They should have dropped to a case limit earlier. I'm glad it's 4 bottles now so everyone in line can get one. Nothing worse than standing in line for 3 plus hours and leaving empty handed.

    Boo -- I left just after they announced 20 cases left and lowered the limit to 1 case pp because I was ~50th in line. I would have hung around if I knew I could grab a few bottles. Oh well, there's always next time.

    Drinking a Dinner right now. God damn, this beer is fantastic, but I don't think I'll be waiting 2+ hours in line for a beer again. I got my case and I'm happy with that, but I don't think I'll be rushing out to get it the next time it's released, I'll just enjoy it on tap at the brewery for the week or so it'll be on for. I remember the first time this beer got released I was in and out with my 4 bottles in 10 minutes. Now it's just getting impossible.

    Really blows my mind that there are people willing to line up at 7:30am and wait in line. People take beer too seriously.

    If anyone's in Portland tomorrow or Saturday for the fest, let me know if you'd like to trade a bottle or two for some Heady, Hill Farmstead, Trillium, Russian River, Surly, or something else...

    Willing to line up and needing to line up are different. Being there at 7:30 just meant they waited the longest time possible....
