    I'm assuming they will only sell this at the brewery, right?

    I think that was just last time for San Diego Beer Week. This release falls more inline with San Francisco Beer Week, so I am guessing they will see a few kegs.

    Has been 6 Bottles in the past, I am sure it will be 6 Bottles again.

    Damn. Don't know if I can justify a 8-9 hour round trip for 6 bottles. Maybe I can get 3 friends to go with. Thanks for the info man.

    I'm sure there will be limits again. Just like the last few releases. Probably no growler fills and a limit of 6 bottles per person per day. Like last time they had a certain number of bottles to sell each day. Once gone for that day, thats it. Until the next day. Just pint fills at the brewery after that. I think this seems to work the best so far.
    What to do? Kern River Citra trip or Russian River Younger trip? Or both?

    Worth it! For now. Carpool with some friends or BA's here and it's worth it. Camp over night and hang out for two days. Might be a bit cold in Feb.

    I am doing Both. Should be awesome.
    No it isn't a Camp out. I get there the day of an hour and a half before release and am usually half way 60 out of 120.

    Naw, not a campout deal. Last couple of releases, the earliest arrivals came about 7-8 am for an 11 am (I think) opening. Then you drink your fill of Citras on tap at KRBC and save your bottles in order to taunt your friends with them (true beer advocacy).

    Last release we stayed overnight at a lodge next door. Downed at least 10 Citras that day/night - Jeezthus they went down smooth and tasty!

    Thats totally something I would do. Lmfao!!

    I actually want some for myself and I gotta ship 1 out to a new trading partner who grabbed me a BB GBS as an extra!! Blew my mind. Lol. Already going to the Expo release at Alpine. So hopefully I can do both!!

    If your dad is also your wife you need to report to Maury Povich immediately.
