    I can't speak from experience (only from what I've read), but I would say if you have the time and want to guarantee yourself crowlers, get there at 10:30.

    That's 30k if they sell out. A bit Egregious Philbin in you ask me.

    Think 300 peeps are gonna shell out a hunski? Would be a huge payday for them but I'm not sure if I see the value in it.

    The Veil had trouble selling out their Forever Summer fest at $100/ticket, and that looked way better than this. Plus 150 people inside Aslin sounds really unfomfortable.

    The announcement says 100 tickets per session, not 150, but that still sounds like a lot for the space they have.

    Also, they only have 5 of the beers listed so far, one of which (Jong Bruin Kriek) doesn't get very good ratings. I sure hope they're going to expand on that list before tickets go on sale on Saturday so people aren't dropping $100/ticket blindly.

    i still think $100 for essentially five pints rushed through a three-hour window isn't worth it. i could care less about a t-shirt and sunglasses. i wouldn't want to go alone, so bringing my wife along is $200. The highlight for me would be that coconut & vanilla dipa with Heist.

    Yeah, there's some good stuff there, but not $100 worth of good stuff. And the three hour limit does not help. You might as well go to Snallygaster for that price.

    Heist is killing it, I've been drinking their stuff since the winter, thanks for friends in the Charlotte area sending me crowlers and cans.

    Met the brewer and assistant when they were up brewing with Aslin for that beer, great guys, they'll also be back for the anny party as well.

    57 tickets left...

    Mug club members have early access - when you buy your ticket you can see how many tickets are left
