    Which parking lot entrance did you use? The normal entrance? Or the one further up the hill?

    I think the lot up the hill is totally full. People are parking down the street in the grass somewhere. You can probably park at the gas station on 69 the line should be pretty close by now

    At the moment,line is longer than yesterday line by about 20 mins or so (assuming spacing the same). Not loads longer but incoming pace of cars is expectedly quicker.

    In line at 825, driving g off at 830 with nobody in line. Should be some left for a bit. Sooo efficient, can't believe it. Bring cash, even easier.

    Was thinking about going up later today, but seems like they'll be gone early, unlike yesterday. Any updates would be appreciated!

    Still a lot left as of right now. Unsure of bottle count, but a large amount is left at the handout area. Line was moving when I arrived at 8:15 and I had my bottles in hand by 8:30.

    Yeah I'd be quite surprised if it lasted longer than yesterday. What was it 1:30-2 or so? My wild ass guess is 12-1ish but who knows. It doesn't help any that the temptation to go back in line is too much for some people. Saw a girl with an itchy back of her right hand. Mosquitos must be bad around the brewery.

    New Glarus just updated their Instagram and they are expecting to be out by lunch time.

    Ha ha. Yeah, I heard 1:30-2 yesterday, but wasn't sure. I was there, but had to leave around 9:30 to get some work done. I didn't see any double line people, but I could imagine. Seemed like it would have been fairly easy to do. I felt the temptation too, since the mark on my hand was VERY small and faint to begin with. But, such a lame move, not only to the people who want the beer, but to such cool people (Dan/Deb, NG in general). There's no way I could do that.

    Thanks for the update! Going to look at the upside. I'm not spending 5 hours in a car today! Ha ha.

    Parked at 940. Back in car at 945. Lunchtime sounds about right. Decent number of people there but quite a bit left too.

    Still for sale. No idea how many left, but they're still selling.

    bottle count must be higher for this than peach. Facebook said they've served over 1000 people today and there are still bottles. So maybe 6,000 bottles total?

    Wisconsin really does have the best beer events. New Glarus and Central Waters have run some of the best events that I have been to.

    They also may not have released as many yesterday as they've got for today/tomorrow.

    True that! Central Waters 17 was so incredibly well run. It took like 3 minutes to get my allotment. The beer line portion of my brain was very confused, and somewhat disappointed.
