    Most beer nerds lack the balls it takes to do that someone send me a puc. I got no problem being the dude to embarrass him in front of everyone. It would be my pleasure in fact.

    how many people are getting multiple tickets? how are people confirming this?

    is it more telephone game shit? over-reporting of one or two instances where people believe they are seeing something that may not actually have happened?

    reading this thread i'm going to guess there were about 185 people in line that grabbed all 750 tickets.

    All I know is that while there was still some order to the line, the group of guys by me where joking about giving them the correct ticket for their place in line. Been up all night for work so it prob annoyed me more than it should have but I'm betting people made the long haul out there only to get shut out.

    You'll probably be in the 200-300 range. I can't imagine for than 500 by 8am. But who knows???

    I don't know man, I would guess that given how early people got there today on a work day, they will be lined up even earlier tomorrow, given how today went and the fact that people going to the great taste will hit that up first.

    The only important info for today:
    What time was ticket 750 handed out? (9:15-ish if I remember correctly)
    and
    Was there anyone with a ticket who did not get their allotment?

    The answer to the first question will determine whether people start bumping up their arrival times tomorrow. I would guess that 7:00 is when the line will really take off.

    The answer to the second question will determine if the line will hit 750 by 8:15 or 7:15.

    Bottom line- it's going to be a beautiful day. Why not get up early, get your two bottles, and still have time for a late morning nap.

    Everyone will be hungover from all the great events in Madison tonight. There are some amazing beers being poured tonight.

    Yeah- it's hard to choose. We're actually starting at Tyranena aroudn 6:30, then probably a little dinner, then maybe hit K4 @ 10, when everyone and their Uncles are trying to get into Dexter's. As much as I'd like to try Mornin' Delight, I'm not sure I am going to brave that storm.

    Gr
    Great points. Making a 3 hour drive. Hoping NOT to have to leave before 5 AM.

    You probably should, especially because you're going to invest in the drive. 4am for a 7am arrival? Maybe bring a driving partner who can double as a beer partner?

    Per a brewery staff member (based on past history) they expect tomorrow to be the least busy today due to just how many people are going to the taste. Sounded like Friday is typically marginally more busy than Sunday due to all the hung over people.

    I like how there are two different listings for the wild peach, and created by the same person. Way to be on top of it @ThatsThatDude :rolling_eyes:
