    Bernie's already gone. I made a rookie mistake and didn't order them as soon as I got in

    I can't believe they sold 668 bottles of this. They have the count on the bottles. I got there a lil before noon and maybe 20 people in front of me, then had a pour, and left a little before 1 and maybe only 20 more people came in. No way 300 people came in (2 bottle limit). I wonder if they held some for later sales....

    I was there at open and out with bottles 190 and 194 of 668. Couldn't stay for a beverage.
    There was less than 30 people at open. I make no claim of knowing the bottle number order or quantity actually released, just FYI.

    I was there about 12:30pm very short line - got 2 bottles of Bernie and 1 of Smack this. I also got a flight although it seemed pretty slow. Was picking up a little when i left though around 1pm.

    I messaged them yesterday afternoon and they responded that they are out of Bernie. This was around 1pm.

    Well according to 2 people, they were out Saturday at 1. I just wonder if they are holding some for later sales, or if the bottles were marked wrong, or something happened with some of them. I just can't believe over 300 people went in Saturday from noon to 1.

    Is Gummy Apocalypse still being released in cans this Thursday? I swear I saw a posting for it somewhere, but now it's no where to be found.

    I wonder if any of the Gummy cans will eventually see distro in the city?
    I imagine if they are able to sell them all straight from the brewery then I guess not....

    When I talked to a bartender there a few weeks back it sounded like they would not be distributing the Gummy series cans. Reason being they want to be able to control how they are handled and keep them refrigerated because of the live yeast. They were afraid if they distributed they would be sitting out on the floor somewhere and the beer would drop off.

    Each time I've spoken with the bartenders and head brewer, it's been reiterated that the Gummy cans will be a brewery purchase only. Hopefully they've narrowed down a recipe to start canning Gummy batches on a regular basis, so that distro in the future could be a good possibility.
