    Bet it's a 3-4 hour wait if you're at the end of the line Chuck. I'm already muling for 4 people, otherwise I'd get you some.

    Faster than BBIMM, but everyone buying multiple cases. Will it last?

    I severely underestimated this one. Seen plenty of people walking out with 6+ cases. Wow

    And here i was hoping to swing into game haven tomorrow when they open to get at least a 4-pack or 2, I'm probably gonna go home empty handed. I knew i should've brought beers to trade.

    Trying to decide if I want to make the 2 hour 45 minute drive... I'd hate to get shut out.

    The line is moving better than at the start, but with only 800 cases, this one's bigger than they anticipated.

    Anybody out here have any extra room and willing to let a fellow BA hitch a ride back to Grand Rapids area? Took the wife with me at her request and it's likely going to bite me in the ass as she works at 2 in Grand Rapids.

    Might get lucky but we are still by the staircase. Let me know!

    Heard from my local shop that they're getting a few bottles of Hipster Brunch, but I thought they didn't distribute this...anyone know what the deal is? Are they actually distributing?

    A couple hours ago, you could walk in and get drafts, while the rest of your group held your place in line. There is also a secondary line inside for drafts.

    The biggest holdup is they only have a few guys carrying out to vehicles. The guy who carried mine out was really nice and was doing the best he could.

    No release is going to go perfect.

    Nice outfit @joshflashgordon

    Also, big thanks to the guys line behind me who hooked me up with a glass of hipster!!

    What is the current wait time right now for the bottle release and approximately how many cases remain?
