    I feared people might chant, "Ban, ban, ban!"

    lol

    On Topic:
    How is the line going over at Hay Merchant? The pic looked pretty bonkers. I hope the wait isn't too long. I'm sure by the 50th or so person it'd be a long wait.

    The line moved very fast, actually. They had everything set up nicely. Waiting a day was probably a good idea.

    The line went really really quick, 3 bottle limit, $6 a bottle, EVERYONE left happy - They set the example for others to follow.

    LITTLE BIGS is selling it TO GO - $10.95 a bottle, Limit 3.

    Stags Head is selling but not to go (of course) - $10.50 a bottle.

    Six bucks a bottle is a very fair price for something like this... ten bucks a bottle.... not so much... but hey.. it's a free market system!

    I am going to try and get some on Thursday.

    Did it sell out?

    Wow @ Little Bigs! I guess you can't blame them for trying. :slight_smile:

    And I expected Stags Head to be expensive. They are consistently the most expensive place I know of to buy craft beer. I love the place, but sheesh! lol

    Nah after paying $6 for it...I'm not paying $10 or more for it anymore. I'm done chasing to go bottles...I got my personal 3 so I'm happy. Anything after this will be at spots where you can't cart it off.

    LOL @ the fact that those places have 0 lines or hype, people want to go only I guess? lol

    If I didn't have my son yesterday and today, I'd totally have had one at a bar. Unfortunately that wasn't an option. Luckily Petrol is kid friendly enough that he could play with a few other kids while we waited in line.

    That would have failed at Hay Merchant. lol

    HomeField will be selling it tomorrow. Capital Beverage dropped the ball again.

    I haven't heard anything outside of Houston and a handful of places in Austin. Nothing in SA, Dallas or NOLA yet.

    Drink on site, or walk out, Walt? And do you know what the cost will be?

    I assume on-site, because Homefield has a full liquor license.

    Yeah, I saw Walt's avatar, and thought he was posting about Flix getting it. Gonna have to be on site at Home Field. Hmmm.

    Yeah, it will be on premise only.

    I thought about picking it up at Flix but I fear I'd just sit on it. Plus, my understanding, is that they WANTED it to be on premise only.

    I could sell it to go @ Flix as we have a BG permit.

    I know how much the cases cost, but I don't think my bar manager priced it out yet. My guess is that it will be in the $8-$10 range, based on case cost.
