OKC Prairie release shit show

I got in line at 3:30 and was at the end of the Barking Lot (Prairie side alley) by the dumpster. I'm guessing I was somewhere around 150-175. I didn't notice much line cutting in our area. The storm around 8 am caused some issues with people running for the big tents for some cover. I think that caused many people to get out of order but nothing too serious that I saw. I was surprised by the people that showed up at after 7 am and got in line. Did that many people not know about about how many allotments were available? There was plenty of info online about what to expect and when people were getting in line. It would be nice if they did some kind of ticketing or numbering in the future.

 

It saddens a Prairie fan.

 

You can certainly blame line cutters and their actions, but the brewery has some responsibility to create a sensible environment, which probably includes tickets to ensure that you have to be in line and proper line updates. It's just good business.

 

Little late to the discussion, I know - but @Techichi is on point!

I stopped chasing Prairie beers in like, 2015 when they started price-gauging and everything by them started tasting the same.
