    Vanilla most likely. Always a chance for BA as well. And you never know when a new variant will popup.

    Can anyone comment on how the week will go? I'm assuming with the tiered release times, they will be open to the public throughout? My wife and I have tickets to the 4-9 pickup on Saturday, but was hoping we'd be able to drop in anytime after open to have a few drinks while we wait?

    Thanks!

    It will probably be pretty crowded right at opening. I'd say an hour or two before your pickup time you would be fine.

    How does the extra limited bottles work? Is it the same line as pick-up? Can I buy more bottles when I get to the front of the line or would I have to go back into line to get any extras?

    I really doubt the extra bottles will be sold in the pick-up line. Most likely done at open on whatever day(s) they have them available to sell (this is how its been done in the past at least)

    I'll be there Saturday at some time

    I don't know the specifics of the bottle sales of the Abraxas package pickups yet, but you can be sure they will keep the package pickup as far away from the individual Coffee Abraxas (Thursday) and Abraxas (Saturday) sales as they can. Advice would be to get in the individual bottle line, get your beer, then pickup your package.

    Perennial will be open 4-10 Tuesday - Friday, and noon until 10 Saturday for regular business. As was previously pointed out open Thursday and Saturday will be extremely busy.

    So if I don't have a ticket I can still potentially get some Abraxas if I show up?

    If you didn't get a ticket, you can still pickup bottles on Saturday at noon. If that is your plan, I would suggest getting there early.

    Thoughts on how early someone should get there in order to have a shot at getting a bottle on either Thursday or Saturday? Is 1-2 hours early enough?

    I'd think as long as you get there by the time sales start, you'll get some

    Got it, thanks for the reply. Is it going to be a 1 bottle minimum for the drop-ins, then?

    I would think so.

    Does any one at the Chicagoland knows if abraxas might be for sale at the binnys stores? Living at the south suburbs make it really hard to find any special release unless is being distributed by a big store. Any feedback appreciated. Cheers!

    So if I'm in STL this week, any chance I can grab a bottle or try on tap?
