    Sweet man, thanks for the info. I may try to take a drive out in the afternoon then after the silliness has died down.

    Cheers!

    Oh there will be a line, I'm just betting those that line up for this are either crazy or bored (or both) because I don't see 600 people lining up in the burbs (or 300 people lining up twice or whatever). For an adjunct stout, sure. For a delicious IPA, doubtful.

    Ah, but it's not an IPA, it's a HAZY IPA, which changes everything!

    (seriously, the haze craze is getting real around Chicagoland)

    Im going to head up there around noonish and grab a bite along with a pint or three then leave with my 2 four packs. Hopefully the line has died down a bit. Being cash only, the line should move pretty swiftly.

    Last Juicy, I heard that there was some left a few days later and was also shipped out to the wheeling location.

    Cash only!? Shit hadn't heard this. Thanks. I also haven't heard what the cost of each 4 pack is. Anyone know? I agree with showing up later after the initial rush dies down. This should be around most if not all of Saturday.

    Has there even been an official confirmation of the date?? I don't do FB or Instagram so maybe there?

    On the Ram website, they said "a week from now" with the post being on Sept 24th.

    Yup cash only $18/4 Pack tax included with a limit of 2 per person.

    Thanks! $18 per 4pk should also drive down demand. That's steep. RAM isn't stupid. They gain more by driving business into the restaurant than they do just selling out to a line of people as fast as possible and it seems they priced it accordingly.

    The Juicy bombers last time around were $9.99. You are getting 20oz more for $2 less. Well worth it.

    Sorry, no growler fills. Not sure exactly how much will be on tap, yet. So we want to make sure to be able to give everyone pours. We hope to be able to accomodate 500+ (hopefully 600) people with 4 packs, at 2 pp. whatever is left after canning will be on tap. I will for sure have at least one keg on tap though, no matter what. Cheers!

    Similar plan for me - have to do some kids stuff until around 11 in the city and then heading out. I'll be going either by myself or with a buddy of mine (or possibly with the family for lunch, but that's doubtful). It seems crazy to think that 500 4 packs would sell out within a couple hours, but you never do know.

    I'll go because I'm a sucker for hype and I have nothing better to do. I'll probably get there a little early, but I doubt I'll be doing any bottle sharing. I don't have anything "sexy" in my cellar anyways.

    Just to ease your mind a bit more, @shaun_the_brewer said:

    "We hope to be able to accommodate 500+ (hopefully 600) people with 4 packs, at 2 pp"

    so, by my math, thats 1,000 - 1,200 4 packs.

    Cheers

    Thanks for correcting me - I actually did know that...just a typo on my part.

    I may swing by in the afternoon to see if I can grab a 4-pack. Flying solo with my little guy, so not doing any lines. Hoping it lasts!
