    past few haven't sold put to the line but good cans and warmer weather could mean long lines. sounds like it being Sunday is a deterrent. hope so. I likely can't get up there til can sale start time

    I'd estimate that there's roughly 80-100 people here so far.

    Longest line I've ever seen here, yeah, I came, around the woodbine/scudder corner about 1/3 the way to Main St.

    Doesn't help that this line is moving at a snail's pace.

    they were having some POS issues w credit cards and cards in general are always slow. I didn't see any cutting or shenanigans from where I was. easy in, easy out

    ...and that weather...waiting flew by on this balmy spring February morning

    I had a small taste of the Power of One in the taproom and it was great, I can't wait to try a can later and give it my proper opinion.

    I am drinking a can of Washed Up now and it is freaking fantastic. Smells of papaya and mango. Creamy feel, taste right there with the smell, this is a phenomenal IPA.

    Does anyone know if everyone who was in line got beer or did people get shut out?

    Nobody got shut out since they adjusted the limits down from 4 to 3 four packs each, after counting the line multiple times. You should have made the trip. Of course if you were going to be late, you'd be out of luck since both sold out. Sand City basically made sure that everybody on the original long line got cans.

    Good to know for future releases. I was on the fence and had to be somewhere at 12:15, so may not have worked out anyway. Thanks for info.

    They sold out at 11:45, I saw the last cans get sold. As @NiceBeerCans already pointed out, everyone on line got cans.

    Good on them to lower limits to make sure all got beer.

    People on the front of the line still were able to get the 4 four packs. Most everybody was happy except the line moved very slowly today. Much slower than normal. Only two people handling payments.
