Side Project (2018)

Cool, thanks for the advice guys! Hopefully I'll get there in time for the share!

 

No reason to get there before 930 or 10 ish. We are planning on showing up around 10. No need to get blasted at 8am on a saturday morning. Honestly I have no idea how some people drive after these things.

 

You can't drink all day if you don't start early!

 

Cory said somewhere (can't remember where) that this will be the largest fruited release to date, and if I remember correctly, Punchdown was pretty large.

I want to appeal to the sane, which isn't many at these releases, to just show up at 10, have a few beers, don't get trashed, don't trash the property, and enjoy the release.

 

Wish I could attend this one...these releases are the best. So many great people( minus the paid mules) If you've never been 10 is a good bet to enjoy the share

Yea and Punchdown was like 4pp. Everybody just camlm down and like @boilermakerbrew said have a couple of beers but respect the property and everyone around. No need to get blacked out. The 4 Hnads anivirsary was a shit show because of people drinking at 6am till noon when doors opened.

 

Did Punchdown last until Sunday?

 

No release ever lasts more than 1 day unless it's being sold out of the Cellar to go i.e. the last batch of Biere du Pays

 

They aren't even open on Sunday

 

No. They will allow people to get back inline if there is that much left over. This is just what I have notived and could be way off but I look at it like this.

If you count the line 30min before it drops and you have 300 ppl inline and a 1000 bottles there will be a limit of two. With options to go back through. That covers the posibility of 200 more people showing up in the last 30 minuts and some repeats.

If you count the line 30min before it drops and you have 450 ppl in line and 1000 bottles there will be a limit of 2 with no options to go back through. You still give everyone there 2 bottles and cover any last minute stragglers.

Again just my opinion on what I have observerd. Im sure cory has his own method that I dont claim any insight on.

 

Anyone have an estimate on how quickly the line moves once they start selling bottles? If I show up at 11:30 or so, will I be in line for a few more hours or does it move pretty quick?

 

I know you're going to send me one of your bottles right??

Still debating on going. It's a 2+ hour drive for me to get there. I thought you already had a hook up, anyway?

 

The line moves very quickly. They know how handle things.

 

Just because I know this thread.....

3pp @ $20ea. No marking of hands, but the line was the longest I have seen, I'm guessing ~500-600, maybe even more.

 

Friend I spoke with on the way out said 720. Insane.

 

720ish is what I heard and 3 times through the line isn't a problem

 

Balaton bottle count over 3,000?

 

Doubt anyone knows for sure (does he share that info?). But with some basic math it sounds like it or close to.
