    Pretty decent crowd. Hard to say with the tickets but probably 30-40 people so far

    Here is my gripe: if you are going to post on Twitter that there is no longer a bottle line and that people should come down to buy bottles at least have enough bottles to last 10 minutes.

    Which event were you at ? I thought Green Man did a fantastic job and everyone seemed to have a great time!

    Blame Green Man
    Nah, did you go to the Monstro release? This was a cake walk in comparison.

    I would say Green Man other brewers should start taking note about the popularity of their limited beers, and do a better job about releases. They changed bottle limits no less than 3 times in 90 minutes, let people go through the line multiple times, then didnt even follow through with the tickets they handed out.

    I'm not blaming anyone, I'm just surprised it sold out that fast. Friend managed to get me a bottle, so I'm happy.

    I heard they were stopping people from being able to get back in line for more of the sours.

    I do agree that they shouldn't have changed the bottle limits on the fly. If people drove and got in line for 2 bottles of snozz, Greenman should've sold 2 snozz bottles per person until they sold out.

    Just my opinion.

    Also, the bathroom accommodations were extremely sexist.

    If you were in line and you ended up getting a single bottle instead of none because they changed the limits then you would appreciate the fact that they did this.....At Monstro they had a bigger turnout then expected and they did not change the limits. There were many pissed off and disappointed people as a result. And then the ones at Monstro that got extra were walking the parking lot trying to sell their extras at a ridiculous price. I applaud Green Man for doing this as it only hurts the hoarders......

    As far as the bathrooms they only have one and were proactive in accommodating a large crowd. This will not be an issue when the new addition opens.

    Kudos Green Man for a great day!

    A friend got this "ticket" and walked away with nothing. I don't know about you, but that ain't right. Bottle Releases are pretty much shit shows every time to at least a portion of the people. Breweries need to rethink the premise and move on to something more appropriate for everyone.

    Yeah, no problems here. That new facility looks like it's going to be awesome, I can't wait.

    Can only imagine what would happen if females were told to "Take their Snozz outside."

    I still say if they *advertised* a 2 bottle limit, that means everyone in line gets 2 bottles until its sold out, and if you don't get bottles then you didn't get there early enough. You can't change the rules of the game at halftime.

    The "ticket" was only given out for the customers to use to organize themselves in line. It seemed pretty straightforward to me anyway..... It did not guarantee anyone bottles. These events are always a challenge when you have such a demand for your product.

    Anyone that showed up on time I believe got bottles. I drove by at 4:30 with my daughter in the car to see the turn out and decided to go home instead of having her wait with me. I saw them post on Twitter that the line was gone and bottles were available. I got immediately in the car and drove there. It took me 10 minutes, and by the time I got there the bottles were gone.

    I understand I could have gotten bottles, but what really annoyed me was that I felt they sold me on coming because bottles were available, but they really were not.

    Maybe you needed to look at the time that tweet was posted. They tweeted that at 2:09 and ran out at 5:30.....now you can be annoyed at yourself for not checking this! I bet your daughter can explain this to you....
