    Thanks for the info as I'll be down there in September.
    What are the odds that they have anything available for walk up sales? Is it a possibility or do they generally sell out with the Thursday night presale?
    Thanks

    They had both IPAs Saturday but the glass wasn’t available if that helps. I would imagine something like a glass or bottled stout would sell out quickly but that’s about it.

    Does the Answer have any outdoor seating for drafts/foods? Are they doing any reservations?

    3 new cans dropping tomorrow. Pre-Sale tonight at 8pm. I'll post details about each once the 3rd one is posted on social.

    Yes. They have a deck and pretty sure it's open again. This pic is from last year when it opened so with COVID spacing not sure how many seats they have out there now. No reservations. It's first come, first served.

    I have not certainty of that. Have not been there since all this went down in March. I checked recent Untappd check-ins and noticed people ticking beers with pics from tables on the deck as recently as yesterday / last night.

    The Answer is currently asking for you to fill out and Microsoft Word document with your credit card information to reserve a reservation.

    I can’t stress this enough, no one should send their credit card number through an email.

    Wow! That’s crazy. Even crazier is I’m betting people will do it without any thought.

    you would think they could easy add a reservation option to their website and even reserve a time like other sites do. Like use Resy or something.

    Also as part of yesterday's release, which sounds like they will be doing it again today, all those who pre-ordered were assigned a number and then entered into Duck Races. Winner of each duck race won a Covidman glass as well as Megaman on Yoshi glass. Winners of each ducks race then entered in a final race in which overall winner also took home the Gold Megaman on Yoshi glass.

    I'm generally only interested in 1 glass each year but so far the beer and glass offerings are underwhelming for this go around. I didn't catch the preview teased on the Q&A group some mentioned showed up. 2 Lagers and then a series they've already done a few times with a new hop. Even the Megaman on Yoshi / Gold version and Covidman aren't much to get excited about. This new Hoptone glass I grabbed the style a few years ago at Pottery Barn for about $3. Hoping the final 3 days brings out some surprises. Maybe a canned stout / Andall.

    Tonight's 8pm Pre-Order for pickup tomorrow, 9/24, between 4pm - 7pm. Pre ordering shuts down at 2pm tomorrow or until they sell out. You'll have to check the site when sales open to see the Joose can.
