    And I can almost guarantee those additional two bottles will not be consumed by the person but rather traded off or whatever. The 1% (gonna be optimistic here) of craft beer consumers are the absolute worst.

    Is the tap room a complete shit show or will it be possible to sneak in for a quick pour and then head back to work?

    Sad because he could've gotten a cheaper rate with an Uber driver? :slight_smile:
    It's crazy nowadays and sadly I don't see it getting better anytime soon. On the bright side, there are so many good BAs out there that I like to think outnumber the people that do this sort of thing.

    There's a big difference between bringing a spouse/friend/etc than having to pay someone to stand there for you.

    I think it looks like there's a ton, but the cashier isn't as confident

    Line doesn't look bad though. It's at wild goose entrance. Not even around the corner.

    Just heard that about half the line may not get any, so line up at your own risk at this point.

    My buddy is line, and said they just came out and said don't bother waiting. They don't don't have enough.
