Threes Brewing in Brooklyn?

Darn. Still in the coffee shop area

 

Raindropz gone. Frozen ocean close to gone.

 

Double darn

 

Any chance veil going to last

 

Been in line 45 minutes, appears they've now created a 2 can limit. This is a bit of a shitshow

 

Was able to get veil and lic as ~40th person on line
All the real rare stuff was gone however they brought out some cans of doppelgänger about a half hour after opening which the first wave of ppl didn't get to grab

 

Guys, don't kick yourselves. Your girlfriend could have gotten the last can of C31 in front of you, the second time that happened in two days... OR you could have purchased the four ticket maximum and only used three, saving the fourth for a nice long wait on line for options you aren't sure of...

And that person is me.

 

Because you can't share a 16oz can with your girlfriend?

 

Heady kicked. Tree house was gone in the first 50 ppl. Veil gone. Line hasn't ended since they opened.

Im also the idiot who got up there with 4 tickets and only got 2 beers. Ill try Heady topper 1 day...

 

Description of luck over sharing. There was sharing.

Also, no line right now.

 

Seems like you're pretty lucky if you got to have some...

What all is left right now?

 

Not sure what's left, but got here just before 1145 and all veil and treehouse was gone by the time I got to the front of the line.

 

I can't tell you or anyone the menu. What was printed is no longer current, and what is currrent is no longer printed. All I can tell you is nothing is a bad option at this point.

Organization and curation could have used an extra body, but Josh Betnstein knows what he's doing when he coordinates these events.

Doppelgänger replaced C31 and Bright with Citra replaced Green. Post #FirstWorldProblems below.

 

The fact that they're rotating TH cans (doppel and bright) kind of sucks for those of us that were rushed through the line

 

Lesson learned from today -- either show up at 11:30 to get the beers you want or show up at 2 to skip lines and have a good time. In between it's just a source of frustration and waiting in line for over a hour. When I finally got to the front I asked for a Melvin 2x4 and ended up getting the Melvin triple IPA 13% beer. Was fine, but not what I waited a hour in line for ​

 

The line today was minimal, the few people that showed up around 11 AM either hit the coffee shop or returned closer to noon. At 11:30 there were about 20 people in line. The limited beer went fast do to low supply but if you showed up by 11:30 you could still walk away with everything. I would not call that a shit show. But I would suggest ice buckets be made available if I am expected to crack every can at once. Hopefully next Can Jam even more breweries participate.

 

I showed up at 1130 an just missed out on Treehouse, and would have missed out on Veil cans if they didn't happen to find another case. My one recommendation would be that they should have stricter limits next time. Everyone was doubling up on TH cans.

 

I got in line at 12:25, reached the front after 45 minutes, and saw half the list scratched off. Didn't really want anything left but I had two tickets so ended up settling for a Graft Cider and a 16oz can without a label on it. Wasn't even sure she gave me but I asked for one of the Interboros and I was rushed out. Stood around lost for a table or bar space with my two cans, finished them and left shortly after. Wasn't a good first experience at Threes.

Fortunately one of my friends went up to stowe for the weekend to ski and said he picked me up some Alchemist. In hindsight I should've avoided this event and done something else with my time

 

I'm not sure why people bother showing up to an event like this anything other than early. Treehouse/Alchemist/Veil in one spot, in limited quantities...its not gonna last long. Go early to make sure you get some or just don't bother

 

Showed up at 11:45, probably 50th in line. Yes we missed out on Veil and TH Green, but got lucky with the last can of Thirty One and Doppleganger. Those all should have been limited to 2 per but I wouldn't judge Threes on this event alone. Not to mention, the last Can Jam had no line and was super smooth. In posting their menu a day or two out and sharing that all those rare beers would be there, they changed the scope of the event so much. Next time, just keep the menu as a surprise IMHO.
