    Has Troon ever had a mega line? I'm interested in going but I've got a lot to do today, don't want to add "standing in line for two hours" to the drive time. I know the first can release was a mess but has it ever been super long since? I'd love to just roll up at opening and get some cans for Thanksgiving...

    I do too. I think he realizes that a lot of his patrons are "whale hunters" and traders or whatever. So I'm sure he enjoys keeping them on their toes and getting the beer to people who will drink it (especially with the random week day drops, last minute announcements and the 1-3pp limit)

    Last Saturday I heard reports of 30-60 minutes. I don't think they produced enough beer to be able to get to everyone in a 2 hour line. I think 20-35 minutes is the norm if you get there after opening and they still have cans. Keep in mind they are generally out in 2 hours of doors.

    My only problem with Troon is that the limits should be 1-2 crowlers per person at most. I know limits is an issue anywhere, but I believe they sold out in like an hour or so last Saturday.

    i agree. Today they are doing one that is 1pp, the other (which is 2.5 larger amount of crowlers) is 3 though.

    How much are the crowlers now? I just looked at my bank statement and have a pending charge from troon for 67 dollars...no way it was 67 bucks for just three crowlers! Right?

    Gabber was $13 and Morose was $12.

    They've never been higher than $13 or lower than $12.

    Maybe you're just a very generous tipper.

    I think Tom pressed the 6 instead of the 3 when ringing up the price.

    Contact them, I'm sure they will fix it for you.

    Do they put in the price for each order? I feel like it would be easier and quicker to just have a $12 and $13 button that they can press 1-3x. Cuts down on human error as well.

    Anyone know if Troon is currently selling the 20 oz Willi glasses? I broke mine and live in DC. I emailed Alex to see if they could ship; he's clearly occupied trying to keep you guys from dying of thirst.

    If he is selling them, would anyone be willing to ship to me? I can definitely make it worthwhile. Thanks!
