Voodoo Brewing Barrel Room Collection

And what percentage of those people have any interest in waiting outside in sub-freezing temperatures for 10-11 hours to wait in line? I'd be extremely, EXTREMELY surprised if it's even 50%.

 

On a more important side note. If the line starts earlier than 10 pm...that person(s) is/are not getting any of the Breakfast of Champions Cupcakes that my wife is making to bring down with us. They use Voodoo's Breakfast of Champions obviously and plan to be delicious! (also making Irish Car Bomb cupcakes as well).

 

They don't have TVs in the pub. It is actually quite nice that they don't. People actually have to enjoy in each others conversations instead of blankly staring at TVs.

No offense to you wanting to watch the tournament, but I think it is a nice change that they don't have them as sometimes I find myself staring at TV instead of being engaged with others.

 

sooooooo....wait...how bout we get back to that bottle share real quick? That list looks fucking incredible and I'm curious when we're cracking the first one. Thinking...ideally, would love to arrive, eat, drink a few draft offerings, and then get cracking with the bottle share...thoughts?

 

And may the odds be ever in your favor...

 

I'm thinking the bottle share starts at 12am.

 

So is it just the weather that has people mad at the line starting early or if it were beautiful out, like last year this time, say 65 and Sunny would people still be mad at someone for lining up at 5 pm to sit outside, enjoy the weather and share bottles? Just curious

 

I like that idea.

 

It forces people to have to decide between partaking in the festivities in the brewpub, and waiting inline outside, when there's really no reason everyone can't have both.

 

for me it's the lack of sleep that's bumming me out the most. I'd much rather have a casual Saturday at the brewpub than an all night affair with no sleep.

 

Yes!!!! I have my popcorn ready! Can't wait for the Sat/Sun thread about the shitmess at this release!!!!

 

Yeah...this could be epic.

 

Seriously I have off I am thinking noon why the hell not.?

 

All joking, exaggeration and arguing aside...I refuse to open any of the bottles I bring until after the pub closes. I obviously cant talk everyone into the same behavior but I urge everyone to take it into serious consideration. I think it is disrespectful that anyone would congregate outside during their hours of operation and choose to open/share bottles instead of patronizing the host.

I believe (regardless of what transpires on Saturday) that Voodoo has surpassed my expectations of how to handle a release. Clearly they have taken a lot of time to consider our needs and accomodate us with overnight Port-O-Pots, a tent of sorts to gather under and possibly most important for safety's sake getting the street blocked off.

Now, having said all that. I look forward to a fun time Saturday seeing some old familiar faces and making new friends. If anyone wants to try some of the newest sour creations that Terry Hawbaker has been concocting at Pizza Boy, come say Hi. I will have several yet to be released beers with me as a preview/teaser of sorts.

 

I dont think it's unusual to bottle share at a venue while the venue is still open. I've been to several where the brewery or bar has encouraged people to bring bottles to share while attending an event, not just while waiting for the event to open.

As long as you are not disrespectful to the business that's hosting you and are not disruptive to the other patrons not partaking, everything should be fine. It also helps if you buy some food and take out what you bring in (empties!).

 

I plan on arriving at 4:45pm with a group of 90...we are bringing a cooler or 2 of whalez & a keg of CBC Bodhi & Fat Heads Head Hunter

PS. Hope you and the gang have a good time!!

 

Is it okay for me to take Burger King to McDonalds. Or is it okay if I wear my reeboks when I work at Nike?

 

yes to all of the above

 

Well said!!! I think Voodoo did a great job with providing everyone with every possible detail!

 

I agree with you on this. I hope the bottle share doesn't start until sometime early Saturday morning. Share some beers, buy some beer, eat some food, and end the day with some of the draft offerings sounds like a great Saturday to me.
