    thanks. 1st timer here. I'm planning on eating before. what time would you recommend getting there so I can do that and get a seat and stay? or would you recommend early, leave for a bit, and come back for the beers. I live about 90 min away so any input is appreciated.

    For people that have went in years past if I show up around 3:30 solo would I be able to get a seat? Would most of the Cantillion still be on tap besides zwanze?

    I was there till after 3 last year; the only thing left in the later afternoon was Gueuze (in bottles). Besides, more folks might be catching onto Armsby this year

    ...could be wrong though

    Edit:

    Finding a seat should be no problem after 3:30 though

    Won't be able to show up there till a little after one, what are my chances of getting a seat and/or great beer?

    Nobody can possibly know or predict this for you.

    Obviously there's no way to know about the seat but the beer half of your question is easy to answer ...yes. You'll have unlimited access to great beer regardless of what time you show up

    If "unlimited access to great beer" isn't your current slogan, it should be. I'd buy that T-shirt.

    My current slogan is "relax. It's just beer". People losing their minds over these tiny uncontrollable details is frustrating. Zwanze is about celebration and community not about you getting yours. Take a deep breath, go hang out with some like minded peeps and enjoy some good beer. It's pretty easy.

    Thanks for the response. In hindsight, my seating question should not have been asked. I am looking forward to tomorrow and the beer that follows. Thank you Alec, and the entire crew at the Abbey for always providing us with all things great.

    So, anyone there that can report on crowd/line situation? I'm cool to relax with like minded people, but only if I have a beer in hand.

    If anyone can grab an extra Zwanze glass, I'd be happy to try and work something out!

    Congrats to all who could make it/get in to Armsby today! Hoping some of these delicious brews might last into tomorrow so I can have some.
