because as much as i may be a beer forum snob, I think Ted likes business more than he cares about schisms in the beer forum community

Realistically, getting on line at 3 or 4 or so will probably be sufficient, no? 200 people is quite a bit in my mind, but after the OH shenanigans which I wasn't involved in I'm not sure what to think at this point. It's a hike to get there but also don't want to be the sap first on line at midnight if I can avoid it..

I hate me too, but I know at least some of you are planning to get on this line, no? If not..

 

[axeman91821]

The first year for Black Friday at Top Hops MKtheGeneral and I got there at 6am, which put us at numbers two and three on line, with the line growing very slowly for a while after we got there. I got to TH at the same time last year and was twelfth on line, with the line growing fairly steadily thereafter. Not really sure what to expect this year.

 

[markgugs]

I spoke to a TH employee and Rare is NOT included in what you get but rather going to be sold at $64.99 in a lottery.

Yo. Gugs just scooped Franch on his home turf.

I hate these types of things.. yet, I for some reason want to go.

 

[MikeG1]

Still a **** ton of 2014 BCBS and BCBBW on shelf by me for $24/4 pack no tax. If anyone is still looking, and doesn't mind heading to Bay Ridge, I'll give you the location. No coffee or vanilla, though.

Come to Vermont and hang out instead. Stay at the farmhouse we rented practically for free and eat Thanksgiving leftovers for 2nd dinner (after Parker Pie for 1st dinner).

price list is as listed above. there's a pre-assembled bag that doesn't include rare but includes the rest of the allocations. everyone is allowed to purchase zero or one bottles of rare until rare is gone. rare is not raffle/lottery only.

Disturbingly, I'm hearing rumors that there are already a few folks on line. I was planning on being one of the early ******** at 3 or 4am, but this is a different level if true..
