Is there even going to be a bottle release?
It doesn't seem like there will be bottles. I kind of prefer that honestly. I'd rather good beer on draft and a hopefully smaller crowd.
Is there even going to be a bottle release?

I'm guessing someone just messed up dates. So bottles to go now, eh.
I'm gonna head over there and have a late breakfast/brunch then nerd it out in line. Sounds like it will be fun. Maybe it will rain so fewer people will show up. I'm greedy !I might go later in the afternoon around 3-4, but no way in hell in trying to get in around 1 when they open up.

I'll probably head up super early. I'd love to get some curious #2. I live an hour and a half away, so I don't want to drive all the way up there and strike out.

Come on RayP come hang out with us!!How early is super early?
For what it's worth I have no patience and am anti-lines for anything. A 30 minute wait for anything beer related sky rockets my blood pressure. And there is no way getting there are 12:30 is going to put you near the front of the line.
The more I think about it, the more I think I'm just not going to bother at all. The things I'd want to drink will be long gone by then, don't want/need any of those bottles that badly, and the things that will likely be left I've already had.
I don't think rain will scare that many people off, not the ones that were going to be there super early anyways.
Honestly, I want the draft list/glass more than the bottles. I'll probably get there around 10. Fwiw, I hate lines and really even chasing beers in general- I haven't gone to any bottle shops for limited release beers in probably 2 years now. I go to my local shop and if they have it- great... If not, whatever and I will drink whatever else they have. That being said, I think big showings at events like this really help push the cause for future (which next year will be huge) changes in our archaic laws.How early is super early?

*36 oz. Do you even SB63 bro?![]()
10? Jeebus.
3 hour wait in line to sample 32oz of beer lol. Never.
Have I mentioned I hate lines yet?
I plan on getting to Athens around 10 and turning up in the wahizzle for breakfast. Gotta slow the absorption rate lol !Honestly, I want the draft list/glass more than the bottles.

Man do your guys' laws suck, and I thought South Carolina was bad. Think I'm going to pass and either hit up The Veil opening in Richmond or just stay home. I don't even care about the bottles, for 4 hours of driving (each way) to drink 32 oz of beer is not happening.
3 hour wait in line to sample 32oz of beer lol. Never.
Yeah I could do about an hour. I mean, I used to go to Jester King a lot lol. At least you got to drink Atrial and such on tap while you waited. 3+ seems silly. I hope most people aren't that ******* eager to go do nothing on a Saturday.
