FIB War Room

[JulianC]

GI has said no lining up before 4, but I'm sure I can predict what will/is happening. A line is forming just off their property, maybe down the sidewalk towards Binny's, that they don't have the right to police. At 4pm that line just moves forward to the door.

I'm probably being too optimistic on civilization.

 

[maximthegreat]

I'm guessing tons of people are hanging out; eating and drinking at the bar until 4pm.

 

[JulianC]

Then a Walmart stampede at 3:59.... lulz.

I would actually be down there if I had the time tonight. Love the beer.

 

[BobCobb1]

Estimates on when 400th person gets there?

ETA: taking a bit of a chance here and going with 6:20

 

[jakeox]

I'm about to pick up my kids from school a couple blocks from the brewpub and if the whole neighborhood is full of neckbeards making me late there's going to be hell to pay.*


*I'll totally mutter quietly with my car windows rolled up.

 

[jeblikesbeer]

i'll proly poke my noise in on my way home from work, laugh at the butthurt, grab a beer at goose or if thats crazy at castle vav and be on my way

This played a big part for me joining in the first place. My palate has migrated to a strictly lambic and saison basis, so this type of brewery is exactly what I was hoping for to spring up in our area.

And I'll do my best to rectify the lack of these beers if you want to wait around for half a decade

Having had a few of your beers, I will gladly wait and buy that first membership.

 

[Alum]

Right now I just picture a bunch of guys mulling about the hostess area awkwardly.. checking in with the hostess from time to time about where the line will be.. and then making small talk with all the other guys standing there about how much Dinosmores and Bourbon County they scored..

 

[Treebs]

I'll work at your taproom.

"Chicago is the ******* wurst!" is another freebie.

[zieglemt]

Walked up to this at 3:53. ******* animals

 

[stxSS07]

Once again Chicago proves worthy of all the hatred heaped upon it.

 

[willseph]

And from a source I have in line, he has counted zero people who have brought toys. Nice work, FIBs.

 

[ClCardinal84]

That picture makes the Brettanomite release feel like sitting in a La-Z-Boy.

 

[ApocalypseZombie]

That's surprisingly not as bad as I thought it would be.

count me in for #2 and i'll run the tap room...

 

[Farnsworth]

It's already around the building.

 

[jeblikesbeer]

so... who wants to just go grab a beer with me ether at goose to rustle the jimmys of those in line or at the castle vav?

i dont really feel like standing in that stupid line

 

[JRBecks]

I think I might walk up and down the line ala ticket scalper,,, just mumbling "ISO(pre) FT:$$ let me know" just to rustle up the jimmys

 

[gtx281]

And from a source I have in line, he has counted zero people who have brought toys. Nice work, FIBs.

Of course they haven't. If 5 toys materialize out of all 400 people, I'll be shocked.

The worst.

 

[PHBoiler]

Did those people seriously not bring any toys? They can get to a brewpub on a Wednesday by 4PM just to stand in a line for a few hours in freezing weather, but they couldn't make it to literally any store ever that all sell some sort of toy during the holidays? We make all sorts of jokes about Chicago being the worst, but this really goes beyond jokes. Frankly, this just...Sucks (Thank you Russ).

 

[Farnsworth]

What are the toys for?

 

[JRBecks]

What are the toys for?

tots

 

[Farnsworth]

tots

Oh. Right on.
That's pretty cool, assuming people brought some.

 

[gtx281]

[Alum]

The funny thing is they could have run a literal TRAIN on the toy drive and gotten them to tap everything if everyone woulda brought something..
