As of like 15 minutes ago, Sac and Napa were sold out and Berkeley only had 4 cases of Fog left so it's pretty safe to assume that cans are gone everywhere.
 
I just got to Berkeley if anyone wants a beer

Hour and half wait for fills. Nope.

Just have a beer and go enjoy the cans I got from Oaklandtraders instead.

I look forward to my next trip here when I am one of 4 people in here.
When's the last time you've been one of 4 at Berkeley? That place has gotten packed, even when I've went midday on Fridays.

I am normally here at opening or close to it any day Mon_ Fri.

Perfect for me, no one around.
 
Mon-Thurs midday are never bad (knock on wood). Weekends have been increasingly more busy.

Thoughts on today's release: more than 50% people it seemed weren't even interested in the same beers for growler. Around the same amount just realized same beers available for crowlers which made fills a crazy wait.

Long story short: I've seen better boards at the brewery with no wait for fills, for dayyyyys. One day of .rar cans = madhouse, which is great for the company. Cans = the devil.
 
So tired of the "well I'll be" defense. If you know how to brew a hazy IPA and how to rent a mobile canning line then you know how that story ends too. Love you fieldwork but I'm not buyin it.
A certain "coldstorageus" seemed a touch salty on their Instagram about the limits :p

Sending 100 cans each to Napa was a joke.
I seem to recall you are said to be a joke hehe

Yeah coldstorage was taken! Sucks! ;)

I don't think I was overly salty, at least not by "kill them where they sleep" social media standards. Good conduct sold out about 4 ppl in front of me in line after a 2+ hr wait which was...frustrating. And the line cutting was so numerous and blatant there was absolutely no policing it. Would've been like 1 against 50. I did better than people who went to Napa or Sac and waited for hours for nothing... and an acquaintance did sell me a single can of GC so I guess all's well that ends well. But c'mon man, there was no reason for them to do 12/12/6.

The lesson to learn from this is to **** waiting in lines. Learned that from a beat release a few years ago and holy **** does it make drinking beer better.

My brother lives in Napa, so I asked him to grab me some cans if it wasn't too crazy, sounds like they didn't release **** up there though. He said maybe twenty people actually were able to buy cans and they were out by 11:10.
 
No argument here really except they are getting harder and harder to avoid these days. If they don't have a club they will have a line.

I'll admit i'm madder at myself than I am at FW. Slow learner, it seems.

Edit: Napa got 100 cans of pulp and still did the 12pp limit. It sold out for the first 9 ppl in line. C'mon. Any other brewery that set a limit that was 12% of the entire available stock would be getting crucified. I'm actually surprised how mild the frustration was today on this one. FW has seriously banked that goodwill...!

I think the fact that they had all 3 beers available on tap as well as in crowlers to go helped easy some of the frustration.

They also had all 3 beers on tap and togo all weekend. No line.

Also on Alex Tweet's IG he hinted at the next can release date would be 12/24/16. Christmas Eve on a Saturday.

Get there early...lol....
