My thoughts exactly.To be fair, paying money in advance to reserve something you want entitles you to feel entitled.

Seriously disappoint in no pics of bloodied knuckles and/or faces.
Of course that would imply Florida knows how to fight correctly in the first place.
Can we please get stories about everyone that ate at Peg's on Friday got food poisoning? and their FB page has been taken down? =D
Central Waters had a similar issue, except they didn't sell out. Several of us in line were like "why not just open the bottle sales to ticket holders a couple hours before the party?"With an event that big, the day should be split in half anyway. X hours for bottle pick up and X for the beer fest. I got to have maybe 20 or so pours before I waited in line to be shut out. The line to get bottles felt more like a mosh pit.
Exactly. By the time I got into the event, I had enough time to grab a few pours and jump into the bottle line.Central Waters had a similar issue, except they didn't sell out. Several of us in line were like "why not just open the bottle sales to ticket holders a couple hours before the party?"
That would give people the chance to get bottles, bring them back to their car or hotel, and then come back and enjoy themselves.

Had you followed directions and showed up at 11 like they asked or had everyone ignored the requests of CCB and showed up prior to 11 causing a **** show earlier in the day then I'm sure you'd be pissed off like most people are.Rabble rabble rabble.
**** happens, it is evident that beer people cannot plan events.
I got there at 10:30 because I assumed with 3500 people going that the line would get bad(who would've guessed it did). Got in in under 15 minutes.
So then I'm assuming the obvious course of action here is perpetuate the rumor that CCB burned down and it was TBstoutsNsours fault.
Say what?Had you followed directions and showed up at 11 like they asked or had everyone ignored the requests of CCB and showed up prior to 11 causing a **** show earlier in the day then I'm sure you'd be pissed off like most people are.
jegross2 walked away with 5 cases of DB Huna, EVERYONE should PM for a bottle, he's selling at cost….
Can you please respond to the rumor that you paid for them in nickels causing a major disruption/delay to all lines at the event?Let me stop this rumor before it gets out of hand. It was three cases, and its only cause I tricked raymo out of the third one. Sent a case to Jeff smith, a case to John st Charles and the rest are for trolling

You want me to go ahead and just email you a label, or what?Let me stop this rumor before it gets out of hand. It was three cases, and its only cause I tricked raymo out of the third one. Sent a case to Jeff smith, a case to John st Charles and the rest are for trolling
I'm taking JEGs hat at DLD and selling it on Craigslist.
Driving back to Texas after the madness, which gives me plenty of time to reflect. IMO, there were two major blunders:
- Security. You're holding a ticketed event where you serve alcohol on your property, and there's not a fence around the perimeter? Seriously?! This is all sorts of unacceptable, not to mention a major liability lawsuit waiting to happen. Lack of security led to many of the other problems later that day.
- Selling cases(!) of DBH to the ~50 lucky people who happened to be standing nearby when they went on sale. This needed to be done via a lottery for 1-3 bottles, not a case. The FFF scratch-off ticket system is a good model to emulate.
I personally had a great time drinking some awesome beers with great people. However, had I followed CCB's instructions to arrive "fashionably late", I suspect my experience would've been dramatically different.
Too late....posting it tomorrow
"Extra"? This is Florida, I'm in full-on hoarding mode.Sooooo.......got any extra DBH?
But seriously, I'd happily send you one if I got a case. Unfortunately, I was on the other side of the festival when it went on sale. ~100 other people in line ahead of me when they sold out.Sooooo.......got any extra DBH?
jegross2 is #str8grossin

I'm taking JEGs v-card at DLD and selling it on Craigslist.
Despite having personally had a great time, that had to be biggest fiasco in craft beer history.
Dark Lord 2010 you goddamn n00b
I'll find a place to put you up you son of a *****.I'd love an extended report about that one then!
I'm really disappointed I can't make it to DLD this year, would love to see how it compares with yesterday.
