The NEBCO Lookout Thread

[Lamnic]

1.5 hours also means basically the first 60 people

 

[tehzachatak]

Couldn't agree more, the fact that it's less than 10 bucks a six pack pretty much everywhere is just the icing on the already great cake.

If a line at NEBCO actually exists right now I really, really want to see how long it is. I like FBD but good god is that a big commitment. On the other hand someone over on the CTBeer subreddit posted that he was the last person to get fills and heard Matt say they'd have enough for about an hour and a half's worth of pouring today. So while I'd never wait that long for FBD it might actually be necessary if you wanted to get in on what they'll have available today.

That's fantastic news. Maybe I can reup on Coffee Breath on Wednesday without a huge cluster!

 

[MooltiPass]

Yeah, I'm mildly hopeful Wednesday will be a reasonable crowd because if Coffee Breath makes it until then I may make another trip to refill on it as well. Unless of course they're holding something else weird/rare for then. Which I don't expect to be the case, but since I never expected them to announce a Fuzzy Baby Ducks release I'm through making predictions of any sort when it comes to NEBCO.

 

[primebeer]

About a dozen people in their cars waiting for the line to start forming. Gotta love it.

 

[apatrick17]

Is there any estimate of how many bottles of Blanche were sold yesterday? Like a few others have said, I'd like to swing by tomorrow since FBD will be kicked, if the snow isn't too bad. Hoping Blanche will last into tomorrow.

I'd be there if I wasn't waiting for the damn furnace guy to come.

F'n 12-2 window. How I was supposed to know a month ago that I needed to schedule this around NEBCO

Wow, allegations of line cutting today at NEBCO. Saw it on the NE Craft Beer ISO:FT Facebook.

When the line's like 2 hours long and they've already told you it's kicking before you get to the end... Yuuuup.

Hoping these allegations spill over onto the NEBCO Facebook, where the discussion will no doubt be completely reasonable as always.

NEBCO facebook has been weirdly pleasant since Monday.

 

[Lamnic]

I saw a couple skip the line yesterday. They did it following one of the NEBCO reps, like no one would notice.

The people behind them didn't step up immediately and call them out. I was about 8 behind them... too far to say anything.

P.S. love that this is talkbeer so I can comfortably say I watched craftbrewguy cut the line at OEC on Saturday because he was too far back to get Ex w/raspberries.


EDIT: Did the talkbeer guys moderate the end of my post calling CBG a ******??? I am not longer impressed by this website. Might as well only use BA

From what I read, most of the line cutting were where people held spots for the buddies who showed up later.

For real?

True but I'm anticipating a rash of "Wouldn't it make sense to make more/can it??" comments when FBD kicks today.

 

[chaggy5]

Bout 40+ people in line. Walked in the door right to the register, grabbed 3 bottles and out in less than 2 minutes

This is very tempting. Did you happen to see if CB was still on?

It was as of 5 min ago, growler line is pretty long tho

 

[Senator Spaceman]

Wow, allegations of line cutting today at NEBCO.

This has been a pretty regular occurrence at the last few big releases. An awful lot of cutting was going on at the Weiss Trash event. I think the last Locust release as well. I actually saw the same guy cut the line at both events. On WTC day, he was inside at the counter bragging to his d-bag friends about it.

I'm surprised that nobody ever says anything to these folks.

[DrWangerBanger]

Seriously looking forward to the craft beer bubble popping so that maybe we'll have a chance of less stupid line-cutting shitheads

 

[KindofBlues711]

Can't tell if joke or misunderstanding. There were like 20+ of us at OEC at 10 AM on saturday.

EDIT: Maybe you meant 4 AM.

I was joking. We were at OEC at 4pm.

 

[apatrick17]

Blanche sold out last night, per twittersphere

CBG, that's how it's done. Welcome to TalkBeer. Feel free to defend yourself - open, level-headed discussion is most definitely welcome here.

 

[Gene1]

Others - debating about whether line cutting happened or not is one thing; calling someone an ass is totally unproductive and will be treated as personal attacks.

 

[tehzachatak]

How on earth would a time of a credit card payment have anything to do with whether you cut someone in line, man?

 

[thermic]

For something more on topic. Picked up my first dated Sea Hag six pack. Love that they are doing that now!

 

[lambandtunaphish]

Jesus Christ. Please go away. This is one of maybe 2 places on the internet where it's enjoyable to talk about CT beer. No one cares about your beer community reputation you're making yourself look worse.

Liked for dated Hag cans.
