That wasn't fun, but I managed to get bottles... I think... EB still having problems reloading, so I can't let them know the proxy info.

Had them in my cart and they vanished. Then it showed Mostra the Great sold out so I had to re-put regular Great in my cart, and then that vanished.

And then Mostra the Great showed up again, and then that vanished again.

Cool.

Samesies. Guess I'll ask my parents to go by the tasting room and see if it's a shitshow.

Kept at it and snagged two bottles of regular. I think the Mostra the Great was screwing me over trying to get through.

I got a bottle of great in my cart if you weren't able to get any? 8 minutes to decide

Perfect, you're set

Yeah, I think this is what kept screwing me over. Managed to secure 3 bottles of regular Great and the better half got a pair. I know it is blasphemy but I only find Great to be just ok...better half loves it though.

On the other side of the beer spectrum, I managed to get the OG A&G mag as well as the new honing this morning. And my BA Cake set came in. I think I am set for the holidays.

EventBrite was having technical issues starting at around 11:30, just unlucky timing that they hadn't fully resolved it when the Great sale started. On an average day, I don't think it would've caused any problems, even with proxies allowed.

I got fairly lucky and in spite of a couple slow loading screens, got my order for 3/1 through. Wouldn't have been crushed if I missed out but glad to get to try it and hook a couple friends up.

You da bes

Anyone there? Worth driving up still?

One of my friends on Untappd just chcked it in a few minutes ago, looks to be available on draft. Not a full confirmation but he's not the type to do false checkins to **** with people.

Broderick just posted a picture of it. So, I would say yes it is on.

Great and Mostra on tap. Mostra bottles gone, still some reg Great though

How is it?

Was going to ask the same thing. Who posts that it’s available on tap without either raving about or completely shutting on it? Tyrsis we’re disappointed

FYI, Telegraph's Big Bad Baer is AMAZING and one of the current sleeper picks at the shop right now. One of my highest scores I've given a beer all year.
