    My head still hurts from drinking BA goodies for 14+ hours. Great times with great friends!

    Props to line police Dan for having bigger balls than us and calling that dude out who line cut.

    So after being called out, did the guy still stand there?

    He did. Also stood there talking shit with his buddies who then came back to spout off at me as well. He admitted to cutting but stayed right there. He offered to exchange tickets with people that got in line well after him but then vanished when the order sheets came out. Not sure what that would have solved anyway. I felt like dragging him to the back of the line but that would not have solved much either.

    He tried to apologize to me later but he really owed an apology to the 20-30 people he cut in front of. I kinda blew him off at that point because high ABV beers and bullshit drama don't mix very well.

    I now know his BA name and it appears he isn't too active here other than trading. Figured as much.

    Heck yeah he did. I don't think he traded his ticket for the person at the end like he said he would.

    Figures that he would only be into trading on here. Sigh....

    I'm still waiting for that line police badge you promised to make for me.

    It would be nice to know who it is so everyone shuts down trading with him.

    Nice meeting everyone yesterday - big shout outs to Buzze40 and Spartan213 for some great trades. Great beers - BBBW and DRIPA are always highlights. Bruiser pyment was off the chain as well.

    If anyone cares, I was the guy at the corner of the bar with the pizza box and sampling our meads out to whoever. Great time all around - looking forward to St. Paddy's day there!

    There always seems to be a handful of entitled dickheads at every event who come for just bottles!

    Good for you, I've never had this happen to me personally but that's pretty shitty like you say. Especially when there was such less quantity of BBA4D available. On another note about the customer service, I thought it was pretty damned impressive to see Brett manning the cash register pretty much all day long. Every time I went over to check for my beers he had at least 3-4 different people (staff and customers) talking at him and he just calmly tried to take care of everybody the best he could.

    When I paid for my order I thanked him for running a great event, I think they've come up with a great system to allow people to actually enjoy themselves instead of waiting in line all day for beer.

    I had a great time at the event.

    I feel bad for my wife - she was a little disappointed because she ordered 2 brazilian pepper meads that were not in the box. She admits it was her fault for not fully checking everything but she was trying to hurry and not hold up everyone else behind her. And they charged her $18 a piece for them on the receipt but they were supposed to be $15 each.

    Oh well live and learn. It was controlled chaos so mistakes happen.

    We had fun and witnessed the shitty move by the guy who cut in line and thought it was OK.

    Steve and crew were great to hang out with!

    May we will see you guys in the spring!

    Cheers!

    Does anyone know if they have more 2011 BB4D, BBBW, and BA solar bottles for sale?
