    How could you believe something so ridiculous? Everyone knows that you have to show your WI ID or be turned away.

    I unscrewed my license plate for the Vintage release as I still have a Montana DL. They let me pass.

    Sure, but it's not impossible to believe that they could *also* take a thumbprint scan at the point of sale either.

    ...and if it's not in the shape of the state of Wisconsin, you're turned away. Those labels aren't an accident!

    Come on guys, if we keep this up we'll just become a lame Wisconsin version of BNSS. We're better than that.

    So taking into account kegs/casks/etc, its looking like around 2,500 bottles per day? i am s#!tty at math though, so feel free to correct me

    38 Bbl * 51 gal/Bbl * 128 oz/gal / 16.9 oz/btl / 3 days / 2 btls/person per day ≈ 2,400 people per day buying 2 bottles each

    Does not account for Angel's Share, but I would guess that's minimal.

    I was thinking Bourbon Barrel, which is actually 53 gallons to the barrel, not 51.

    31 certainly could be the right number.

    31 gallons per barrel puts it at just under 1500 people per day. Remember that they also hold some back to pour at events. I wasn't there, but I thought I heard that they had peach at the great taste last year. I would assume the 31 gallons would be the number to use because that's going to be measured by the brewing equipment and not by how many bourbon barrels it would fill since bbl is a standardized brewing measurement.

    Either way, it sounds like a lot and that makes me really excited.

    So it's sounding like the potential bottle count could be higher than I recall Wild Peach being. Does anybody have a count of what Wild Peach was last year?

    I believe 4500 bottles were given out over the 3 days (1500 per day); don't know how many additional they had for other stuff like GTOM.

    1500 per day, 4500 total, they did have it available during the great taste as well
