    Oh, that makes more sense. The stadium is like a ghost town.

    Guy, you're from Hampsha and you're a Yankees fan? Jeepus fuckin' creepus.

    I'd say that Chicago is hospitable to Northern New Englanders (I've lived here for 8 years) but no one should be hospitable to a Yankees fan from New Hampsha.

    One of my favorite HA beers (possibly my favorite to be honest).

    Very excited for its return.

    That's fine, New Hampshire isn't hospitable to Yankee fans from New Hampshire either...

    So who's lining up tomorrow?

    I plan to swing by early evening if there's anything left. Any updates throughout the day here would be much appreciated.

    Hopefully nobody is lining up unless they really really wanna hit the firkin.

    There were double daisy growlers left Saturday when it came out with no line at all . . . what's the rush to get there and pay more per ounce to get bottles?

    I plan on going in the afternoon to grab bottles and maybe a growler. I'm hoping it doesn't take too long.

    About 27 PPL in line at 10:55am. Looks like this might end up being even worse of a wait than GDDC was...

    Appreciate the updates, even though I was hoping for smaller crowds. I'll have to wait and see if the lines are more palatable mid to late afternoon.

    HA mentioned more BHA is hitting distro than did GDDC so if you had luck getting GDDC at your local package store, chances are good to get BHA there too.

    In line shortly before 11, in the store shortly after 12 and out the door at 12:15. Line is no longer wrapped around the corner. Good luck everyone!

    That poor kid doesn't have a chance. Gonna grow up to be a line jumper and a hoarder; it's in his blood...

    Stopped in just after 3 to get my bottles and a growler, and was out within 5 minutes - it was really just waiting for the growler. They said it was the slowest they'd been all day and expect it to pick back up. There was still plenty available.
