Anyone going? They just raised the limit to 6 per person, per variant.
I should be there!I should be there.
We plan to head up early then go to Mekong. Hit me up if you will be at either, I think we met last year at the RRBS?will be there at some point in the day
Haha, it was a long day. I'm sure people are pretty upset after that wait. I was in line from 12 to almost 5 and got shut out on Kentucky Christmas with maybe 30-40 people ahead of me. It's not a huge deal, although that was my favorite of the two on draft. I got Mekong, so that was worth the trip.Hardwood's Facebook event page is something today.
I've never seen it snake like that, which I assume made it confusing. Plenty of line jumping too, which I could've easily done, but took the high road.the massive levels of butthurt over yesterdays release is beyond stupid...
never seen a line that long at Hardywood though. that was some un-precdented ****!
100% agree, we went to Mekong knowing the line was already like 200 deep. I am glad I did though, because the wait was insane.I always thought the overnight line was a fun experience. This showing up at 11am on a release day and getting upset you didn't get beer is comical. Entitled 2014ers gonna cry.
Dude! I meant to hit you up on Saturday to meet up! Line was crazy as hell!100% agree, we went to Mekong knowing the line was already like 200 deep. I am glad I did though, because the wait was insane.
Sounds like you were actually close to me in line after all! Come to think of it, did I meet you in line or no?Haha, it was a long day. I'm sure people are pretty upset after that wait.

Not sure, did you hear people yelling at some point? There were some words exchanged because a buddy was carpooling with us back to Raleigh and one of my buddies got out of line to help him take a case to the car. Someone tried to call the one that was in line with us, and them, for over 2 hrs.. then words were exchanged. People are stupid.Sounds like you were actually close to me in line after all!

Oh damn must have missed that! People are stupid, yes, but beer is the wurst. I would have been better off staying at the Answer all day drinking killer beer the whole time then dealing with that cluster **** **** show!Not sure, did you hear people yelling at some point?

Exactly what we said haha. I am just glad we did Mekong first, would've been pissed if I missed going there for that.Oh damn must have missed that! People are stupid, yes, but beer is the wurst.

dat Morning Juice!just glad we did Mekong first
I wish I could have unlimited supply of all of An's Morning Juice! All that I had were outstanding!dat Morning Juice!
Had 6am and 1am juice, as well as that dark chocolate coconut.. you couldn't go wrong loldat Morning Juice!
I think I am finally at the point were I could careless. It sucks I missed out, but I still had a good time. I knew going to Mekong was risking not getting any.Pretty hilarious contrast between this thread and BA, where there are two threads in which bitching over this release is taking place, including one dedicated solely to that topic.
PS. I got you an AB GBS hahaPretty hilarious contrast between this thread and BA, where there are two threads in which bitching over this release is taking place, including one dedicated solely to that topic.
hey guys, i'll be in richmond tomorrow but unfortunately hardywood isn't open. any recommendations on bottle shops / bars / restaurants in town that will have GBS and/or variants? never had it, would love to try. cheers
I'd agree with this, get some drinks/crowlers from the answer. My brother in law was just able to find a BA and regular GBS in a sheetz I think in Fredericksburg.Regular gbs shouldn't be too hard to find. Not sure on the other variants. I don't live in Richmond so can't really help you out with bottle shop info. If your limited on time I would recommend skipping the hunt for gingerbread and just go to The Answer instead. You wont regret it.... trust me.

Hopefully they don't tap out of Abraxas but even if they do I guarantee the majority of their in house brewed stouts are as good if not better. They have only been open a little over a year and they are already arguably the best in the state. Brandon and An are killing it!Ended up going to the Strangeways brewery - really fun spot. Good sours, tho they literally say in the description they use 3F dredges in their sours lol. Spent hours there after seeing the Rodin exhibit at Fine Arts Museum. Heading to The Answer later (hoping they don't tap out of Abraxas). Great day in Richmond
grab a crowler of whatever Morning Juice is available at Answer!Ended up going to the Strangeways brewery - really fun spot.

The all mosaic double is legit. The andall beers are also really niceAnswer IPAs are up there with Wicked Weed's as the best east of the Rockies and south of the Mason-Dixon line.
