I support my local brewery so why should someone that lives in florida be able to buy up 6 bottles and sell 5 on ebay when i helped pay their bills and want the beer to drink and age? also my father and I have the same name so will i only be able to submit my name and he is out of luck? my problem with this is I live 5 min from the brewery and I go to the brewery once a week to eat and have some great brews.

Got in line around 10 and started drinking with some people from around the country. I had a case of Hopslam and gave many of them away. I had 2 douchebags just barging their way to the front after they already bought! I was waiting to get mine when these guys just walked right past everyone INCLUDING 3F SECURITY CREW!!! Went up and bought 6 more and as they walked away announced they were selling it on ebay! WTF!! Yes last year they were not prepared. More porta potties and better security. I like the ticket idea. Too bad I won't make it this year. Moved to Cali and enjoying Russian River and Port Brewing now. Would still go back given the chance. Hope they make it better for everyone. It was only a few years ago that Barnaby was sitting on pallets trying to sell the stuff. I remember my buddy buying a mini keg of it. I went to the second one and there was only the usuals from the $5 a cup drink as much as you want in the brewery!

People are lining up already before the sun rises! THOUSANDS of people show up, with a limit of 6 bottles per person, and they still ran out with hundreds left in line. This brewery is not that big, so the solution is not to make more, they are making as much as they can while maintaining their other beers. Again this is a SMALL brewery. I made it there in 2008 at around 9:30AM and I had to stand in line for hours, I was probably in the first thousand people in line. You have to park up to a mile away and walk to the line, and the line goes very far, and of course can't be single file or it would require police intervention (which the Munster police are already involved in the current Dark Lord days and the news media). This is BIG and getting BIGGER. I may be camping out for this one. Allow a line to form, say 8AM? People are lining up already before the sun rises!

DLD is nothing more than marketing: Limited supply and increased hype. Why don’t they just brew more beer?
