yeah, as i said, avoid getting to Queen's Quay when they open. go at 11.

How come? how many 6pks did they get?

9:40 am 12/12, I'm on a list at 3 stores, haven't got a call from any. Just called one of to ask if it's in and they said it was not in yet.

Called the Richmond Hill location just now.

I started with: "There is a beer that is supposed to come out today"
The guy cut me off: "We don't have it."
I said: "I said I guess you have had this question before"
He said: "We have had HUNDREDs of calls at this location, there are only 40 6 packs coming in and it will be one per customer. first come first serve. If they get it tonight it will be available tomorrow morning"

I'm on crutches so my sweet wife is going to Queens Quay this morning to try and grab me a case.

Don't knock her over you animals!

There's no lists - they were taking lists before and had to scrap them.

Just everyone be nice to everyone else out there, please. Whether you get one or not it's supposed to be a happy day....

(...as long as I get one...)

was just at the rideau ottawa location, about 10-15 people waiting outside to get in. They said it will be out tomorrow.

I got to Weston at 7:10 am and was 6th in line. By time they opened at 9 there were just shy of 60 people in line. All packs were gone by 9:05. If you want one of these don't expect to walk in 2 hours after opening and just pick one up.

This is pure madness!

Weston/401 opened at 9:00. 40 cases sold out before 9:15. Apparently they had people waiting from 7:00am. Crazy beer geeks. Oh well, the Pothole should fill in nicely.

Ya I was there at 7:10, one lady was there from 6:30. She even drove by at 3:30 to make sure the line wasn't starting yet.

At 9:20 this morning the Ancaster store said they don’t know when they will have it: “Not likely today, possibly tomorrow, probably by Friday.” They don’t know how many they will have, but they will put it out “as soon as it arrives, on a first-come, first-served basis… When it’s gone it’s gone.”

I knew they would be gone relatively fast (like in one week gone from the system), but I had no idea it would be this rabid. Somehow I think a lot of people who got it, never even heard of it till a few weeks ago and just jumped on the hype train. GRRRRRR.

And yesterday topped the 10th for biggest day of the year on BT. Hope the site isn't laggy for anyone, we've got a strong server but clearly a lot of traffic. Good luck with the hunt folks.
