Motley Cru 15 is on tap at the brewpub right now. Couldn't resist dropping by to have a glass. Drinking fantastically of course.

I was pleasantly surprised by that. They also have Monogamy Centennial, Lost River, and Jutsu back in there. There's also a limit of 4 for the Farmageddon #10.

There was a healthy line when I was there shortly after 11, probably about 25-35 people.

I'm guessing the chances of BOYD being available on Monday are pretty slim?

Any one willing to grab me a bottle? If so it would be greatly appreciated.

I just got back as well. For what it's worth, it didn't seem like everyone was buying the maximum 4 bottles. I would suspect the bottle shop is mostly cleared out by late Sunday due to a combination of Christmas shopping and two beer releases though.

How long does it typically take a line like that to clear out? I'm heading there at open tomorrow and will be tight for time, so might have to skip the stop if they are slow.

This line seemed to add one person for every one that came out of the shop with something in their hands but I imagine around now it would be slower. It'll definitely pick up again post-5:00 as people get off of work.

Edit: I wonder if it'll sell out tonight. Around 4:00 they posted saying they're getting down below 1000 bottles left.

After the initial rush right at launch, there usually isn't much of a line. Usually not more than 5 min at best if there is the odd mini-rush.

Less people than at GLB. GLB was a zoo. Waited over 30 minutes at GLB.

Draft > bottle for me. Bottle is of course fantastic but there's something extra on draft..

What's extra? Can you describe what is so different that makes it superior?
Just curious.
Or can you playfully admit that its purely psychological as the atmosphere at Bellwoods IS awesome. :)
