I was surprised by the high limit as well. In the past they've been fairly strict on limits (a couple releases I can't recall plus the 2014 Motley Cru, which was a limit of 4, come to mind).

I'll be splitting my 8 bottles between 3 people.

Good beer, not sure if was my favorite personal style on draught and I never tried my 2013 bottloons. Dang it, now they've changed it and stuff. OK line up again... I feel like a gosh darn Apple consumer or something here.

Also on the plus side, with the release of Bring Out Your Dead, that means that those used barrels are going to create a delicious batch of 3 Minutes to Midnight.

For those wondering about how long it took for Skeleton Key to sell out: I was there around 4PM Sunday and picked up a couple bottles. I think it sold out that night.

I am fairly certain that they already confirmed this in one of their blogs or newsletters.

We probably saw each other and didn't even know it.

It was a little shorter than the SK release. The girl at the cash said she was having issues with their internet that caused the line to move a bit slower, but overall it wasn't much of a wait (10-15 tops).

I was at Bellwoods on my lunch break around around 2:00ish, and there were 5 people in front of me. No one behind me. The employees were said it was selling slower than SK did, but attributed it to the weather.

Drinking one of the new BOYDs now. It has been awhile since I had last years, so take this with a grain of salt, but I would say this batch is better than the original. A very, very nice beer. Pricey but well worth the money.

There wasn't a hell of a lot of BOYD still available at 11:30 this morning. Might have been 20-25 cases left on the last pallet (confirmed that it was the last one). If you really want and and thought about waiting until tomorrow, you might ant to reconsider.

Yeah. I was there at 11 on the spot and there were 6 people in front of me grabbing between 4 and 8 bottles each. I expect a "sold out" tweet by the end of the night.

I was there a couple minutes before 11, so I was probably one of the people in front of you.
