Anyone have any idea on the sell-out factor? Ill be there between 1-2, and was hoping to get 4 bottles (qq location).

No shit-show like last year?

Literally no line at the brewhouse right now and plenty in the fridge.

Sitting at the right side of the bar having a flight if anyone wants to say hi.

Cass had BT buttons at the Sacred Oak event back in September.

Sweet. Missed sacred oak....and a few events after that. Will have to try for a BT button in the New Year.

We showed up around 5 to 11 and there were only a few people in line inside. Grabbed some double tempest and some more sour cherry imperial stout, and then we went inside for a flight after the brewpub opened.

Yeah I was crazy, I pulled in around 2, found street parking just up from the marine police station, like a block away. There still looked to be a fair bit in the fridge, though they said that was it for all locations.

Popped by the brewhouse this morning to see if there was any left.
SOLD OUT sign inside the retail shop.

Not sure about Leaside.

Grandma's Boy goes on sale at Bellwoods today, 11am, $13 a bottle. Much less fanfare (at least on here) for this, so i'm sure they'll last a bit longer than BOYD or SK.

I can't believe this sold out before the weekend. I know these guys are still learning, but come on! The last two releases should have been a wake up call. I really hope they start lowering the limits severely because it sucks that they basically encourage hoarding with 6-8 bottle limits on their limited run beers. Push it down to 3-4 to allow more people a shot at trying these beers! I think 3-4 is a decent amount as it allows you to try one now and age/share/trade a couple. Oh well, that's one less stop to make tomorrow.

6-8 bottles isn't hoarding, I have a bunch of trading partners on all three of these releases I only got one bottle to drink and the rest is spoken for. My best advice is get a TO trading partner to guarantee a bottle or two.
