Looks a bit like 3956 to me but either way, that's a decent amount.

If anyone is picking some of those up and doesn't want their full allotment, I would be super appreciative if you could snag some for me. I'm open to reasonable compensation.

I would love to see the expression of guys from Motley Crue actually trying this Bellwoods brew. Fuck that would be a funny YouTube clip, maybe go viral.

I"ll be down there Sunday, I was there yesterday and missed out on Cat Lady, Monogomy Citra and Gotham..not a happy camper...came aay with Witchshark and Lost River and somw Wizard Wolf...Hoping some Motley will be left on Sunday but know this is highly doubtful
Everytime I learn something new I forget something old...like that time I learned to make wine and then forgot how to drive...

If it's really 3000 bottles, I'd be shocked if it sold out by Sunday even with the 8 bottle limit. I think the other releases last about 4-5 days with a thursday release day, same limit, and smaller bottle count and according to the bellwoods guys most people don't buy the max, so hopefully it lasts.

i really don't want to make a special trip on saturday, but i know that it's either that or won't get it if i wait until i'm in the city in a couple weeks.

I'm not interested in the beer (kept a bottle of last years MC but haven't tried it yet) but can go to Bellwoods to pick up some for you.

My full eight bottle limit would be up for grabs if there's interest.

I would happily take all 8 bottles. Thanks for offering.

The Motley release sold out in 5 hours last year, granted with fewer bottles available. It seems to be a higher profile release.

Has anyone drank some of their 2014 stock of motley lately? Just wondering how it is progressing in the bottle, I still have 2 downstairs in my cellar, I think.

3000 fewer bottles, i'll take the over on it lasting the weekend...either that or there are tonne of people that are trading the beer away and maxing out the bottle limit.

I'll be cracking my last one on Motley Day, I'm interested to see how it's changed too.

If anybody else isn't buying their full allotment lmk. If I can save a drive down to Bellwoods on a Saturday night I'm happy.

Just curious, as I read that the bottles are 500ml. Was last years also 500ml? I wasn't able to get any last year, but did in 2013 and it was a 750ml bottle.
