If you didn't want that particular beer, then you'd be up for the next beer release, when a new set of people from the list would be elligible for a portion. That way, everyone would at least be able to try some of the limited release beers, and not have as many people trying to overload your servers, not being able to leave work, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243985051209567821.post-63746370404676715772012-01-27T12:12:14.317-06:002012-01-27T12:12:14.317-06:00Lottery is better than the mad online rush.

A 10 minute window still allows those that can't leave work to purchase a beer online and will give everyone an equal chance to register for an opportunity to buy.<br /><br />It might not be perfect, but this is better than a beer selling out in 45 seconds where the person with the fastest Internet connection wins.Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08881709174355084374noreply@blogger.com
