I don't have that kind of patience. There are beer releases like that every year, too. There's a brewery in Northern California (Russian River) that releases a special triple IPA every year. It's basically a week or two that it's available. People come from around the world to wait in line for 8 hours to get a 6oz pour. They secretly release small kegs as well to some places, and I was able to snag a glass a few years ago here in Colorado with only a 2 hour wait. It wasn't worth the two hours in my opinion. Drinking, to me, is about enjoying someone's craftmanship and having a good time sharing with friends. I just can't get into the hours of waiting or driving, hunting something down and then paying a fortune on top of my efforts.
