This morning, The Wine and Cheese Place in Clayton, Missouri, posted a message on its blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Wine and Cheese Place will be starting Founders CBS Canadian Breakfast Stout Reservations around 8:15.<\/p>\n

Since I am confident that it is arriving today and I have an allocation. I thought I would start the reservations process at 8:15. I would rather do this before we open and I am not interrupted with other things here.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"TheAlso, “We only have 24 bottles (well 23, we need to save one for us to beer geeks to drink at the store). 1 bottle per person.” Plus a little more. Use the link at the top to read it.<\/p>\n

Here’s how it played out on Twitter<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\nCBS now (on sale)<\/p>\n

8:16<\/strong>
\nI think the system is jamming, I cannot see orders<\/p>\n

8:17<\/strong>
\nI think it is jamming<\/p>\n

8:18<\/strong>
\nI think #CBS crashed our site, I cannot see anything either?<\/p>\n

8:19<\/strong>
\nLooks like 12 orders got in, I am going turn it off and work out something for the 2nd case – let me try to fix this. sorry.<\/p>\n

8:21<\/strong>
\nlooks like 7 orders got in<\/p>\n

8:27<\/strong>
\nLooks like 12 orders got in, I am going turn it off and work out something for the 2nd case – let me try to fix this. sorry.<\/p>\n

8:30<\/strong>
\nI just stopped taking orders, it looks like all of a sudden a bunch came through. I will start confirming in order of received now and see.<\/p>\n

8:37<\/strong>
\nSorry it is taking so long, 12 confirmations done, working on the next 12<\/p>\n

8:44<\/strong>
\nNo, this means u are confirmed “Your order is waiting for an item to come back in stock. We will email you when it is back in stock. Thanks.<\/p>\n

8:57<\/strong>
\nI sent out all the confirmations. Very sorry for the rough time. I knew it would be a nightmare and everybody would not be happy.<\/p>\n

8:57<\/strong>
\nBefore I turned CBS off online because of the crash, an extra 20 orders made it through.<\/p>\n

8:58<\/strong>
\n@JustinTTravis I would think slim, but I will continue with the people next in line on the system.<\/p>\n

8:59<\/strong>
\nOur system does not show the seconds of when the orders came through, but 26 orders came through at 8:28 alone.<\/p>\n

Understand that at the same time Paul Hayden was dealing with the malfunctioning order system and trying to update customers via Twitter (because I follow many of the St. Louis beer obsessed their messages are also in my feed — Shep133 HOORAY! @TWCPBeer Now all I want is an AT&T iPhone 5 #CBSday<\/em>.)<\/p>\n

That was one stressful 45 minutes to sell 24 bottles of beer. And, in fact, the ending was a little sad.<\/p>\n

8:51<\/strong>
\nSo many people wanted @foundersbrewing #CBS that it crashed our order system for about 10 minutes. Crazy beer, I did not even save one 4 us.<\/p>\n
