Hamiltons and Alpine questions

My wife and I will be rollin’ into town Saturday afternoon. I thought about hitting Hamiltons for Stone night between 5-6 PM. I was wondering how busy they will be around that time? I’m not a big fan of crowds and standing room only bars. Suggestions?

Also, how’s the road in Alpine? I might try to hit the brewery on the way home Saturday the 19th.

Thanks.

Hamiltons is pretty much always packed - for 2nd Saturday events it’s usually wall to wall slammed. The road to Alpine is pretty easy. The brewery is pretty much parallel to the freeway.
