Hundreds of excited fans lined up outside of Applejack Wine & Spirits in Wheat Ridge despite a chilling fog Thursday morning for a chance to meet Hollywood superstar Jason Momoa.

The actor — along with his business partner, Blaine Halvorson — held a meet-and-greet at the liquor store on Thursday morning to promote his new Meili Vodka. Those in attendance were able to take photos with the actor and receive a signed bottle of his new liquor.

The two founders of the new vodka company are on a multi-state promotional tour. They had two stops in the Colorado area this week, one in Wheat Ridge on Thursday and another event in Parker on Wednesday.

Both events brought in thousands of fans, lining both parking lots with guests.

Despite fog and temperatures in the 40s, hundreds of people lined up outside of Applejack Wine & Spirits in Wheat Ridge for a chance to meet Momoa. The event ran from 9 to 10:30 a.m. and not all people were able to get in.
