[Brez071]

Pick Your Own release will be this Saturday 12/13. C'mon Allagash, why u do dis?

 

[JBP]

They must have line envy.

man, Ghoulschip was bad, can't really even imagine what this is going to be like. although it doesn't have the Coolship cachet attached for me, seems like most people, even relatively informed people, have very little idea what is coolship beer and what isn't anyway.. had some guys try to trade me "nancy, allagash's newest coolship fruit sour"

Yeah seems like the fruit (and pumpkin) beers are the ones that capture the imagination of the "general public" and the mid-level craft beer fans the most. Most of those people could give a crap less about stuff like Resurgam. But toss some fruit in it, and look out!

At least it's a fouder batch at 2pp, so I don't see it selling out in a few hours-one day. Should be fine to show up in the afternoon.

Yeah. Did they mention a bottle count anywhere? Let me ping them on twitter, they've been good about it in the past...

Haven't heard.

BTW.. if anyone nerds out about this stuff like I do, any additions are welcomed... I am 100% sure I'm missing some coolship bottle dates.

Pretty crazy that 11 of the 22 non-coolship 375 releases (by my count) were this year.

That's awesome man, nice work!

Regarding Golden Brett 2nd release (line 18 Wilds page) - this was when they randomly put out like 300 bottles in the retail store right? I grabbed one of those, and still had a bottle left from the initial release. Both have a March 13, 2014 bottling date, so looks like just one batch.

I can help you out with bottling dates on a lot of those wilds if you need it.

And yes completely crazy how fast they are cranking the 375s out the past year, especially given that the overall quality has consistently been so high.

 

[JBP]

ABV would be cool to add to the Coolship page as well, I'm curious about that.

Word, feel free to edit and add anything you want! it should be publicly editable. I have dates on most of the wilds, they're all sitting in a graveyard, but it's a pain to take them down to look at them... feel free to add anything!

the thing I am most unsure about is the coolship batches. I think I have the majority of them, but there's definitely at least a couple missing.

I still have at least 1 of every coolship batch left. If I remember when I'm bored at work tomorrow I'll compare your list to my CellarHQ page and update accordingly

Your CellarHQ is public and I am compulsive, so I'm gonna do it haha. Thanks though! I filled in a ton of other info, but marked all the remaining things I don't have in yellow.

So, matches up exactly except there were two batches that I was already unsure existed.. Jan 23 2012 Cerise (never saw label or had bottle, someone mentioned it somewhere online) and August 25 '13 Resurgam (think there was the same story on that one, can't remember why it was on the list).

so if you're sure you have one of every batch, then I'll take those off! thanks!

Sweet - another great thread that I hadn't seen until now. Posted in the Portland thread last week that my wife and I will be heading up for a few days after Christmas. Neither of us have ever been so both these threads will be very helpful.

Probably too early to predict if there will be any type of special release on the 27th, right?

Midnight Brett could (will likely be?) still be on the shelf - it lasted forever last time. Otherwise, kind of doubt that there will be anything released in the two weeks after Pick Your Own, but who knows. I guess Farm to Face got released barely a week after Ghoulschip this year. I'm still waiting on Currant Affair...

 

[apatrick17]

Gotcha - thanks!

Haha, nice. I can double check my "cellar" but I'm fairly confident I've hit every release since Victor Franc

Your Wilds list checks out. Where'd you find all those release dates haha?

Hard work! And hitting at least half of them myself.

No details on release or possible distro known at this time.

tehzachatak your chart is going to be 37 pages long in another 12 months at this rate.

Smoothly? About 150 when I got there at 930, line was almost all indoors when I left around 1030. Assuming it sells out today if it hasn't already

 

[Evan1212]

Did PYO sell out? Seemed like it was going to when I was there on Saturday but never heard.

 

[JRBecks]

Can I get a price check on Farm to Face?

 

[drgarage1]

Can I get a price check on Farm to Face?

Seemed to be about $18/375 everywhere I've seen it.
