[JBP]

Can I get a price check on Farm to Face?

$12.99-14.99 range if purchased in Maine.

So, any Allagash "All-stars" in our midst?

So when do we start wildly and baselessly speculating that this is Friendship Blend?

tehzachatak you in?

Yep

Yep

Nice man!

And the speculation has already begun haha. If so, no way they sell it to-go, IMO. Prob just give every table a bottle or two to drink maybe? Still sticking by my theory it's never "released". Not getting my hopes up either way though haha. Will just be a nice fun night regardless. Maybe they put on some special kegs or whatnot. Super nice gesture on their part overall and further cements them as one of the coolest breweries "personality"-wise out there. Genuinely good people.

Every time I've talked to staff about it, I've gotten the same sense- almost definitely on-premise only. But yeah, even if this DOESNT have anything to do with FB, it's still clearly gonna be a fun time and I would imagine we'll see some special/cool beer.

And yeah- Allagash is just the best.

Aaaaaaand I'm out of the loop. Little help?

 

[JbrewRI]

Does anyone know if House Beer is available right now?

A while back they started taking contact info from some people at bottle releases, yesterday they sent out an e-invite to a customer appreciation-type dinner at the brewery. No real details yet on what will be involved.

Ah. Damn, my friend who works there told me ask about that. Hopefully it's not too late...

Pretty fun time at Allagash this morning. Big turnout despite the weather. I showed up at 9:30 and was like number 140-something. Very cool of them to put Monmouth Red on, and the donuts were great.

Showed up right around 8am and was 23rd. Great time spitting pitts and Pitt.

I did think that Tiarna was going to be a 2 per person limit versus 1pp. Not mad just thought that was advertised.

Ah, was wondering what happened there. I assumed they dropped the limit, guess it was 1 pp from the get go. Old HLT sold out before me, which sucked, but whatever!

It was 1 per person from the get go - I just picked two of each and they made me put it back. So confused.

I'm surprised they didn't have a shitload of that. Its the most recent of the three vintage they were selling and it was EVERYWHERE on shelves here and the places I saw in Maine for literally months. Weird.

 

[Respirologist]

Any word from the grapevine about Wild Friendship Blend.... ?

 

[Thorpe]

It's probably in here somewhere, and apologies for being lazy, but what are the normal allotments for Resurgam now? Need to try to trade for some as I just realized it's been nearly two years since I've had it

2 per, $15 at the last couple releases. Hasn't been out since last summer, I think. Would expect a release soon. I'll shoot you a message when the next release happens.

Thanks for the info, and definitely up for another swap if you're able to grab some in the future!

K, so now that we're a week away, who else am I seeing on Saturday at Allagash? Think I only know about JBPortland kfernandez3 and ktbaum so far.

My friend at the brewery never heard back about getting me on the list, so guessing I'm out

Mini-TB party somewhere after?

I have to get up and drive to Pennsylvania the next morning or I would try to put a bottle share together

 

[Brez071]

Friendship Blend will be served at a charity dinner at the brewery. $100/ticket... if you win the lottery.

God dammit Mothers day is the day afterward

 

[JBP]

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaak

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaak

I was still harboring a hope there might be some people uh, prioritized, or specially invited, but this makes it preeeetty clear that ain't happening.

(Which is, of course, the FAIR way to do it, and the right way to do it - shouldn't have expected less from Allagash)

 

[JBP]

Well at 4oz of WFB per person x700 that comes out to about 220 bottles poured total at the event, which leaves a bunch left over that could pop up at other various times? Not sure if by 1,500 bottles they mean just the Allagash bottling or are including Cantillon in that number.

Side note, seems like there won't be a Russian River bottling now right? The Allagash blend will be the only U.S. version?
