Black Hops-Black Friday Sale

[Steelers77]

We will have amazing prices on a ton of hops for this up coming Black Friday sale. Prices start at $.65/oz and will include at least 15 varieties of hops.

Supplies will be limited on all varieties so check us out early because they will go fast.

Some varieties included in this sale will be: Cascade, Columbus, Palisade, Tettnang, Mt. Hood and many more.

sounds great, will these be from the 2011 crop?

 

[ProzHack]

At what time will the prices go into effect?

 

[Steelers77]

They will be 2010, we are just now starting to see 2011 hops. Our first shipment of 2011 hops will be in this week and will include the Zythos, Falconer's Flight and Falconer's Flight 7 C's.


I was thinking of starting the sale at Midnight and letting it run till Midnight Friday or until the allotted amount of each hops are sold out, thoughts?

Start the sale now. Hey, you asked for thoughts.

 

[Native302]

agreed, now please. Black Friday is a gimmic. You'll still sell out of everything.

Great idea!

I agree but we are still packaging all the hops for the sale. We want to be ready.

 

[R2-D2]

Sounds like Midnight to Midnight is a great idea. Will set my alarm.

Will you post a list of the hops and prices in advance?

 

[IffyG]

When do you think those will be up for purchase?

 

[Steelers77]

I will post later this week. Nothing will be more that $.89/oz

 

[Steelers77]

I hope to have those varieties (Zythos, FF, FF7C) up by the sale (they will not be on sale but will be a good price).

 

[samc]

Any idea what Zythos is composed of?

Fantastic. I'll be sure to check in and place an order.

 

[EllisTX]

I'll be up at midnight!

Just a thought (since you asked)...
You will be competing with every other retailer's Black Friday sale on Black Friday. I have about 30 things to buy from about 10 different stores at midnight on Thursday night. I'm sure I'm not alone.

I can see how it would be easy for people to overlook this sale dealing with all of their other purchases for Christmas presents, home electronics, etc. Why not stand out by doing it a day early or something? The risk is...nothing, really. If you don't sell out, you just continue the sale through the following day.

I disagree with ocluke... it's all about prioritizing. I'll buy some midnight hops over fighting some middle-aged crazed lunatic looking for a effin flat panel TV anyday.

^^This +1. We brew because we're obsessed with it. LET THE BLACK FRIDAY HOP MADNESS BEGIN :rockin:

 

[rjsnau]

Can I assume it will start midnight CST?

I was referring to shopping online for Black Friday deals. Does anyone go into brick and mortar stores for Black Friday sales anymore? That's so 2009

 

[maffewl]

Can I assume it will start midnight CST?

That's a great question... what midnight time zone? Also... if we "pre-load" our cart before midnight... then checkout post midnight... will the new black friday rate apply

 

[neovox]

Falconer's Flight and Falconer's Flight 7 C's.

Sweet!!!

 

[Steelers77]

Can I assume it will start midnight CST?

Yes, Central standard time.

Who's brewing Friday while all the ladies are out shopping? I'm re-brewing an oatmeal stout that I brewed a month ago, have to tweek the recipe.

I think you will have to refresh your cart to get the prices

Will hit the sale Thu. @ midnight but I will be hunting Fri. all day. I want to be as far away from commerce as possible on Black Friday..

 

[Steelers77]

Deer hunting? If so send me some jerky!

I tell you what. If I bag both the 8 point white tale buck and the mulie doe I have scouted I will have one processed into jerky and send you some...

Nice, good luck.


We just found out that we will receive our shipment of Falconer's flight, 7 C's and Zythos for the sale on Friday. So we should have around 20 hops for the Black hop sale.

Cheers,

John

Stay tuned for more info

is it officially 12:01 p.m. central on Friday or are you still taking suggestions? If so, i suggest 11:00 A.M. eastern time on Friday afternoon. I plan on having a few beers on thanksgiving and plan on being asleep by midnight
