"Once they figure out safe shipping."

Forgot that part

 

[JulianB1]

Just saw the price tag, $26.99 yikes. Guess they figured they'd price it similarly to the beers going into it.

I was very much ISO


now im not

Swung by right before close cause Candependance caught the better of my curiousity...and yeah, bought the glass. Killed half of my Gravity Check growler basically. Somehow it made that beer taste even better. Mosaic really poppped.

But yeah, sorry for helping perpetuate the stupid price tag.

Figured it fitting to dump a non whale low abv pale to kick it off. It's kinda amazing how the beer seems to never leave the glass.

iso this glass if anyone is going!

 

[daniel1]

Glass is up online but I can't select a shipping option, only pick-up. Not sure if it's a glitch or if they really aren't shipping them.

 

[benbikes4beer]

fine print. TLDR you have to go through flexible shipping options and dedicate it's own shipper to it I think.

Society Members: If you plan to have this purchase held in our warehouse to be shipped at a later time, please select 'pick-up' for this purchase. You will then need to purchase an appropriately sized 'flex-shipper', which is located in the Merchandise section of this site. If you would like this item to ship as soon as possible, check-out with GSO Ground shipping selected. Please note that this item cannot be combined with other products for shipping and must be purchased separately if shipped via GSO or must have a merch shipper purchased in addition to an appropriately sized flexible shipping option if purchased with beer.

Ah, yep. I was just about to double check on the GSO thing. Thanks.

Yeesh. So $40.

Small merch shipper is only $8. So it's closer to $30 after discount. Still an expensive glass.

 

[benbikes4beer]

Waterford bro! haha.

Not saying you can't achieve similar results with a cheaper glass, but it really does a great job of focussing aroma. I haven't really used it for its intended purpose yet. Just doming hops 28oz at a time.

That's a bargain compared to this > $50 shipping

Think of the SuppliConsecrationquences!

It's a lot of small text and definitely not the most clearly written. I had to look through it more than once myself.

 

[mzdoja]

Were these limited to members, are they already all gone, or am I just missing them?

As it should be. Bad enough Preservation Society is getting some pull. We don't need commoners getting access to our swag too!

So.... Go pick one up for me bro?

 

[Aaronkv]

Commoners can get them in the tasting room.

Got mine on the weekend, I too haven't used it for its intended purposes. Bombers of IPA are wonderfull out of it however.

 

[daniel1]

I just noticed "whales" is one of the listed styles.

Are you on the team of our Gang Bang Target? Coordinating a packing day is a problem so we might take the easy way out and ship 10 of these and a 1/2 barrel of Black Tuesday.

Thinking of joining the Preservation Society next year, but first a few questions, and I couldn't think of a better group to ask them to...

(1) What are the allocations typically like? Do I get access to buy additional bottles to lots of non allocated beer, or just a select few?

(2) Any Dallas area Reserve Society member not max out their allotments looking for a split?

(3) Think I have a trustee lined up, but if not anyone willing to trustee for thank you beers/a label?
