2 things. 1 I slept on the bt glasses if anyone has an extra they could give up let me know. And 2 the pb and Thursday I would love so whoever isn't maxing let me know.

 

[StarRaptor1]

That was the intention. I haven't had it yet, but all that have says the peanut butter is very faint to non-existent.

I disagree, the bottles at Black Tuesday were very peanut buttery

I still haven't had it yet, but trust your opinion more than random people I probably should stop in and pick up my bottles sometime!

Anyone know why they're killing off Humulus Lager?

One of the only reason a brewery kills a beer is because it isn't selling wel

I ******* love Humulus but that **** is priced way out of whack compared to most other beers. At least in NJ/NYC

Or you know, because it is the only regular lager they produce, thus requiring multiple yeast strains present in the brewery, yeast management concerns, and the increased turnaround time compared to other ales that don't require a longer fermentation and lagering thus increasing opportunity cost.

well if it was selling that would all be worth it

 

[matedog]

I'm curious as to what they are replacing Tradewinds with, if anything at all. Also surprised Autumn Maple is sticking around when TWs isn't. Seasonals seem less trendy these days.

or come over and split a bottle

Aside from the previously noted reasons, I would imagine that giving up on their whole "we won't brew IPAs" schtick was part of it. Humulus was a way for them to have a clean, hoppy beer on tap to please people who came into the tasting room and expected every brewery to have an IPA. If they can achieve the same thing with a faster fermenting beer, it would seem to be a net win for them.

For the past few months they've been putting on hoppy pale ale's like Parting Clouds or Western Skyline. I imagine going forward that will be how they approach having IPA-ish beers in the tasting rooms.

 

[coldstorage]

No need to imagine.
From email:
"Don’t worry, we have more hops on the way to dry your tears. Starting in 2017, we’ll be premiering a new, rotating series of hoppy beers under the "Hoppy Obligations" banner."

Im kinda Meh on the cybeer Monday allocations.

 

[daniel1]

Not for others though. M12 and Grey Monday all sold out at $37 and $45.

What? No interest in Smooth Criminal?

That beer actually was fairly good in and of itself, it just had the misfortune of being released in a period where they were beating us over the head with Anniversary blends and being marketed with a really dumb backstory.

What are they charging for it now that it's a vintage beer?

Pre-discount is $27.50.

Same, passed pretty easily. The M12 I opened couple of weeks ago was infected, making decisions even easier.

 

[boogercrack]

LOL people have spoken and Ukulele has sold out.

barf.

I actually didn't hate that beer, and I hate ALL chili beers.

 

[sdreaper]

GM '16 and PB&Thursday are up for Hoarders to dip in again... 4 bottles per.

 

[wolf13]

Anyone HS not using all their PB/Cuvée allocations that would be willing to let me partake?
