Casey Brewing and Blending thread

[SecretSquirrel]

I think the release went really well

I think most of the chatter was from people that underestimated the turnout and then were pissed that they didn't get everything handed to them. Giving out ticket was a great idea because it silenced pretty much anything to do with "line jumping" because the ticket guaranteed the beer.

I think the next move is lottery for the magnums if he wants to go that way.

I think the lottery should deb done for the small release stuff i.e. 116 bottles Cut. Would it alleviate people showing up too damn early?

Then who shows up to buy all the other bottles and beers being served at the bar? Within reason, crowds are a good thing. So is hype and people excited to get the beer. This crowd was perfectly reasonable.

I still think that half the reason some people show up so early is because of the 3 hour drive. If you're not a morning person, getting there at 2am may be perceived as a lot easier then getting there at 8 or 9 am. Moving the event back 2 hours might reduce some of the camping out as well.

I think the crowds will come with a lottery or a tix for cuts, mags etc and you know it to Bill. Sooner or later you're gonna have people there the night before and that's unfair to Troy and the property, just my 2 cents

 

[swivelhips1]

You already have people with tents sleeping there overnight.

Ding ding ding... We have a winner!

I'll get there between 10pm-1am everytime over having to wake up @ 4 then drive for 3 hours.

Had a bottle of b1 saison tonight that was absolutely delicious. Really good blend, would recommend opening one if you haven't recently!

 

[agrippin]

I think I'm finally going to make it to a release, and it's the anniversary party. Should be interesting to see how the Low End compares to Saison and East Bank.

 

[Labors Of Hercules]

Yeah, I'm excited for the low end. Sounds great!

 

[abawol01]

What is this Low End and why am I already ISO???

Seriously, what is it?

It's a hoppy farmhouse ale at 4.5%. And you are ISO because you know it's going to be delicious!

A good album

A good album

This was my first thought when I saw it. Drive home music for today is set.

 

[ASak10]

Based on Troy's comments and the limits posted...anyone that lines up in the middle of the night deserves a swift kick in the balls.

Also, I'm finally going to make it to my first release, hope to see some of you up there!

 

[TheMitz]

I will be making my first as well, most likely. Probably go for a hike in the morning and swing by after lunch. I won't be butthurt if I miss out on a beer or two.

A good album

I can almost guarantee that's what it's named after. Troy has said he's a huge fan of old school hip hop, even named his new fruit fermenters "Eric B." and "Rakim" IIRC.

Agreed. He also confirmed that hip hop was also the inspiration behind "the cut".

 

[SecretSquirrel]

[Ispeakforthetrees]

Be easy on the cut no mistakes allowed

~75% of Talkbeer is confused as to why MTV has music, why there is a show called YO! MTV Raps, and are reading Rakim's wikipedia page.

Don't think there are any. Flora magnums exist, though...
