I was thinking I would just trade mine for Morning Delight and then we can swap samples. Sound good?

Deal!

No email, but I logged in and I am winner! YAY

 

[DanzBorin]

I got the email while buying the bottle.

I'm guessing most of us got a bottle. Not sure how many folks are in El Cat this year...

I think the number is the same as last year, or around there. Probably near 1500, right? How many bottles were up for lottery? Close to 1100 I think.

 

[thrashD]

According to the email...1174 entered for the 1080 bottles.


I did not win.

 

[jvanaus]

94 people did not win....and I was one of those people.....

 

[DanzBorin]

That blows... I was hoping there were more than enough to go around.

Occasionally while playing XCOM Enemy Within my sniper will miss a 90% chance of hitting so I can empathize with missing a 92% chance



















Yeah I'm an ******* and that was a dick move

























Sorry couldn't resist

 

[jvanaus]

Hey, it's OK. My (incorrect) hope is they just say "hey, 94 people who didn't win - you automatically win a caffe bottle!" ...that would be oh, so good.

 

[wyatt1]

i'm a winner.

 

[ApocalypseZombie]

It would be cooler to brag if you lost, considering the odds and all.

I'm a loser and I won a bottle; double cool?

 

[MKtheGeneral]

In like Flint.

 

[Lasering]

I just drank grandmule last night and I have to say the people that lost the lottery are the winners.

Tasted like old reused barrel. Bunch of oak, not much bourbon. It was also a bit thin compared to most CCB.

Gates of Hell was soooo good doh!

I agree.

Damn, that sucks when I had it on draught it was quite good and had a strong and pleasant barrel presence. Of course this was a three ounce pour, but a shame to hear this. I just drank an Aleworks BBA porter and it was great and reminded me of what I remember Grandmule tasting like. Win some lose some.

Reg Brandy.

You'll have to garnish with an apple slice.

So Grandmule is not worth buying? I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I think people are being overly critical. It's good, it's just not the best work they've done. They can't all be Mona Lisa's.

Different strokes, maybe.

As Drei said. ^

Well, I was one of the "lucky" 100 losers, so I win???

That's the beauty of craft beer. I'll give it a shot.
