They don't do Crowler Tuesdays anymore?

I think last Tuesday was the final one - saw something about it on FB saying they want to focus on having special stuff to go in crowler/growler all the time instead of just Tuesday. I'll try and find the post.

I see bottles since DBH for sale above retail all the time.

Haven't ever looked.

"Please note that this will be our last growler Tuesday. Instead of this program, we will be refocusing our efforts on crafting exciting treatment offerings to be available at all times on our growler bar - including growler Tuesday greatest hits."

On Monday, July 31st from 6 PM to 9 PM El Catador Club 7th Edition members who purchase a ticket will be the first consumers with access to purchase 22 oz. bottles of Marshal Zhukov's Imperial Stout, our monolithic Imperial Stout brewed to honor Georgy Zhukov, arguably one of the finest generals of World War II. While this beer will be released to the general public on August 1st, El Catador Club members who attend our Marshal Zhukov's Preview will not only be able to taste the beer on draught before anyone else, they'll also be able to purchase an unlimited quantity of Marshal Zhukov's Imperial Stout in 22 oz. bottles before the official release date of August 1st.

Additionally, attendees will be able to purchase draught pours of a brand new beer in Marshal Zhukov's regiment, Cognac Barrel-aged Marshal Zhukov's Imperial Stout. This beer will not see distribution outside of the Cigar City Brewing Tasting Room and our Marshal Zhukov's Preview Party attendees will be the first consumers to sample this never-before-brewed masterpiece. Also available on draught will be 2016 Bourbon Barrel-aged Marshal Zhukov's Imperial Stout and a new treatment of Marshal Zhukov's that will be exclusively available at the Preview Party.

The price of admission to Marshal Zhukov's Preview Party is a $25 donation to the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation. This event is exclusive to El Catador Club members, no guests or +1's may attend.

$25

2/2 bottles so far bottles they have done already, maybe a trend? Not complaining. Prob nothing but it could be cool!!

 

[RyanMcFly1985]

Definitely hoping for some sort of trend here. Loved both of these the first time around.

I know it was technically a collab, but I'd **** myself if they brought back Cognac Church on a Hill

I haven't seen an email yet.

They said on Facebook, and maybe Instagram, that people shouldn't come to pickup the beer until the email has been deployed.

Heard this round is a best of round. If thats true could we see DBH B3?

Nah, hook me up with more of that Leon.

 

[CaptainFleeker]

I say we wrap up this round with a nod to 2011:

 

[loomisj]

I would love to see Neilsbohrum brewed again. That was the barrel aged beer that made me really begin to appreciate the style. Back then you could walk in and just buy some bottles of it out of the cooler.

Then the 2011 BA Huna release that year changed things, still the craziest release IMHO. Babies, snakes, you name it.

I opened Look to the Cookie a few weeks ago and was very happy with it. I thought they were spot on in the description - could taste vanilla and chocolate independently. The barrel wasn't overpowering either. Really pleased with the last round and this one so far too.

 

[Mudvayne1988]

Drank a Life is like last night, very reminiscent of Backyard rye. I remember having the first batch a few years ago on tap and it tasted exactly like a chocolate covered cherry, this new batch is more like a dark chocolate covered raspberry.

 

[chongcheesol]

I hope to open a bottle of Life Is Like tonight!

 

[IndianaJones]

3rd bottle is Double Barrel Marshal Zhukov, aged in bourbon and rum barrels

This might be the fastest round yet and that is saying something. Hell of a start so far and glad to hear the positive tasting notes on life is like

 

[Doc1]

I've heard this is the last round sadly. Still rumor, but I heard It nonetheless.
