Yeah, but I like other locals having nice things too. Them Floridafolk and hypebeasts can stay away from muh brrz.
swivelhips, here’s the best thread for all your Floodland-related questions...
Oh, and Grails and Waysigns had a 2pp limit, with no opportunity for extras (guessing no extras because some will be available for the public release, and perhaps The Masonry’s farmhouse fest on April 7th).

Finally opened up a bottle yesterday. I kind of wanted to open another one immediately...

Grails and Waysigns this year is just a 2 barrel blend. I have brewed it again recently and will brew it another time, as it is a great blending component, so hopefully next year there will be a larger release. Anything left over after the 2pp is set aside for Masonry Farmhouse Fest, a SBW event, and maybe a few cases for beer dinners that are TBD. It will be pouring on draught at Saraveza in PDX for the Farmhouse and Wild Ale Festival next weekend (along with a keg of Drive Out the Spirits).

Can't imagine it's a very large keg or that it will last very long. Probably my least favorite of the Floodland beers I've had so far, but still pretty damn fantastic.

How much were the pours?
Protection Spells is my favorite from the first round. The untitled raspberry bottle I had was also pretty impressive. Still need to drink the Field Blend Cherry.
Someone elsewhere had posted $8 for a pour, and it looked to be a decent 8oz+ sized pour. Considering bottles were $24, that's a damn good deal, imo.

Seriously. That's pretty damn good.

$8 for an 8oz pour (I think). Felt like value to me.
And praising the beers to the hilt on a very popular and public Internet forum somehow makes you less culpable? Has it never occurred to anyone that they can tell the brewer, and each other, how they feel, but that they don't also have to tell the world?
That's a hell of a first post! Coming out guns blazing, earning those Photekut likes. Strong showing.

No harm intended, fellas. It was just an observation, some food for thought. A provocation, perhaps, but I’m no pot-stirrer. The spread of information online is unwieldy, and it seldom takes long for a handful of voices in a handful of places saying the same thing to ruin something in short supply. That was my point, and I don’t think it’s unreasonable, even if Photekut likes it.
But there’s no ****ing way POTUS would ever write that tweet. Floodland’s beers are far too subtle, delicate, and restrained to earn that prick’s praise.
Cheers.

Also love the branded cardboard packaging.
Packaging for the proletariat. Down with the bourgeoisie. Up the punks.

Emails went out to the waitlist. (Members didn't see the email.)

Haha, in the email you encouraged us to go to the Masonry at noon when bottle pickups end. Do you expect us to stay there all day? Could get pricey. And drunk.
New Order is one of my favorite bands though...

Floodland releases are the best releases. So easy.
U on beer already, brah? Bottle pickup for that 3-pack is 4/14.

Forgot what the months are.

Well, it would be pretty expensive to head to Masonry on 4/14 and stay there until 5/14.

Well I have known the GM Melissa for many years, maybe she'd let me crash there.

Executive meatball lounge. I ain't that flush.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how long the pickup window was for the last public sale? I didn't pay close attention since I knew I wouldn't be up in Seattle but I have trips planned in June and July so hoping I have a chance at overlapping with the summer public release mentioned in today's email.
