Cans just aren't rustic enough man...

What about recycled cans?

 

[MikeG1]

Wooden cans - aka micro-foeders.

This would be ultra rare. In house only.

His brother could make them and they could sell them for an obscene price like they did with those ****** totes he made a few years ago.

I am frankly stunned this isn't called Dot. But whatever, BA Clara in my head was supposed to be "Claire" and that didn't happen either, so

 

[tehzachatak]

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed.

It went from 3f, tilquin and cantillon being available at retail on a semi-annual basis to only being available at HF, Parker pie or occasionally nicer restaurants.

It isn't bitching to be frustrated that a distributor cherry picks products to sell at their retail establishment. It isn't like they keep a lineup of mikeller turding up the on site bottle list.

Ok, I will revise to "people will comment on/find ways to be frustrated with lambic distribution, no matter what the strategy is."

Just a heads up but we have not received cantillion in over a year from sheltons. The stuff we sell at the brewery is stuff we held back in case we decide to host zwanes again. But yeah continue to just imagine things as that works as well.

 

[basicksickness]

still looking for FOFA tix like the rest of the site. have voodoo beers, from the last release, plus whatever, bourbon, cash, blah... been there the past 2 years and really trying to make it happen again. thanks dudes.

 

[user 308679]

Like stifling lambic distro to the rest of the state so there's more to serve in house?

This happens in CO as well. Crooked Stave (CSA) holds it back for Zwanze Day. Last year, there were select shops that got a few bottles of Fou and Framboos, and then a **** ton more showed up at CS for Zwanze. This year there has been a dribble of Golden Blend and no Hommage. I expect to see plenty of it at Zwanze '16.

So it goes. It certainly makes for a good Zwanze event though.

and there it is...

 

[Beer4B]

More importantly, some more Ann for on-site today...I need to move out of this sweaty state and up there. Can't wait for next beercation.

 

[dabaloons]

BA Dorothy as Borat would say was "very nice".

 

[MyGrandmaLovesCraftBeer]

Am I to understand that bottles of Fou, St. Lam, LPF, LPK, etc., made an appearance at last year's Zwanze Day event at HF? Or was the inference that future events might feature such bottles?

 

[Frank1]

Fresh Double Galaxy = the truth.

Haven't gotten super excited about a DIPA I'm a while but DAMN if this isn't delicious.

 

[scrub0bk1]

Double galaxy eludes me. Just got the last 2 s&s I needed to try when I was up. Damn 5 is a grapefruit bomb, but 1 is still the goat for me.

 

[Corbot_3000]

I'm looking for a DD for FOFA. Will handsomely reward with tasty midwest beers as a thank you.

So to get any of the special vintage stuff on site do you have to be there super early?

Was not sure if it sells to the first few people in line or you can go there around noon and get right in for tastings only.

By what I've noticed is He's been putting them out for opening , in the past I believe Shaun would put things out randomly thru out the day. I personally liked the later as I always avoid the opening now.

Is the conformation number for fofa the same as the ticket number on the tickets? I bought them from someone so didn't have a 'conformation' number but the ticket number on both is the same
