Unless you are a CW member, that would be a poor choice of days to go and if you were in fact a CW member, you could just buy that **** online and not have to hope you make it in time, like the rest of us pleebs.

I'm assuming Joe would drive up Tuesday night in order to be there Wednesday... but what do I know

Fair enough

 

[Os]

And...

It wasn't supposed to be flat, and HF has denied there's an issue with it. It's OK to admit they made a mistake.

I must have missed them denying anything. Where'd you see this?

I'm not aware of being able to buy shelfies yet as a CW member... maybe I should message to inquire bc I'd love some Twilight and Convivial

I'm not sure that was an option was it? Maybe I missed it if it was written in the original email

Nah, I never saw anything like that.

I thought there was a really old reply on Twitter by Shaun or here by Ryan. But I might be confused. Did they offer refunds?

I don't know that they did offer refunds but the best bet would be to email them for any information. I just don't think they would deny issues with all the reports of bottle variation.

A couple of direct queries on Twitter to no reply:

yeah, again, seems like just no answer given but not a denial. Not to mention, a QC pour is done early but they must have done more research after the reports. I would email them though if you wanted more info. They don't post everything online.
Just wouldn't jump to conclusions that they are hiding/denying anything.

 

[iong516]

They posted that they were carbed and tasted fine at one point...

Sure. Fine.

I was more confused by everyone jumping in to say "Who cares if it's carbed? It's delicious!"

On another note, how have Saturdays been lately as far as turning up early to be near the front of the line? Is getting there at like 11 tomorrow likely to mean a long wait for growler fills or bottles? I'd rather not have to get there even earlier than that but I also can't wait too long tomorrow.

FWIW, b1 Sankt aged like a ******* champ. If you still have b2 Sankt, I'd tuck it away for another year or two and see what happens.

 

[Os]

Sure. Fine.

I was more confused by everyone jumping in to say "Who cares if it's carbed? It's delicious!"

ah yeah, it certainly was meant to be carbed as per the posts... I don't mind it flat though, even if by mistake. Sometimes I prefer less carb in some beers... I feel like I can pickup on more subtleties

 

[OnryAndMean]

the 6 bottles of SH B2 I've opened so far have all been flat. tasted fine, but definitely one of the least favorite releases I've had from HF.

B1 was great IMO

 

[Kpaxprime]

Just popped it @50 degrees, or thereabouts. Pretty great carb, and tasty. I always thought this beer tastes a lot like Norma.

Yes. Os is correct. Tuesday travel. Wednesday beer. I am a Samaritan and, thus, not one of the chosen people.

For what its worth, fairly confident the flat batch was not B2.. It was 3 or 4 iirc.. Can confirm for certain next time I head to my cellar

 

[iong516]

M&C7 sounds pretty great...

 

[dabaloons]

free this week?



Opened last Batch of BA Everett and honestly it might be one of my favorite dark beers ever. **** was straight fire

Care to provide details?

Can you imagine how ****** you'd feel if you were a vanilla bean they didn't select?

Smooth operation at HF today. As always a great job by them.

Note for the day: Twilight on Nitro is A++ work. That would be a fun way to drink through a night.

ISO: nitro system and Twilight keg or four.
