In for the lotto. Would love to get in on the bus if I end up going.

In for the lotto, also in for the bus if I get lucky.

Also noticed the stagecoach is already fully booked. If anyone is holding a room that may end up going unused, please let me know!

They could pull some really awesome vintage **** out though. Who knows. Plus Tomme is one of the coolest dudes in beer.

It'll feel like we're back in 2011!

I was not overly impressed (as I sip a 50/50 mix of Marie and Palatine).

A while back I recall someone posted about an Aaron vertical tasting that went back to either batch 1 or batch 2. Anyone done something similar recently or know how older batches are holding up?

 

[Stewmeister91]

Clover...

 

[BSimp603]

Curious why the original release this winter was 2pp and this is 1.

Also VERY curious how they will enforce the 1 bottle per release duration. Fine in theory, and I truly hope they do it.

Meh, whatever. BA WiE, Flora Plum and LOG as well. Damn fine week for a trip to the Hill.

Isn't this just the standard limited release bottle policy they've been using for a few years now? Enforced by requiring purchase with a credit card and a matching ID.

It was this way for a bit, and then generally switched to the limit being daily rather than over the length of the release. They'll be fine enforcing 1 pp for this I'm sure. Will be interesting to see how long it lasts! Clover b1 made it to Saturday if I remember right, and I wanna say it was 2 per day 1 and a huge limit for CW.

Batch 2 = fire, fwiw. Cracked one over mother's Day weekend.

 

[axeman91821]

Yeah, I opened a b2 couple Sundays ago for Game of Thrones and it was pretty great.

so no tales of mules being booted or any fun stories with clover and flora plum being dropped?

A friend said Shaun was going through the line before open today telling people there were only 6 bottles of Clover left. I endorse him going full troll.

Other than the old lady with the cane who could barely walk, it was fairly uneventful, antics-wise. There were definitely pissy girlfriends and wives there, but unfortunately no one thrown out of line.

When I left at 12:30 or so, there was a group of about 5 or 6 college age girls in line under the tent looking bored shitless and no doubt thinking about whatever their boyfriends promised to buy them for muling.

Saw the same group of girls, unusual for a beer release for sure. One of the girls did have a Cantillion sweatshirt on and they seemed to know way around the taproom. They were behind us in line so I did not see what they bought though.

On a side note, I will probably be staying at the BW Waterbury for FOFA and I'm down for 2 seats on the bang bus.

 

[Stevedore1]

Anyone else think Clover is going to last past the weekend?

 

[tikk]

Females obviously have no interest in craft beer. They must only be there to mule for their boyfriends.
