The young lady who was pouring/distributing samples to everyone in line time last time I was up there seriously impressed me. My memory/composure isn't that good. There's no way i wouldn't **** that up completely...It's not an easy job.

You mean you don't hire people sight unseen with never having spoken to them and no idea what their background is?

I must say, after having had to hire countless staff, your lack of knowledge of sound hiring practices completely baffles me.

Anybody notice (maybe it's already posted up didn't see it) Damon is in barrels.

Shaun tweeted back in Maybe August ? Sept ? Sometime last year he was brewing Damon.

Since Port & Double were in 375 i wonder if Bourbon will ditch the 500ml in favor of 375 or keep the 500. Questions, questions...

 

[Respirologist]

Hydrating and prepping barrels for Prolegomena and Damon. Tomorrow we brew Norma!
4:35pm - 6 Jan 14

from what I've heard HF will probably not use 375s any more

 

[GuzzleMcBrew]

Any insiders know if there is any hope for a BoT release next week? The ladyfriend and I will be spending Valentines weekend in Waterbury, would love to hit that sweet spot since last I heard it might be early an February drop.

I believe it was rumored to be a February bottling with potential release "months" later. Sorry man.

Why ?

 

[Number45]

Also, looks like Soigne limit dropped to 12 bottles pp. To all you neckbeards who've been buying up all the Soigne to necessitate this change just one day before I get back up there: **** you.

Rumor was 50 winners per day picking up Ann. 2 cases of Soinge per person 100 cases per day x Wed & Thur = 200 cases/ 2400 bottles went out the door in 2 days....

 

[ncaudle]

Why ?

not entirely sure. they sold all of their existing stock of 375s to Jackie Os a couple months ago

Yeah, I saw like 10 other people besides me picking up Ann and not a single one of us bought two full cases of Soigné, so I don't think that math is accurate.

I know averagjoe3 and his other carmates (3 total people) didn't even come close to maxing out on bottles.

 

[tehzachatak]

I used to max out every time when limits were 1 case pp and there was rarely more than one saison available at once. When I went up for Flora, three saisons available, and two case limits on two of them. I mean, I love HF saisons, but I do not need two cases of each one, even with trading...

I would buy 2 cases of certain Saisons like Flora and Soigne all day long. Others like Anna and Florence 1 case is enough for me. Something like Dorthy I probably won't even buy a case of again. I still have some from the Fall 2014 release.

It all really depends what is up there.

Lol if only

between the 3 of us i think we took 5 cases of beer total. Growlers, glassware, ann, dorothy, soigne

Weren't there like 4 or 5 of you packed into a single full-size sedan? I was shocked you had room for anything besides Flora bottles and growler fills!
