FW19 hit the Shore, too. Picked up a bottle yesterday. Gets more expensive every year.

Yeah, I bought the last bottle from Perfect Pour. It was pricey, but at least this vintage is good. Breakdown was something like 33% parabola, 33% Stickee Monkey, 16.6% merkin and then some ba brown ale for the last 16%. Drank it last night. Very enjoyable.

I was looking forward to it, based on the blend. I'm not a big Stickee Monkee fan, but I think it would be good in this blend.
I haven't really loved a FW Anny beer since 16, which had that classic FW coconut barrel character. Hoping this delivers.

I picked up a bottle from total wine a few days ago and it was 25 dollars before tax. Pretty pricey from a store that usually has the lowest. I think the 18th anniversary last year was about 20 bucks. I can imagine the FW 19 was about 30 bucks at Perfect pour, since they jack prices on everything especially limited stuff.

North Ridge Wine and Spirits has BCBC and BCBBW for sale. $17.99 per bottle was what I was quoted on the phone. Not buying one ******* bottle at that price. Y'all can have at it.

Anyone have another option with better pricing?

Here in MoCo I know that rip off joint Gilly's got in 36 bottles, did lottery to hand them out yesterday. 2 bottles per, I believe I saw $16 per bottle and not sure if that included County's outlandish taxes or not. I work about 10 minutes from there but never shop there so I did not bother heading over.

Downtown Crown in Gaithersburg releasing their bottles at 10am on Friday, and it sounds like they are also tapping a keg of regular as well.

 

[MooseLang]

**** this ****.

My local seems to get BCBS and BCBBW each year, and they have the best prices around. If they get it in, great. If not, **** it.

So, anybody that lives near Union, but doesn't give a **** about the barrel-aged gose cans they're releasing tomorrow, wanna pick me up some in exchange for a box of Carton and Other Half cans, plus maybe some other stuff we can work out later?

Have they done this before? I might have to swing by to get some if it is still available on Friday.

Anyone hear anything about when Sunday Morning stout will make its way into MD?

Not 100% positive, but I do believe it is hitting this week.

Union is releasing new Old(er) Pro barrel aged gose cans:


If anybody wants to hook me up with a can or two of each of the fruited variants I can send you stuff from NJ (Carton and Kane), NYC (Other Half, etc.), and maybe some stuff from Vermont if you're willing to wait a few weeks.

Gah - if that wasn't my daughter's 1st birthday, I'd make the drive to play some mini-golf and drink some gose. I believe the variants were limit 2 each and the cost was $10 per can.

 

[CoinStarChange]

That sounds like a tremendous day. All you can drink gose + mini golf?

I know thats what it was last time, so that seems probable. Honestly, a can of each would be amazing if anybody can spare it.

If I weren't going to Vermont the weekend before, I too would be happy to make the drive down for the event. That **** sounds really really fun.

I work 15 minutes from the brewery. If they decide to release any more there, I would be happy to send you a can of each. Good luck either way!

Balls. Gonna miss it by two weeks

Manor Hill is releasing 2 new cans this weekend, Passion Fruit IPA and the new Hidden Hopyard Series Volume 1 with Galaxy, Topaz and Enigma hops. I like their IPA out of the can, but wasn't a huge fan of the Citra Splendor, tasted pretty odd to me. Willing to give these 2 a shot though, what the hell. Looks like this time around a pretty sizable discount on cases, cost $75 for case ($12.50 a 4pk, versus $16 a 4pk individually). I am going to split a case of each with a couple buddies, so it works out.

I just posted a little rant about this in the random beer thoughts thread, but why do Burley Oak, Manor Hill and RAR need to do a release party for every beer they can? They all distribute. How about just canning them and sending them to the stores to which you distribute?

Better profits since there's no middleman? I dunno.

I get it. But it still annoying

 

[Beerontwowheels]

It helps create buzz and it gives them another reason to splash all over social media. Also helps to build a community type feeling. RAR and Manor Hill are relatively new. Not sure there's any reason not to hold a party, so long as their not losing money.

Now Burley Oak - meh. They came out strong years ago but I find most of their canned offerings to be rather underwhelming to just plain bad. Never buying another overpriced 6 pack of Secret Sauce.

Hard to argue, I agree completely.

I don't get the Burley Oak love. I have never had anything bad from them, but I have also never had anything that was more than "pretty good." That, couple with their prices....

Yeah, their stuff makes it down here to Montgomery County occasionally, but with expensive prices to begin with around here, then add on MoCo taxes and their stuff is ridiculously expensive. Small amounts too, 1 can a person sometimes, I usually pass on trying to track them down.

I understand they are jumping on the 16 oz limited can bandwagon, but they gotta keep themselves in the loop somehow i guess. Maybe they are trying to attract more customers since the limited release can thing is gaining a lot of popularity.

I was at RAR recently and asked about this. One of the owners told me they do the brewery only releases because they produce so few 16oz cans, therefore distribution would be pointless. I guess all the social media hype is to make sure word gets out and they sell their beers quick.

Until their production scales up, it'll stay like this

World of beer in Baltimore added an event called founder's release party. The description says that founders will actually be distributing to MD!
