Official Holy Mountain Thread

[Podunkparte]

I keep seeing lots of WA people who've never had B1K before. Just checked Untappd and I've had it like six times over the years.

They didn't know Barleywine is life until HoG came out

 

[FoudreGuy]

Ah. That would explain the complete lack of a line for B1K. And OG Rusty.

 

[NAD1983]

Enjoyed it more than b2 A-A-ron

Not a fan.

And OG Rusty.

Dat skull.

 

[Podunkparte]

Dat skull.

But those skull variant colors!

 

[NAD1983]

But those skull variant colors!

I found the pink skulls to be the best variant.

Those are the ones that went to space, right?

I honestly prefer this over nothing. I've tried to get this thread going in the past to no avail.

How do we know when a thread is "going"? Drama? Threats? Bans and rage quits?

This thread may be slower than some other brewery threads, but if you go back I think you'll find plenty of discussion about releases and also how the beer tastes.

Please tell me you convinced Martin of this

More activity than OMG Guava Table! And then 5 gifs or out of town people saying ISO.

I can get that level of conversation on the Grams 50 times a day. Where else can I talk about the intricacies of the skull variants on Rusty b1?

 

[Tooch4321]

Crystal Ship had me sailing away. That **** was aces...

Anyone willing to grab me a Volume 12 bottle on Saturday? Gotta go to Eugene for a family funeral, otherwise I'd be in line. Can pay with cash and thank you beers (should have time to stop by 16 Tons or Bier Stein for some Claim 52 cans if nothing else). No worries if not, but figured it doesn't hurt to ask.

Oh man. I plan on rolling by sometime after the line starts moving to scope the scene. If I end up with an extra I will let you know. With no line share on busy 45th and people not driving in from all over for one bottle I am hoping for a tame release.

Thanks man. I'm guessing it's gonna be crazy even with the completely reasonable "don't be a ******* *******" request from the dudes at Bottleworks.

Taking a bottle of Abscission to share with relatives at the memorial gathering after the service. That should be nice.

FWIW, and although I only saw this mentioned in Bottleworks's post, Brouwer's should have Vol. 12 on draft as well as in-house bottles. Not sure if those will still be offered after the weekend or what.

You will be able to enjoy bottles at Brouwer’s and also on draft for their anniversary party the same day (starting at noon).

Yeah, saw that. We'll see if it lasts!

Not a big fan of Brouwers' in House bottle prices, or in house bottle pricing in general but it serves its purpose.

 

[FoudreGuy]

So how crazy was the line this morning?

 

[NAD1983]

Easy Peasy.

Showed up when they opened at 10 and had bottles in hand by 10:45. Sold out ~10 people after me.

My buddy's comment to Greg when he checked out: "HM should outsource all releases to you guys."

 

[wethorseblanket]

Wow what? I rolled by around 10 as well and the line seemed well over 200 people so I bounced.

ISO: Vol. 12
FT: Abscission

We showed up at 10 AM exactly. I counted to 165ish but apparently we were more like 190 with cutting and coffee shifts.

 

[FoudreGuy]

ISO: bottle dregs
FT: sadness and despair

 

[evanw1]

I'm just glad they had 3pp limits so that some people could get cases vis a vis their "friends". I headed down to Brouwer's for a couple pours after missing out on bottles – pretty solid brew #veryberry

 

[FoudreGuy]

Got back from Oregon late last night, just ran three miles in the rain for a pour of Volume 12.

Worth it. Still gotta run home.

Today? If so, I may need to swing by...

Yep. Best $5 I've spent all day.

 

[FoudreGuy]

Just saw on Untappd that the last keg blew 15 minutes ago.

 

[NAD1983]

We got purple Actavis, I thought it was a drought.

 

[FoudreGuy]

What were they charging for in-house bottles?

 

[NAD1983]

$25

 

[waltersrj]

$25

That's not bad.
