Stopped in today on my vacation and loved Sortition and Gray Tower. Delicious stuff.

 

[wethorseblanket]

I'm in line.

I'm in line.

How many? On my way, but considering pours first.

 

[wethorseblanket]

I'm bad at estimating but there are about 20 people past the taproom door. Not too long.

 

[FoudreGuy]

I ended up running to Reuben's for some Rye Crush cans. A buddy snagged me a Raise the Dead bottle.

 

[rrrjjj]

Both bottles are solid, but five of swords is king!

 

[wethorseblanket]

Draft line was too long. I went to the gym. Gonna shower and maybe head back with my girlfriend. Need that five of swords.

20ish cases of each left. No lines and everything is still on tap. Swing on in!

LOL @ people waiting in line for pours and bottles #FOMO.... Sorry wethorseblanket

I had to (carefully) run back home to Green Lake so I could mow the lawn. And I don't like currant beers, so I'm happy with RtD bottle.

 

[wethorseblanket]

Four bottles of Corinth left. Decent amount of Raise the Dead. Both still on tap.

Twin Peaks glass! Perfect timing for season three on Sunday.

ISO!!!

 

[wethorseblanket]

Admittedly, I'm a Twin Peaks n00b. I just started the series for the first time this week, although I've seen many Lynch films. I still rushed over to grab these glasses though.

 

[FoudreGuy]

I was in mid to late elementary school when Twin Peaks fever struck. We used to go up to North Bend on weekends for that cherry pie at the diner. My parents had the soundtrack and my mom even let me stay up and watch the show with her. But not Fire Walk With Me. I didn't get to see that until I was in high school.

 

[wethorseblanket]

Yeah, I was 10 in 1990. I remember my mom had a few episodes taped from TV on VHS. I never bothered to watch it.

 

[alxrlnn]

My BIL picked me up some White Lodge glasses. Best BIL ever. That is all.

Any ideas what this cryptic post is about? Perhaps a release this Saturday? Or maybe one of those non-fruited bottles they'll just put out on the shelf randomly one day?!

Gimme a no-hype, mixed ferm saison!

 

[wethorseblanket]

People are already "ISO" or "FT" this weekend's so-far non-existent allotment of bottles. I hope this is announced day of as the only bottle. I hope people are scrambling to cancel or make plans surrounding a release that may or not exist, and I hope they get disappointed when there isn't one.

 

[evanw1]

What they should really do is have this be similar to the 'Currant state of the brewery' post (hinting at the brew that eventually became Corinth), and not release the bottle until over a year later. I'd be A-ok w/ that.

 

[FoudreGuy]

Just release it at the same time as Rusty Nail. I like to watch the world burn.

 

[FoudreGuy]

And there you go. Two bottles this Saturday at noon. I love it.

 

[wethorseblanket]

These beers sound dope. I be there.

I'm not a huge fan of Flanders Reds, but Sacrament sounds awesome. Maybe I'll just get a pour of the Flanders.

 

[FoudreGuy]

I bagged waiting in line for bottles but popped in around noon for the new beers on draft. They were both pretty fantastic and much more complex than I was expecting. Ended up liking Anchoress way more than Sacrament, too. Not sad for a minute that I didn't wait in line for bottles, though. Sounds like Rusty Nail didn't detract people from turning out around 9:30 for a spot in line.

I hope someone didn't really show up at 5am.

 

[NAD1983]

No joke, 5 ******* AM. Zero lines for me at both places around 2 pm. People are dumb.

 

[wethorseblanket]

LOL. While I did wait for maybe a half hour at Holy Mountain, showing up at Fremont around 2:45ish was a smart idea. I can't believe people lined up for Rusty so early.

They brought in the remaining cases of Anchoress and Sacrament into the taproom right as we were leaving.

I've been off-grid most of the week I've been in SEA so missed this (lucked into Rusty as I went for a beer in the sun yesterday afternoon). I assume those two HM beers were both done yesterday?
