Official Holy Mountain Thread

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?

They're gone.

 

[andrewdrinks]

Thanks. I still headed over and did a few pours - and a Grey Tower to myself. That's a high-quality beer. Could pass for a Civil Disobedience.

Anyone try True Will from the bottle yet? Zero action on Untappd.

 

[NAD1983]

No fruit, no care

"This beer sounds awful." - Someone on BTS who "attends every release." Remember, we are talking about an oak aged saison, not a Fernet barrel aged amber ale with peppercorns and lime juice. To each his own...

 

[coldstorage]

Sounds lovely to me, too bad it didnt drop during the two weeks I was in Seattle in the last month.
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride

 

[FoudreGuy]

No saturday line no care apparently.

I haven't had time to hit HM this week. Hopefully I can swing by tomorrow for a bottle.

I liked this beer very much at release but I'm absolutely loving it now. Fruit hasn't faded at all; oddly enough, the peach somehow tastes more pronounced. Glad I have one left!

 

[NAD1983]

Misere cases???!?!?!??

 

[evanw1]

If 'GRIS' is short for Grisette, then it's definitely a good guess. Back at this year's anny party, one of the bartenders had mentioned Misère b2 was coming soon – hopefully this is it!

(Someone on Holy Mtn's FB page was speculating that it was MS variants, but the box clearly says 750 ML...)

 

[swivelhips1]

But the bottles in the background look smaller than 750...

NAD1983, I think this is where you post the WRONG.gif?!

(From my perspective, those bottles look to have the shape of a 750 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

I believe you are correct, looks to be 750s. I'll switch it up this time and share a piece of Seattle beer history:

#neverforget

 

[wethorseblanket]

Good bet on Misere. Unless Gris refers to some sort of Pinot Gris barrel or something.

why would they write "gris" on 750mL box of bottles and have it be an MS variant? people are dumb. speaking of...did that dude joe get kicked out of BTS for constantly lying about stuff or did he leave? he seemed like one of the elite crew.

pls be true pls be true pls be true pls be true

 

[evanw1]

Say it ain't so! Without Joe in the group, how the hell will anyone know what hyped PNW bottles even trade for?!?!

 

[wethorseblanket]

yeah, the seattle trade market is in complete disarray without his insights and valuations.

 

[evanw1]

I will say, I hope that Misere doesn't drop at the same release as any MS variants. I don't wanna wait in a stoopid long line for that mixed ferm goodness. I also assume there's zero chance b2 sees distro like last time, unless of course they change things up and make it a white-label this time.

[wethorseblanket]

You were nominated for #1 troll of BTS. That's gotta feel good.

 

[FoudreGuy]

Don't ******* release Misere while I'm in Morocco for two weeks. I can live without MS variants, but Misere noooooooooooo......

One of us will take care of you. That beer will sit for days. Unless, the vocal minority of us constantly referring to it as the best beer they've ever bottled actually compels people to come after it in droves. Doubtful. No fruit. Not a stout.

 

[beerscenes]

Seems like I'll be able to open my last bottle of Misere b1 soon.

 

[abawol01]

Processionary is really good. Also, the ESB is legit.

 

[FoudreGuy]

Ridiculously psyched about Test of Time, the IPA they brewed for the 30th Anniversary of Latona Pub (my local neighborhood spot).

 

[swivelhips1]

Just bought a blend 3 grey tower off the shelf. And some fresh 3 magnets cans that are new to me. Love visiting Seattle!

Small city.
