Fellowcraft, the BA Brett Pale that was on draft tonight... drinking very nicely, but by Christ it smells like a public toilet

Do bottles / cans usually last? I'll be in Seattle on the 16th and hope to grab bottles + cans (really just want a bunch of Holy Light) before I head to Lake Crescent.

I also couldn't find a growler policy, hoping it's lax?

Will also be in town a few days after Olympic and hope to see some of you at Holy Mountain and Cloudburst.

Hoppy cans sell out immediately but the pilsners and lagers stick around for a while. Holy Light cans should still be there.

As for growlers, they normally offer 2-3 beers at any one time for fills. Those beers tend to be the low ABV pales, pilsners, White Lodge wit, etc. (no fills of sours, Midnight Still, tart saisons, big hazy juice bombs). I always use my 32 oz HM growler but I've seen people bring in non-HM branded ones without any issue. Cloudburst is the only WA brewery I know of that doesn't allow outside growlers.

That's the current taplist (with growler fill notes) as well as in-house/to-go bottles.

Lake Crescent is beautiful! I think I mentioned I'll be in Croatia until the 18th, but hope to meet up at HM when you're in town.

Mark it. June 18th. The day the Holy Light cans finally sold out.

Should have Three Fates back in July though, no? Figure they are brewing something fresh for Pils and Love.

One can only hope that pils will flow freely

 

[theLostWizard]

And it's back! That mug!

[andrewdrinks]

Love those mugs

 

[ggfunk]

So good.

 

[FoudreGuy]

I don’t need more glassware.

[wethorseblanket]

Anyone else in line? LOL JK I have a job and am not a loser. JK again! Waiting in line for beer at 8am on a Friday doesn't make you a loser. Just someone with interesting priorities.

 

[FoudreGuy]

Nope nope nopeity nope.

The amount of beer people are offering up for a single 500ml bottle of boozy raisins is pretty amazing/stupid/mindblowing/I dunno.

edit: At least 30 people in line at 8:30am I guess. NOPE.

 

[wethorseblanket]

Can you share some of the offers being made? I was considering trying to go after one after the dust settles. All I have are a bunch of SARA club bottles these "BiL" posers have probably never heard of.

 

[evanw1]

I will say, there are a surprising number of peeps with laptops out today, probably “working”...










(Note: “working” is code for posting numerous ISO:FTs for max allotments, cuz they were all misled into believing #BiL)

 

[wethorseblanket]

Maybe when my office moves to Fremont I can join in the WFBL life. (working from beer line)

-Field Blend Cherry, Field Blend Blackberry, Field Blend Raspberry, Nelson Hose and Hose OR Kriekenblossom, The Maison, Nelson Hose, Hose for two bottles.
-2015 BBA Mexican Cake, Tilquin Mure, Fou Foune, Vigneronne, West Ashley, Can Can, Maple Bourbon BA Imperial Mexican Biscotti Cake Break, Double Barrel Aged Imperial Mexican Biscotti Cake Break for two bottles.

The magnum offers just bum me out considering how few there are in existence and the effort FL goes through to ensure every member has a chance to buy one.

 

[andrewdrinks]

[swivelhips1]

[wethorseblanket]

Soon the line will wrap all the way to the front entrance of the taproom!

 

[jeevo]

lol

How many people is that? Never been to Seattle so I'm unfamiliar with Holy Mountain and their neighbors, but I always enjoy reading about beer release shenanigans.

That's pretty big. I think that's the largest HM line I've heard about.

Just to be clear, it’s not a real giant dog. That would be awesome though

 

[andrewdrinks]

Anyone coming down now should still be good. There’s a lot left.

Okay lads I think your window may have closed on this one

Did cans of Three Fates sell out? They are not listed on their website.

I don't think there were cans yet?

I had asked around for both the new pilsner mug (ISO) and cans, but was corrected that there cans have not been released. I've been checking their site and insta (their website sometimes has goodies when they don't announce on insta, e.g. Midnight Still to go in June), but haven't seen cans at all.

Ah, thanks for the clarification, this makes more sense.

HolyMtn - please do more casks. The cask of Well and Water on this afternoon is mind bendingly good.
