We got there at 9:45. Bottles in hand at 1:30.

Whole lot of people who got bottles and GTFO, despite the cool list of tap variants.

In the parlance of our times: that rum BA Buckley was straight fire, yo.

Yes the rum one was by the far the best out of all the selections on draft in my opinion. Also, the basic Buckley was quite swell.

By far the busiest ever here, I've been here all day.... Chris recently opened batch 1 Buckley and it was delicious as ever. Congrats to a successful day!

 

[SecretSquirrel]

Buckley Ultra at 6% abv was a nice treat in a day of 13% stouts lol

Shitlords out in full force for whatever was released today. Kentuckley, Buckley and Bark Lord, I guess? $100/bottle. Yay beer.

Any other variants get tapped? Chris told us Chocolate Buckley was in the chamber but not enough people were helping to finish off the kegs there.

I thought Shut Up Nerds (Double Maple + Vanilla) was enjoyable although I expect it was probably too sweet for many peeps

We showed up around 1:20 local time today.

Only Buckley bottles left for non reserves. I did pick up some Hyper Drive and De Chaunac Maigre (that beer is a gem)

Still a killer tap list though... Basic Buckley and Bark Lord were my winners. This year's regular Buckley is top tier. This year's Kentuckley had a nose issue for me but drank amazing still. Excited to try a bottle side by side with last years.

Chris and Rachel are killing it.

 

[Scalzo]

My only gripe is that I couldnt take off work to be there at the party, that wasnt enough notice... one week?

 

[Alum]

I don't think I would have wanted to be at the party based on turnout.

All that said, I swear we got a heads up to keep the day clear in IL member emails a few weeks back

he's been doing short notice due to his size, can you imagine if he posted weeks in advance what he was doing? The ran straight till about 7pm not stopping once just continuing to swipe credit cards...

Edit: disregard this, was obviously mistaken....

It is what it is, 2-3 weeks shouldnt be too hard.
A heads up or something would have been nice. I'd imagine something like,

"hey members, thinking of having a big party/bottle release around Memorial day weekend"
"might want to request off work, or clear your schedules"

People are extremely busy and a weeks notice is not enough for most. Its not a huge deal, but hopefully we will get notice farther in advance.
I figured I just missed out on emails or whatever, or a facebook post, twitter post. etc. because I suck at communicating, but apparently not. I talked to a few people and they had similar situations. Couldnt get off work/ or had prior engagements but would have loved to gotten to drink up there with everyone and enjoy the party/celebration.

Pretty crazy how much money Chris was able to raise for charity - awesome stuff as usual. really cool to see him giving back.

From the May 1st membership email, subject line Illinois Members (First release info and Michigan Wild Ale Release) (also in the MI members email sent the same day):

2017 Buckley and 2016 Kentucky
As many of you know, our beloved brew dog Buckley is turning 3 years young at the end of the month. As before, we will be celebrating our brewery's mascot with the release of his namesake beer and the bourbon barrel aged version (along with many variants on tap). The release will take place the last Saturday of the Month and (so long as this reservation system works well for Anachronism) we will be doing something similar for those beers. This years batch and last years barrel aged version were made in Michigan, and that is where they will stay. None will be released in Illinois as we do not yet have permission to distribute across state lines.

It was the last paragraph of the email.

I am going tomorrow and could help you out, if you are still looking for someone. I won't be able to ship out until 6/9 at the earliest but am happy to pick up, if you don't mind waiting until then.

Anyone know the deal with filling 750ml swingtop growlers with other brewery logos? Is that allowed?

I'm not positive, but I don't think it's a big deal. I've taken a 2L RR swingtop in there a couple times, and while they weren't filling any growlers both times (FML), they didn't say anything about not being able to fill it anyway.

I'm sure someone has a more definitive answer though.

If my memory isn't failing, I'm pretty sure I've gotten Hill Farm 750's filled before.

 

[Unbreakabolt]

I've definitely had Hill 750 growlers filled.

FYI: Transient will fill other brewery's growlers. They also had those funky looking HF/RR 2L growlers that were so hot a few years ago with Transient logos available in addition to their branded 750mL.

Honeystone cans sold out sometime before I got there Sunday. I thought that can release was suppose to be a bigger batch than previous, so was surprised to see it last less than a day.

This would be so scary. I dip work around noon/one on Fridays and could make it over/drink and get back before my wife gets off of work.

Some quiet time and thought I'd kick off my Father's Day celebration.

This was great. Clean, crisp, and refreshing. I had high hopes for this and while it was on the mild side, the hope was met. Thanks again PHBoiler for picking them up for me.

Happy Father's Day to the fellow Dads here.

 

[TheBus]

Keeping the Transient vibe going.
