and most merch was stuff left over from pervious release, no new glasses for sale, and no xxl shirts in the old or new style. That brand runs small so having xxl for xl people is a must if he's gonna continue to use "canvas" as the brand for the t shirts. Sporadic was a limit to it said "member beer" but if guests were allowed to buy those beers I can see how they would run out pretty quick... The whole bring 1-2-3 guest I think will be an issue in the future esp for that space.

I'm a 5'10" 188 lb 33 yr old man. A large t-shirt should not look like body paint. My wife has two Transient shirts now.

A large t-shirt should not look like body paint.

Amen to that.
My nipples should not be the highlighting design of their t-shirts... nobody wants that...

Get your shirt game together Transient.

 

[maximthegreat]

I like Canvas shirts. Nice to see breweries actually using good quality shirts.

 

[disapowzment]

Maybe it's the multiple glasses of dessert wine talking but what if for future releases we go all 1950s Mobile, Alabama and have a "members only" line and a "guests". I'm just spitballing here.

This has potential. Could you elaborate on what else could be done?

Beer Info from the release-

Sporadic #1- Open Fermented/Barrel Aged Wild Saison- 7%abv Brewed January 2014. This is a saison using spelt, oat, wheat, vienna and munich malt. A little bit darker in color, almost orange, with a firm acid profile.

Sporadic #2- Open Fermented/Barrel Aged Wild Saison- 5%abv Brewed in March 2014. Light, spritzy sour saison utilizing a large portion of unmalted wheat, for a rustic graininess. Similar grainbill to a traditional Lambic, hopped with whole leaf cascade harvested locally in a friend's back yard.


Also pretty cool to note:
With the raffle and your generous tips, we raised over $1150 dollar for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, far surpassing our last 2 release events.

I feel like Chris tapped Sporadic #1 at the release despite saying it was #2, b/c that description doesn't match the one I tried at all. Maybe I got poured the wrong thing?

That's a fantastic amount of money for that size event. Chris should consider crowd-sourcing more bottles and really getting after it at one of these. To raise that kind of money with King Henry, Prop, & a 4 pack of Enigma along with tips, I bet many of us have something in the cellar that could help raise money more than it would help our drinking habits.

(side note: Doug McDermott has missed 3 straight layups. Layups. Son. of. a. bitch.)

I agree with this.

I was a bit drunk though.

I put up $300 worth of raffle tix up for the prop, atleast

 

[sleuthdog]

Forgot to try and find sluethdog... fail

I wasn't there…couldn't make it.

 

[mychalg91]

Drinking a Sporadic #2 Bourbon right now. Mouthwatering goodness...

 

[tinypyramids1]

skulled an oaked obelus: galaxy today. if you like obelus, and you like a moderate amount of oak with a hint of fruitiness, you will like this beer.

 

[SSTroller]

Finally opened a Sporadic #2 Wine. Damn tasty! Like most of his beers, I can see it getting even better with a few months on it.

 

[Chest Rockwell]

Drank a Wine Sporadic 1 tonight. Wow. Great ******* beer.

 

[jakeox]

What the hell guys? I thought we were supposed to hype these up and trade them, not drink them. Jeez. It's like nobody here knows how a reserve society is supposed to work.

I have only traded for Transient beers, dat pentameter doe

 

[adschus]

ISO: Pentameter.

 

[tinypyramids1]

am i the only one who thought pentameter was promising but needed time? full disclosure: only tasted on tap at release event, have not opened a bottle.

 

[Treebs]

I agree as well. I'll be sitting on my bottle for another 6 months or so probably.

 

[adschus]

Tried it from a bottle and yes, Penta will only get funkier with age.

Count me in this group as well. Like Treebs, I won't be opening another till Summer.

Treebs,
Looked like you enjoyed the Oaked Obelus. Did it carb up fine, and is ready to drink?

It sure did. It was a banger, but I'm sucker for Galaxy hops.

Likewise! Looks like its going in the fridge tonight

Definitely with you on the draft. It seemed to have a lot of unfermented sugar in it. I'd hope it would dry out over time.

 

[adschus]

What's inside?

 

[Scalzo]

Buckley. ..
