Official Transient Artisan Ales Thread

I was pondering starting my drive to NJ for the holidays early tomorrow evening so I could pick up some Transient hops on the way out ... but I'd have to be out the door by 5pm in order to be sure of making it there before they close at 8 and I can't be positive I will.

What I'm saying is that I'm mad that Transient is in the eastern time zone making this stop unlikely for me. I feel that as a member they should accommodate my time zone preferences and stay in central time.

Unacceptable.

They need that ambiguous time zone variance like West Lafayette had back when I was in school where the time never changed. Half the year on eastern and half the year on central. It was gloriously nonsensical.

To those people complaining about the (edit: Michigan) membership, don't sign up again so someone that will appreciate it can become a member. If you frequently buy beer there, the 10% discount easily makes up for the difference in the price of the membership.

Of course, if a component of a membership involves a discount on drafts and cans/bottles-to-go I would hope I was close enough to be able to visit on a fairly regular basis.

Wow how many cases of cans did Transient just sell in 3 hrs?

 

[kodt]

People on Facebook wishing for them to be the next Treehouse. Do you really want to wait in line for all their cans from now on? Cmon people.

 

[nsh221]

now that i can no longer get to the taproom regularly i am happy they are getting this crazy. or just happy that people are excited for the beers. good work.

From the sounds of it, JiL sold out yesterday evening.

When you have people buying 5-10+ cases at a time, it disappears quickly.

Selfishly, I really enjoyed the quiet releases with no lines earlier this year but businesses have to make money to survive, grow, and expand. Congrats to Transient for their well earned success!

I've never understood what someone does with 100-200 pints of beer meant to be drank as fresh as possible.

 

[nsh221]

i was thinking the same thing. i do all sorts of foolish justifications in my head to make spending too much on beer okay, but the idea of dropping five hundred dollars or more on cans of ipa is a stretch. unless four-packs are gonna be stocking stuffers for all the nieces, nephews and assorted youngins.

I suspect that there were people picking it up for others in exchange for thank you beers and $$$.

 

[joe1]

yea most of the people i seen getting 5+ got the hell out of town right away. no bottles or draft pours.. sad!

that's what sucks about that process the most...

In actuality, we only had a handful of people buy more than 3 cases, and imposed a limit much earlier on. In the future we will likely start with a limit of some sort, and narrow it down as we go (for Juice at least). This was our largest yield yet, and it lasted nearly as long as the last batch (which went out on Thursday and lasted till about 1-2pm on Saturday), so everyone still had 2 full days to get some. Now it is on for growler fills and there may be a surprise for all you Illinois types out there before the end of the year...

Thanks for clarifying. Reality is different than what you read on the internets.

You accidentally used the word "Sometimes".

Don't you have more beer to brew or something?

Are you planning on being open normal hours next Fri and Sat? And are you guys planning on closing shop for the month right after the New Year?
Bro in law is in town and was hoping to persuade him to take the drive over before the taproom closes down.

 

[Transient1]

We will have normal hours on the 30th, but will shorten our hours on the 31st (it's my girlfriend's birthday, who is also our bartender). We will announce that when we figure it out.

As for January, we will be open on Saturday's. My assistant brewer, Brendan, offered to keep things running once a week, so we won't be completely closed down.

This erection that BA'd Neckbeard is giving me is making X-Mas Eve around the in-laws very awkward...

forever ISO Pentamater b1 and Oak Aged Obelus: Galaxy

Bummed that I missed out on the Double Barrel Obelus with Galaxy Dry Hop (assuming that's what you're referring to).

I had ordered a bottle in addition to the rest of the Michigan Society releases, but when my proxy picked everything up, he was given a second bottle of regular Double Barrel Obelus, instead of the Galaxy hopped one, and didn't know to check. Womp womp.
