How's it tasting out of the bottle? The draft pour that I had was a bit over oaked and a hint too boozy - similar to the complaints I had about the draft version of Bad Hombre. Bad Hombre is excellent out of the bottle, so I'm hoping that translates to Kentuckley also.

I certainly did not find the bottle over-oaked or boozy. To the contrary, what I enjoy most about Kentuckley for the second straight year is that it is balanced. I have not had it in draft but am curious to try.

I was not aware of this but agree with you on the draft.. so now I gotta open me some bottles.
 
Opened both versions an Agnitio yesterday. Stellar beers: dry, brett-y, clean, crisp. Not tart, which I was originally afraid of because some of Chris' saisons veer too far into that acidic tart territory. Both were excellent, and nearly identical. The Hailstorm version was a big gusher, I lost 1/4 of the bottle. The Transient version was perfectly carbonated.

If I had to choose which one was better, it would be like splitting hairs, but I'd probably give the slight edge to Hailstorm over Transient's version, only because there seemed to be more brett presence and created a more drier product (at this point).

The Hs version is what won the Fobab award as well.

i agree with this review completely, though neither of the bottles i opened were gushers.
 
Juice is Loose drop today, along with the Czech pilsner they released yesterday

Juice was draft only, my wife and I stopped in today with our dog after hanging out at the warren dunes beach for 4 hours. After I took my first sip of refraction (which was amazing) our dog knocked my glass over and it shattered on the floor. I got up bought a few bottles and cans, closed out, and left lol.

I'm amazed by parents and dog owners that can manage to keep their little ones under control in a restaurant/bar. The dog was not happy to be anywhere other than her own bed and thus made me pay. Sorry Chris, party foul!

It's ok someone with little kids did that one Sat when I was there.

Also yeah Cans were Pils only no Juice cans, why I questioned it because I thought I missed something, lol.
 
Wouldn't take much ? I would if I were him? Someone profiting off your stuff...nah
if you're going to do it for one guy selling Kentuckley and then you're gonna have to do it for everybody that puts juice is loose out there for $40 a four pack I agree with Scalzo not worth the time it's not going to deter people from doing it in the future

I would do it for everyone I saw but I guess that's me, my values and beliefs. I guess until you make something and someone else is reselling it for profit, greater than yours....people wouldn't understand. It wouldn't take a whole lot to figure it out but I digress.

Find the people's names. Don't sell to them. Eventually it would work. If you create a culture of this being ok then it's always going to be ok.

It won't ever work completely. It just won't. Sure, take precautions to try and minimize it, by all means. But don't kid yourself into thinking you'll stop it completely.
 
FWIW, I don't have any problems or qualms about selling beer.

But I know Chris asked us not to sell his beer, so I don't. And I largely had never seen any of his beer hit the website specific sale places (Facebook.. different story)

For profit or just helping friends out who couldn't make a release, etc ?
 
What are you on about? I largely don't go to releases anymore.
Oh you said you don't have any problems with selling beer. My thing is if anyone was like here is this four pack of juice is loose , you owe me 35-40$ , I'd tell them to get bent...

Exactly, it just becomes cumbersome and unfair. He would have to ban anyone who trades their Transient beers too
The same guy could have traded his kentuckley for a similarly valued beer and sold that beer without violating his policy, yet it really is literally the same thing and is just as bad.

I think the clause is there just to condone the behavior and culture. Thats the best approach IMO. Also helps to put it out there in case there is a repeat shitlord or two.

i'm pretty sure (and please do correct me if i'm wrong because i think it was years ago) chris posted that if he discovered a society member was selling bottles for profit their membership would be revoked. dunno if his stance has changed since.

This is what we are talking about lol
 
Wouldn't take very much effort to track down the dude on CCBE that posted the last IL allocation of bottles for sale at $25/bottle under the guise of a "cellar" sale. Cellar just got crazy over the last couple months apparently. Also appears to be 67% appreciation on those bottles in that same amount of time. Pretty bold strategy to just throw all that up for sale above cost with your name on it.
