Jumping on the release hype train. Sunday we release a Sweet Stout brewed with Count Chocula, it's dumb as **** but Leona's is making a special sandwich to pair with it.

So forced purchase of merchandise you most likely won't want to get bottles? Or am I reading that wrong?

now this one i am very excited for. that's a pretty smooth stout off the bat so it can go either way after being in barrles. i work close to there too so it won't be a major inconvenience to pick up.

that's how i read it. i didn't think it was anything special last year and won't be making 2 trips over there to buy it for $30, so there's one more allotment to go around.

I was part of the blending tasting panel, so if it sucks, you can blame me partially. It's definitely not a big massive sweet stout like something from Voodoo. It does have a ton of complexity though. For me it had a lot of Port qualities to it. Looking forward to this one for sure.

Not happy. Calling ******** on that ploy.

 

[Dogleg1]

Meh, don't think it's priced badly. Going a la carte, the bottles would likely be $20 each, at least $10 for the glass (think the last few glasses for releases were $14), and the remaining $5 - $10 for a bag and chocolates which not many us likely want. So if you don't care about the extra stuff, you're only getting jipped $20.

The good thing about the package aspect is that is should really speed up the check out process.

I had the same thought, but you know, certified hypeman here for BG. I would typically buy the glass anyways and the chocolates I am ok with too.

I think this is the important piece of information. Voodoo is not known for quality issues in their regular lineup, so I'd assume the "all clear" has been sounded going forward unless I hear otherwise.

I wish they'd do another run of cowbell cans as I loved the batch they did in April.

Pretty sure cowbell is a once a year brew

Was buying a glass anyways so I'm cool with a package deal.

Some yinzers who drink beer on the FB don't seem happy. Wish I could make it. Love chocolate and would like to try double Mex again

ISO: Chocolate

or a 3rd bottle of DoubleMex ... ISO: DoubleMex - FT: chocolate bar, tote bag and a glass

My opinion counts

Depending on the glass design, we can call this tentatively closed.

Make sure you get to a doctor if your erection lasts longer than 4 hours.

 

[dtx00]

Someone refresh my memory for the price of bottles last year? $12? $15?

This also screws over people who bring a bunch of mules, since they presumably wouldn't be too excited about having to get half a dozen glasses, bags, and chocolates. Seems like a check in the positive column.

I bet those chocolates are amaze.
