If anyone is going there, I will take a bottle. My daughter's birthday party is today, so there is no way I can go.

Cool AJ Fosik on the label

I recent discovered that my tattoo artist did a label for them (the name of the beer escapes me right now).

not totally sure I'm going but I'll let you know if I do

****, scotch BA Massive is great, not a peat bomb.

since it seems to be a fairly popular question, they currently have 2016 BA Massive bombers for $20 and 2017 BA Massive 500ml for $15.

...this year's 3 Way. Best since the Boneyard version.

I just couldn't get past the chalky finish of 2018. Also a few times I picked up diacetyl.

No doubt, it was super inconsistent. 2017 was far better.

Yeah, they can go **** themselves. Can't wait to hear about these gift boxes being for sale at the Alberta spot the week after.

 

[user 306349]

someone needs to brew the same thing and call it Cash Stack.

however, I'm going to be the voice of reason here - all together, it's not a bad deal.

breakdown of items and estimated value:
wood box: $15-20
glass: $15-20
beanie: $20-25
bottle opener: $15-25

that's between $65-90 without bottles, so each bottle would be between $17.50-30 which isn't god-awful if you consider Modem Tones as the only other real "big stout" dickswinger in town and some of us have paid their ridiculous prices when we're feeling it. the only real hangup I can tell is that you're forced to get all the **** with the beer, but there are worse issues than a planned holiday gift set release and word that only the bottles will be released at another time, likely for $25 or so which isn't all that bad nowadays.

signed, guy who isn't standing in line and doesn't want all the extra crap with the beer.

wood box

As if I didn't have enough beer related **** hanging around that my wife wants me to get rid of.

The day I spend $15-25 on a bottle opener is the day I kick my own ass.

Would you be interested in upgrading to a bottle opener that comes in a wood box for an additional $15-20?

Does the box make everything within 100 yards perpetually smell like fake maple like that God awful beer?

 

[chemman141]

Yeah, this is about as ****** as you can be as a brewery.

 

[abawol01]

No but it does take up space and come with a hat you'll never be caught dead wearing for an additional $25.

 

[FoudreGuy]

So $125 boxes this coming Saturday. Draft at some point in the future and maybe single bottles for sale later on.

This should be fun.

That hat is seriously so ugly.

 

[litheum94]

I know you're not from here, but you've lived here long enough to know that's not true.

 

[mborden1]

Now get THIS up on a hat and you have my attention

 

[FoudreGuy]

That hat is seriously so ugly.

Take off the pancake patch and it’s not that bad. I’ve got a Ft George beanie that’s similar and I wear it all the time when it’s cold out.

This box set is still stupid, though.

 

[abawol01]

I meant Nate specifically but it will be a good beacon to know who or who's boyfriend was sutid enough to buy this ****.

 

[domdomdomdom]

someone already turned their future box into $700 (minus cost, minus psychic pain of waiting in the cold for hours), so there's that

The entire secondary market for beer seems to be a group of about a dozen very rich, very dumb people who have no idea how to spend their money.

I remember liking Great Notion's branding when they made great non-adjunct IPAs and a few silly pastry sours and stouts. They seem to have completely lost the plot and the fact that they think this box is a good idea, well...

(WILL STAND IN LINE AND TRADE FOR LAMBICS THO)

One of those guys lives very close to me. It’s amazing how much beer that dude buys/acquires.

I still think the non-adjunct IPAs are fantastic. And I’m a sucker for anything with Guava in it.

Seattle beer Instagram is bonkers. Sheer volume some people around here acquire blows my mind - posts with $500+ of beer in it every weekend.

It will be on draft next week and in single bottles in a couple of months. Hopefully I have success with both. If not, I'll survive.

Wood buy

Yeah, no, none of that stuff is worth that much.
