I read a week or so ago that they are maxed out on production but want to release some new beers so hopefully this is just about trying to stretch out the number of beers they can brew in a single year rather than creating false scarcity or taking the people out of market to bring it back at a higher price.

Hope they don't take the ballast point approach.

Here comes the pineapple easy jack.
 
Local nearby bars are doing a Hopslam Bar Crawl.

1. I forgot Hopslam was even a beer.

2. If 5 bars on the list=5 pours of Hopslam than that could equal a complete shitshow for a large portion of the crawlers.

May have to investigate this further.

Six or seven years ago, a friend threw herself a birthday party. This also happened to be one of the years that Bells released Hopslam in their mini-kegs. She thought that would be a great idea, and I was all for it. Unfortunately, I think one other person at the shindig took a pour, so her and I basically split the thing.

That was not a good idea.

I solo'd a mini keg in between shoveling runs during a 12 hour blizzard. I was off work the next day. No big deal.

I still have a mini keg from that run. Has to be such baarleywine by now.

The equivalent of a little over 14 12oz 10% IPAs in a day.

I could probably hang.

"We don't have enough space to make all the beers we want! What should we do?"
"Let's discontinue all of these underselling 4-packs/bombers. We can clear space that way."
"Problem! No one actually buys those. It's just the same beer sitting on the shelves from back when we first brewed it."
"Crap! Well I guess our next best strategy is to skip brewing one of the best beers we make."

"Slow down, first we need to outproduce projected sales, let the new stock get as old as possible so it doesn't sell either."

"We could get around this for a smaller margin than usual (buybcks) or we could risk not only sales, but our reputation on leaving expired product literally everywhere."

"I'm not following you. "
