Clearance bin $3, sadly just these two.

**** I miss them

Jack d'Or was always one of my favorite beers to get in a box when I was trading heavily back in the day.

DAT ROGUE HAZELNUT NECTAR!

Please tell me what beer it is so my friend Chris can send me one to review.

Don't tease us like that, out with it!

It was one of the Penrose "ambassadors" on untappd (that's his job title from the website and no I have no idea WTF it means). I have heard other members of their company express displeasure with untappd and similar rating websites on Beer Temple Insiders Roundtable.

Regardless of what they think about folks using untappd though, I would think that "ambassador" would put you in a position to maybe describe the damn beer you just released rather than use a hashtag.

Biggest regret was only buying a couple of bottles when Beer Rev had cases of the stuff after it all went tits up.

They were great and I love their art. Weirdly I get their vibe off of Prairie. Must be the saisons.

I saw some Firestone Luponic Distortion cans today and wanted to buy them but figure they'd be months old since Firestone is always old on the west coast...

Nine days old!!! I bought a sixer. Tastes so good fresh.

I was going through my phone, lots of photos of the snow and this. Weird to see Casey on the shelf

Kindly travel back to that time and buy a few more for me if you would.

God damn. That story starts in one ridiculous place and then transitions to another entirely ridiculous place.

Correct.

That makes it sound so... failure-y. Didn't they voluntarily close up shop to move on to different things?

I honestly have no idea. I assume they just weren't selling enough to make it worth it or to even keep the place open. My main evidence behind that theory was when Dan went on his probably drunken buttthurt rant online about the pay to play in bars around Boston. I think he was just really butthurt that no one seemed to want his **** on draft that much.

I ended up licking it off my shelf

Now, I'll admit to having slurped up a counter spill once or twice of something really rare, but I sure as **** wouldn't do it with the possibility of glass shards being anywhere in the liquid.

Taken from an article I just found:

The Paquettes didn’t offer a reason for why they decided to close after seven years, other than to say “it’s time to draw the curtains and head off to a new adventure.

The article mentioned it was a year after the whole "pay to play" rant, but there's no evidence of any correlation.

And also chased out of the country is my understanding.

Owner/brewer blew the whistle on social media about the pay to play tap situation in Boston. It ended up in a multi million dollar fine to the distributor, Craft Beer Guild of MA.

It is my understanding, some of the investors in some of the restaurants were none too pleased and Dann was made well aware of this. Dann smartly packed up shop and headed back to Europe.

Pay to play is pervasive and The main reason I don't support any of the ABInbev acquisitions.

Looking forward to the infected Handjee rumors.

At least it left a heart-shaped dry spot on the shelf, gotta look on the bright side.
