I tried clicking submit 1 minute after the hour & it was already sold out so you didnt miss much.

People were still able to buy both 20 minutes later.

Actually, the same thing happened to me. When I clicked 'submit' right after the hour I got a message that said "the contents of the store have changed" or something similar, and it removed the d'cherry from my cart. Then I went back like 5 minutes later and it was up again. Not sure why it disappeared briefly.

That happened solely to screw with DenverBeerDrinker who had the items in his cart prior to 10am MTN

Good to know. I got faked out by the fact that it looked sold out after I got the denial message upon checkout. At least its only one additional bottle I'm missing out on.

So, any word on 2014 glassware? 22oz Snifter?

Most of ya's probably already know this, but the old Barrel Cellar taproom is now re-opened on Friday 4-8pm and Saturday 12-8pm. The idea was to bring back it back for Cellar Reserve members, locals, industry folks, friends, and all those who've said they've missed it.

See ya there!

Can't wait to buy 10 more bottles on Monday!

To cheer you up, I've got 6 unique homebrews bottled up and waiting for you when we ship boxes out your way. ****, might even have a bottle of my Heart of Darkness mead clone ready to go too (Note: this is my first batch of homebrewed mead and I've never even tasted HoD...but yeah, I 'cloned' it...lol)

Excited to see what you and Tarheel4985 think of them.

Bottles are up. Technical difficulties seem to be over.

If by "technical difficulties" you mean Nexternal-ish lagfest on CS's site, well...I'd say they're still having problems.

 

[FishPondManager]

Buncha eager beavers crashing the site? Seemed there wasn't much doubt whether or not there'd be plenty. I mean, they capitalized EVERY

Opened a persica blend 1 yesterday that was amazing.

Opened a persica blend 1 yesterday that was amazing.

I had the same experience last week. The bottle had lots of fresh peach and a beautiful tartness. I think there is a lot of variation at this point though. The bottle I opened two weeks before that was not good at all. It tasted like a mediocre saison with no peach to be found. Also, the bottles were stored next to each other since I got them, so storage isn't the issue.

Yeah I was shocked at how much fresh peach was still there. And lots of funk. I never tried the first batch but I have to imagine the bottle I opened yesterday is similar to what people raved about.

 

[bathroomlaughter]

drinking a blend 1 right now. reaaaal gooooood. i am surprised to see that the reviews are not getting better for the persicas. they've both been great for months now.

 

[bathroomlaughter]

but i guess midwesterners have no investment in this beers rating so there's no reason to spam it with perfect reviews
