Wow, that’s some first class entitlement on FB. #insidertrading

Thank you for posting this. ******* dumbshits on Facebook. Probably only go to Holiday for special releases.

 

[user 306926]

Wow. Just reading some of that from some of the worst.

I haven't been to Holiday since 8 Degrees opened up. I don't miss it most of the time.

Also, anyone ever hit up Steve's Party Store. Guy gets a lot of good stuff. He's swimming in inventory and lots stacked on the floor. Interesting little spot in Hamtramck.

That Holiday post is glorious. It has it all: conspiracy theories, people calling to raise the price so it doesn't sell out immediately, raffles even though that's illegal and they got in trouble for that last year, entitlement, people being surprised super rare stuff with extremely low bottle counts sold out immediately.

Chill.

 

[user 306926]

Anyone got a Panther Cub (or two) to spare for a feller who was out of town during the release?
I hate dipping my toes into the FB groups. I feel dirty.

Also, anyone have any interest in a Utopias? I'm still working on mine from a couple years ago. Got the latest one and not sure when/if I'll get around to it.

 

[user 306926]

And the Kuhnhenn stuff is up ahead of publicized schedule.

I even grabbed Tripa. #noragrets

 

[steimie]

I wanted that BA stout, but not at $9/12oz.

Helluva beer, though.

 

[wysiwyg1]

Not surprised they were selling bottles early. Lol. Checked at 1145 and bought all I wanted.

Last year when they were beta testing the site I managed to buy a few 4 packs. On the day of the sale, they sold them early as well.

 

[cneville1]

Got some ba4d and vanilla 4d. Glad it was still there, totally forgot about the sale

 

[cneville1]

I also really wish they’d sell singles but I guess that would hurt them since there’s a 50% chance they **** up the taste of something

I have a bottle for you, but won’t have them by the Kuhnhenn release

Not in a rush. If we can touch tips at a bottle pickup I’ll be sure to give you something.

 

[cneville1]

still a ton of everything except vanilla 4d left at kuhnhenn if anyone's on the fence.

Did Kuhnhenn outsource the solstice brewing like they have of their new canned releases?

Oh wow. Hadn't heard that. Who did they outsource the canned stuff to? Brew Detroit?

I can't say for sure who brewed it for them, because I don't know,.. however, the details lie in the packaging of the cans. I hear the cans say brewed and canned in Detroit, not Warren or Clinton Twp, & then the other clue is the full wrap carriers... does Brew Detroit package with these?

Does it taste better? If so sign me up cause kuhnhenn forgot how to make this **** for a few years now

It's good, but still not the DRIPA of old.

On the Brew Detroit website, it lists Kuhnhenn as one of the brewers for which it does contract brewing.

What does that say about the production/canning facility Kuhnhenn has (had?) at the newer location? Is it all gone?

Last time I was there the windows to the production facilities were blocked off‍. Did think the cans were pretty close to the original, but it has been soooo long, so who knows

 

[jermy]

after a couple of failed attempts in trading, any Detroit area folks feel like muleing a 4 pack or 2 of bb4d? Can return the favor with Chicago area stuff

Wondering if they sold off the equipment and opted for contracting brewing.
Getting printed cans is silly. Then again. Kuhnhenn.

 

[trickytunadicky]

I gave up on them a while ago. Anyone else have a kick ass time at the Cellarmen’s Kranpus party?

I'm going to be in Port Huron for 5 days or so around Christmas. Any recommendations for breweries or bottle shops close by? I'm going to want to get away from my family for a bit, I'm sure.

You’re not too far from the lesser known but still fun to visit Superior Lakes Meadery.

Was pumped for Solstice Stout. This thing is a fvcking mess. GD I fell for it again.
