Actually, there are great guys. They both work the night shift and went straight there instead of going home.

Sure they are.

Even so, 8 hours? Come on? My first ********(received)is just barely worth an 8 hour wait in line...

But worth it nonetheless, haha.

2x FO are not worth 8 hours in line at Schramm's.

No. Not at all. That's the point. 8 hours for like 6oz of anything. I'm out. Give me a two hearted or a PBR.

I briefly considered flipping more Barrel Aged DL for more mead and then I told myself to knock it off.

The funny thing is, the bottles they put up for trade would make it more worthwhile than the new flavor of the month adjunct stout they were ISO.

I was referring to your first *******.

I stand by my previous comment. Dudes are losers.

 

[Ckozl]

Almost 500 tickets for the anny party still left.

 

[Ckozl]

The one good thing about the kuhnhenn bottle release is that technically I can try the eisbocks before deciding to shell out $50 for them tho im sure they are good.

 

[trickytunadicky]

I am sure you can razzle them either way.

 

[wysiwyg1]

Well that was easy for bottle tickets. Surprised there are still a bunch left.

I think a lot of people are upset about the price. These may or may not be the same people flipping their bottles of limited Schramm's butthurt the price increase is cutting into their ROI.

I get that but like you mentioned...razzle...Also, I expected the tickets to go quick and then see a bunch of FT for cases of FO or whatever whale of the week there is.

 

[trickytunadicky]

I am good with my 2 (spouse and I), and I will hoard them like the good beer dragon I am.

Can we take a minute to just marvel at how much Kuhnhenn seems to have their **** together at the moment? I mean a few weeks ago they couldn't pull together a bottle release, and now we have tickets, we have a plan for food, we have a ticketed bottle release (negligibly) supporting charity. And this is a full two weeks after Mead Day from which we have heard precisely crickets about bottles (and this is not a knock at the folks working hard to pull mead day together. I assume this stuff just isn't bottled yet.) I am just floored at how unKuhnhenn like this seems.

Happy to grab the fruited BA variants. Had no desire to try the regular. Did me a favor by selling out of that one.

Waiting for sack jokes....

I was referring to the other area meaderies. But seriously. You could knock me over with a feather with how together Kuhnhenn is right now.

 

[steimie]

I've got two tickets for MBG Summer Beerfest on Saturday. I'd like to get face value of $49 ea for them. Shoot me a note if you're interested.

I was talking about this with a friend yesterday -- I still think the potential of them not having enough bottles for the tickets they sold is there as well as them giving draft pours of stuff to regular tap room folks so people that paid for the anny party can't get it. But, that may just be my Kuhnhenn pessimism talking. The ticketed bottle release is a HUGE improvement, and I hope they keep it up.

Oh I still have full faith they will **** this up, but I am giving credit where credit is due. B Nektar just got around to next weekend's release and Schramm's has been silent. When I said shut up and take my money it was empahsis on take my money.

i disagree.
