Kuhnhenn is barrel aging Solar Eclipse again. I will probably have to buy it. The last iteration of that beer was fantastic. I'll risk it.

Hope th other 3 in the 4 pack don’t suck

2/4 is a healthy average for Kuhnhennn these days

I'm down to my last bbbw from when I don't know. Will buy 4 to get one, srs

There's a party store down the road from me that's had a case of 2016 BCBS on the shelf for at least six months. They want $20/bottle for it.

I haven't asked, but my guess is he'd take $16 or so per bottle if you bought all of it and paid cash. I'm so tempted every time I drive by there to just go in and make him an offer.

I just went to Griffin Claw out of obligation not desire. Cinnamon Vanilla BB Stout is really good BTW.

I may dislike that place more than BFD. Neither of them is getting a dollar from me.

I mean something definitely started on fire, right?

Nah, you just need to have atrocious temperature control on your fermenter to get bonus smoky phenols.

Yeah but we're talking about Kuhnhenn here.

 

[user 306926]

Remind me, going price for single BCBS around these parts?

Also, Kuhnhenn is doing ticketed releases for solstice, correct? I am def not waiting in any lines anymore but do need a BBBW fix.

Details are pretty fuzzy, I've only found the event notice on their website. They have a ton of beers listed, but none specifically ear-marked as bottles. Was there an email that was more specific? And are tickets available only on-site at Clinton Twp?

Holiday is $10.49 for regular and $12.99 for BW. One bottle of each only. No variants. Typical SE MI allotment.

They are releasing BCBS in Ontario for the first time. $24 CDN a bottle. Not sure on limits. But 1 per at Holiday and overpaying at home.... **** all that. Entirely.

Heard variants in general are very limited this year( in Michigan)...even by me and we usually see 2-4 casesof coffee insane amount of bw and even more regular....for such a small area we usually do well. But we do sell a crazy amount of ab InBev

 

[BlowoffTube1]

Free for pickup. Howell, Brighton, Hartland, Wixom area.

I’m up in Petoskey and Traverse this weekend. Hoping to luck into some.

Wasn’t there a honey hole in TC where you lucked into some a few years back?

I just threw all of my growlers in the trash yesterday except for one 750 and one 375.

That's what I'm going to do soon, but I'll recycle

Yeah. That’s what I did too. I just don’t know the last time I used a 750 glass growler.

My brother is flying in to surprise my parents for Thanksgiving tonight, but his plane does not land at Metro until 12:50... I will be coming from the Jackson area. Where should I spend my time having a few drinks as I kill time waiting to pick him up?

Cultivate coffee and taphouse. Killer tap list tonight and 15 min from the airport. Close at 11 but you can go relax in a cell lot or go back to AA.

Stop at Homes brewing on the way too.

 

[JGlitz87]

Am I crazy for considering going to Schramm's?

This is the correct answer.

 

[JGlitz87]

Just saw their tap list. If I don't go to Schramm's that is where I will be. Cranberry Mead sounds awesome, especially in the hands of Schramm's.

 

[trickytunadicky]

It’s pretty great. Every time I have had it I have wished I had a little rosemary to drop in the glass for extra Christmas.

 

[JGlitz87]

Went to Schramms. Cranberry is killer

 

[steimie]

Here's the thing with Schramm's tasting room...

I hate drinking there. Hate it. Whether I'm alone or with one person or a group. I can't stand it. It's so sterile and so blah. The people are incredibly nice, don't get me wrong. But I just hate it in there.

I have loved the events I've done where I sat on the patio the best. Looking forward to this year's gala not being in the taproom.
