The Official Modern Times League Of Partygoers & Elegant People Thread

[Xul1]

Super easy and pretty painful at the same time. Anybody think nitro cans will be upped o Sunday?

I'm guessing we'll see increased allocations on everything. Half the League would have to max out on most variants to sell them out, I'd be shocked if that happened.

Yes it is definitely rare that something doesn't make it to Sunday but these cans seem like they could be a possibility. I know I wanted 6-8 for myself but with the limit as it is now I'll have 3-4 after my brother gets some.

Anyone going to the Tour on Friday?

Also passed. I was just down there a week ago and couldn't justify coming straight back. Hoping for more advance notice next time so I can arrange time off etc.

Also wondering if there will actually be a next one seems the top 25 privileges are floating a bit while they figure this out.

VIP tour was pretty interesting. We started at Lomaland, but ended up at the barrel warehouse down the street. We got to try bottle pours of Devil's Teeth in Wild Turkey barrels, and a new Mango Sour. Both were quite good.

We also pulled nails on a few different barrels, while they talked about how those beers came about, etc.

Overall a cool perk by the MT crew.

 

[smithj21541]

I saw some pics of the wild turkey bottles. How was it? Seems like a winner to me. Did they say a release date?

 

[Tyrsis]

It was good, but thin. Would prefer a thicker mouthfeel but it's good.

Isn't this everyone's complaint about every Modern Times beer?

Never felt that MP is thin.

Ah. I've heard so many people on Tuesday night say "they were really good, but thin." It almost became comical, haha.

I wonder how many of them have BT or something similar as a baseline after being a Hoarders Member for so long. MP consistently has some of the best body of a BA stout I've had.

I think I it's just personal preference. Some people love that super chewy viscous mouthfeel, some like that more dry smooth mouthfeel. I love both.

 

[smithj21541]

And this month just got more expensive!! Nothing like spending double club fee in one month's bottle sale

[SanDiegoJoe2011]

I hope some don't make it to the public.

I would love to see last year's bitching about the MPs being distro'd be followed up this year with people bitching about none of the MPs being availble to the public or distro'd.

 

[Tyrsis]

Nooooo

Other interesting tidbit that I forgot about: I asked whatever happened to that barrel of Modem Tones - apparently it went bad. However they're going to make the essentially same beer with whatever that offshoot of Hill Farmstead is.

Awwww, that is sad to hear. Hill farmstead offshoot being Grassroots Brewing right?

 

[Tyrsis]

I couldn't catch the name, it was loud in there. I just smiled politely and nodded - but I definitely heard Hill Farmstead.

Isn't Casita Cerveceria an HF offshoot?

That sounds familiar. I think that is what Jacob said.

Edit: Yep.

July 14th-We will drive to Modern Times in San Diego to brew.

BTW, Steven put the MP w/ vanilla back up for an hour starting at like 10:20am. So if you have FOMO that you didn't buy enough (like me, I grabbed another 2 so I could send out to RTPs in upcoming boxes so that I wouldn't have to dig into my personal stash).

Just gotta use the league password to have that option show up.

 

[rcubed1]

Another HF offshoot? Guess they have to try to outpace The Bruery.

 

[benbikes4beer]

Pretty sure that Casita was at Fest of Funk last year. They were right next to Black Project which had LOL lines.

 

[benbikes4beer]

Dino World was a fine IPA but drank a bit heavy for me, so it's no surprise that it was the first to sell out.

 

[smithj21541]

MT announced the Anniversary party tickets go on sale Monday. I don't remember last but was there a league pre-sale first?

Derek confirmed in the League FB group that we'll be getting a League presale.

 

[smithj21541]

Missed that. Thanks!

Was last years coconut and cocoa nibs MP infected? I thought I saw something about that and there is one being offered to me FT.
