It will be interesting to see where the dust settles though, hype can only go so far.

I think it’s a cool approach. The hype is a bit much, but good for him.

Hype can only go so far? Tell that to bottle logic haha.

I did manage to secure a bottle because I was curious. I did see that the drop down went to 6 and I figured that was a mistake and my order would have been cancelled/refunded, so I only decided to go for a single bottle.

I did exactly the same....curious if i picked a higher number if i would have been shut out...?

What’s to crack?

1. Collab with well established brewers who use same hype generating formula
2. Relentless social media campaign
3. Hype ingredients “Japanese Chocolate,” “Peruvian Coffee,” etc incessantly
4. Have ultra-limited bottle count to create excessive demand vs availability, allow one proxy to essentially proxy for dozens of people, set per person limit to 6 to ensure instantaneous sell out to create further social media buzz
5. Plead ignorance that you didn’t know that unlimited proxies at a 6 bottle per person limit would result in an instant sell out

Very easy formula. Easy to figure out, harder to execute, so kudos to him on being able to pull it off.

Our former host Javi interviewed Kyle for our podcast. We've done a few pieces introducing him and his projects. He a really nice guy and a friend of mine.

I say this lovingly even though I know someone will screenshot this and send it out to Derek and Co..... Kyle/Horus is doing a very similar strategy as Abnormal /Moksa / Inu, and I will refer back to SanDiegoJoe2011 's code cracking to fill in the blanks.

Kyle is a very nice guy with a great plan. He’s a hustler and I love that. He does a great job responding to people with questions and concerns. Can’t ask for very much more. He’s riding the hype train and I can’t fault him for that.

The complete opposite of your boss.

 

[blackzag05]

The complete opposite of your boss.

We are actually brewing three or four hype train beers in the next month. Stay tuned.

Distro, Stone picked them up to distribute. Looks like we are getting their standard offerings, which mostly suck, but I do like a can of Jai Alai.

 

[quetzalcoatl]

What's good in NP tonight?

Jai Alai is definitely a solid IPA.

I really love white oak Jai Alai. I wouldn't mind getting some of that.

Blind Rye tasting at Seven Grand tonight, if you're in to that

 

[Original Fake]

Jai Alai hasn't been good (in my opinion) in a few years. And I'm assuming this will be coming from their NC brewing operation.

 

[arren]

I really love white oak Jai Alai. I wouldn't mind getting some of that.

Last time I had White Oak it was a few years ago and it was overhyped to **** and back from my buddy who sent it. Incredibly underwhelming.

I'm open to revisiting it, but I do wonder how it stacks up now.

 

[rcubed1]

I can't remember the last time I had a CCB beer besides a BA Huna.

I really love white oak Jai Alai. I wouldn't mind getting some of that.

I remember loving that beer as well. Hope we get it.
