Upland Brewing Secret Barrel Society

[MordorMongo]

please don't buy it man... don't encourage it! almost like Yogis charging $225 for a VE tasting starting with 030303, just laugh and move along

You missed the part where I literally bought it instantly because I am retarded.

 

[claaark13]

So if it is illegal to do it, why not state that bottles will be sold to members at a discounted price of $1 plus tax?

 

[MordorMongo]

Jokes on all you mother fuckers, I will get each bottle at the low, low price of $50ish per.

Who's laughing now?

Come at me.

 

[stupac2]

I'm a local. Sell me on how this isn't totally unreasonable for me.

I figured those event tickets would be more expensive. If they're $45 then you're right, this is completely ridiculous.

MordorMongo, you sure do love taking it up the butt. Without lube.

That’s correct. The beer will be sold at the time of pick up. Due to Indiana law it is illegal for us to pre-sell beer."

me too, this ought to be fun haha

not exactly laughing, i love their beer. but if i'm dropping $400-500 on 8 bottles of beer, sheesh i'm not sure any would be from Upland! (don't get me wrong, i love their beer sours). That's a friggin' stupid big order from etre or something (or an entire bruery reserve society and BT allotment!).

woah. maybe i'm just madbro

 

[axeman91821]

They should just include a gift card/certificate for the brewery that happens to be in an amount that would allow members to purchases one each of the eight beers (and ditch the festival tickets)

I can't let Mordor take all the '*******' comments by himself. I fell for this ************ too. Every other 'society' out there includes beer with the purchase price. Why I didn't read more closely is beyond me.

******* it.

The only thing worse than this Secret Barrel Society is reading Hayden's comments about it.

Hell is Hayden acting self-righteous.

 

[yeahnatenelson]

-2 custom glasses = $25 (at most, right? and they better be tekus!)
-2 Event tickets = $100 (at most again)
-1 Certificate = worthless to me/everyone else, but i'll give them $5...

That's pretty generous, but if we'll assume this included value that means MordorMongo is paying $15 per bottle up front to guarantee reservations for the next eight Upland releases.

Oh awesome....so only $40 per bottle....SWEET!

Yeah, the way he's going ham in that thread you'd think he lived by the brewpub...or in the state.

you could probably get the order refunded/cancelled if you were that bummed about it.

I'm trying.

 

[snowrs1]

Yeah Hayden called me out, he is lucky he doesn't get a foot in his ass.

 

[yeahnatenelson]

...and you can still ask for $56.25 in $4$ trade value. Double win?

 

[ridglens]

 

[stxSS07]

Got excited, then droop face.

This is kind of garbage IMO. Take off the clown shoes Upland.

This will be a thread on BA as soon as the first bottle from this debacle comes out. "What is the $4$ value of Upland Sourzzzz???"

 

[ridglens]

my comment is "awaiting moderation"... dang

 

[MordorMongo]

Seems appropriate place for one of my all time faves :

It's inevitable.

 

[Beerontwowheels]

These 'custom glasses' will be certified glass waelz since Mordor and I were the only two people stupid enough to purchase memberships.

This is the beer version of NFL seat licenses.

[Beerontwowheels]

At least my wife can't accuse me of buying more beer...

 

[ASUBeer]

Upland should just create a MyBeerCellar account and sell their sours that way.

 

[Beerontwowheels]

I'd actually consider driving our to Upland twice for the two events they mention if membership included 2 tickets to each event. I'm not traveling all that way to attend a festival by myself.

Upping the # of tickets would be a good start to giving people some value back since the upfront cost doesn't include beer.

I'M TRYING NOT TO HATE YOU UPLAND.
