So I can buy 6 Persimmon, 6 Peach and 6 of each of the New Belgium collaborations?


24 bottles of American made lambic?


Sign me the **** up.



Oh wait, I already am.

















Touched your balls fool.

I hate you... No, I love you... I hate beer

Saw a post for a March 31st deadline to sign up for 2014 memberships

It's up on my screen to buy now. i just pulled the trigger.

I was just jumping on here to PM you about that. HO-LEE-***!

I was thinking we might have a smaller allotment since Persimmon is all the rage.

I am retarded, I am aware of that. Upland sours are my kryptonite! I enjoy beer from everywhere and participate in BIFs, but Upland sours (and Proprietor's ) are the only beers that I have ever actively sought out.

Drink that ******* Kool-Aid my brothers, drink it up like a dying man lying in the desert.


Let your balls be touched.

Damn it just when I thought I was out of the woods.

Those of you who have tried the Synths what are your thoughts?

Darksynth was really good I thought. That and SR4 were my top faves at a tasting they had a couple of months back. The Lightsynth was good....but not on DS' level.

 

[Boilerfood]

I thought Light Synth was awesome, and that Dark Synth tasted infected more than it did sour. But I haven't tasted Dantallion on its own, and seem to be the only person who feels this way, so I chalk it up to palate fatigue from FOBAB.

Well gee, thanks for the help fellas.

 

[snowrs1]

So if I mix them cooveee style, it should knock my panties off. Awesome!

But thanks for the heads up, it sounds like both will be good.

Well, I live in Livermore, and can meet you up at Sante now. Bring some up there homie.

So this is an April Fools prank right? Or did the beer nerds just cave on their principles when they saw something shinny?

Oh, good, so it is an April Fools joke.

YOU APRIL FOOLS DONE MISSED THE CHOO-CHOO TRAIN

 

[tallpaul071]

I am a little surprised that Upland hasn't announced the lottery yet for non Barrel Bro Society members ... I wonder if they got enough sign ups in lieu of the persimmon release that it put a serious dent in the available bottles up for lotto.

 

[snowrs1]

You would think they would have lots of Dark and Light though

 

[tallpaul071]

Odd that they sent an email almost the moment I posted that. Sounds like SBS has until 4/23 to reserve, and I'm guessing the lottery will open up that following week.

 

[snowrs1]

I was wondering if the e-mail spurred your post, or they are spying on us.

 

[daniel1]

Anyone else notice the second option for 2015 membership on the survey? Cost is $300 but includes nine bottles. Hmmmmmm....

 

[snowrs1]

If you are going to max allocations option 2 is probably your best bang for the buck.

 

[snowrs1]

I meant to say aren't going to max allocations. If you are the % off would be a better deal.

If it would include 9 bottles, plus 4-6 bottles of each style, that would be badass!

It would but with included bottles you have to figure there'd be a lot more members, resulting in smaller allocations. Short of an increase in supply or less bottles in the lottery, the first and third options seem to be the way to go if you want 4-6 of each bottle.

Good point. Unless they capped the membership limit...I guess with that said, the 3rd option is pretty sexy.
