    The ones sold in May and July were from the same shipment, not 2 different shipments. They have received 2 total shipments of teku glasses from Germany, and that is what a FFF employee said.

    So if May and July were the same. And July and Oct were the same. Then May and Oct were the same. Damn, this shit is confusing.

    Yea it is. The first release was staggered, then some were saved for Internet orders. People were complaining about them breaking during shipping so they stopped the Internet orders, and sold the leftovers in the brewpub. These glasses come from Germany and take several months to arrive. I believe they are selling most of this shipment now, and saving some for dark lord day, but I am not 100% sure about that. I do know that they are selling really fast and probably won't last long. When I was sitting at the bar for 1 beer, and I saw like 50 cases of them get sold. The guy sitting next to me at the bar bought 6 cases, that's over $300 in glassware.

    What I'd really like to see FFF do is offer branded full-size snifters at DLD similar to Darkness Day, etc. I love the tekus, however I've always really wanted a full-size FFF branded snifter.

    It's not cool if it's what everyone else is doing, like tasting or blending their barrel aged beers. It's way cooler to just throw some beer in a barrel for a few months, pour it into a bottle, charge way too much, and not care what the beer actually tastes like. Heads up though Three Floyds, that's already what Dark Horse does with their sours.

    If someone notices the DLD page get updated, might not hurt to call it out here as well?

    There will be plenty of threads dedicated to DLD. I don't think it is necessary to post updates in every FFF related thread.

    This thread got a bit off the tracks, as every FFF-related thread seems wont to do around here. If we can get back to the original intent of keeping this as a place to post BA FFF releases and weekly Tuesday updates, that would be most welcome. Cheers!

    That's a good point, I was just thinking it would go hand in hand with DLD because of the inevitable BA releases. I will keep quiet now.

    If you want this to remain on track, the thread title should read 'Three Floyds - BA Releases/Updates'. As it is now, the latter part reads as 'releases and updates' which most might include open discussion about anything else non-BA related. Just my $.02

    you say that like a slight technicality about thread titles will keep a thread from going off-topic :slight_smile:

    anyway, curious to see what kind of bizarre barrel variants FFF is keen to pull out in the weeks ahead...

    Wasn't any variation where cherries were used changed to "wick Cherries"? Guess Steph didn't get the update....

    I almost bought it when I was there this weekend, but couldn't justify the $50 without someone else having tried it first.
