The OFFICIAL Kuhnhenn Winter Solstice thread

ISO the Rye FT mead, or any other past release of FT mead for a trading buddy of mine. I know it's a long shot, but I figured I would try. Missed out at #70.... Why the 2 bottle allowance!

 

Hey All...Any update on what order # they're on is greatly appreciated...?

Cheers!

 

Another classic shitshow.

 

I was there about 45 minutes ago and they were in the 220's.

 

A couple friends were number 240ish and they got taken care of not too long ago. They said they got BB4D and BBBW so it seems like they got those bottle limits right.

 

#290-ish and bbbw is on tap in the tent

 

Drank a bunch of great beer had a good time met some good people didn't bother putting in an order but screw it i had fun was on # 402 ish and was filling # 88 figured screw it but still love kuhnhenn had fun anyway

 

I was #393 and left around 3. I was told my order can be picked up tomorrow. If its not there tomorrow I'm not gonna cry. I was fortunate enough to enjoy some amazing beers over the past two days with good friends at an amazing brewery.

Also, to everyone who disagreed with me, I am sorry I have an opinion that differed from yours and I voiced it. I will be sure to never express an opposing argument here again. I will just happily agree with whatever anyone else says. In fact, as atonement, I will sleep in my car tonight so I can experience what it's like to be smarter about whale hunting than everyone else.

 

What number are they on now? I gave up at 4:30. Are they out of anything except for the meads?

 

I picked up order 301 at 6:15... They were still back there trying their hardest to fill orders with the system they had in place. The fact that it took so long to fill the orders allowed me to be around for the bbbw tapping, sweet mercy that beer is delicious.

 

Seems like the best way to really enjoy solstice is to forget about bottle purchase and just show up for the awesome taps and party. That should save everybody the trouble of having to post their uppity ass comments here. Cheers!

 

On a very important note, be safe driving home everyone. The ice storm cometh and it looks to be bad. Be careful and cheers to another awesome Solstice!

 

Pickups in the 360s right now

 

Was number 105 in line and got there roughly at 6am. Had a great time got to try some fantastic beers on tap. Was able to get all my beers I wanted with only a limited amount of meads left, grabbed a few. Ended up getting my beer around 1:30ish. The event was crazy with the amount of people there, my first time going. Great beer and mead but crazy lines. Enjoyed it!

 

Called and orders can be pick up tomorrow till 10pm.

 

Thanks for the info. We're 412/413 which should be getting filled now but I really don't want to drive with this weather...

 

Dad and I were 338/339, got there at 9am. Had a few then left, went back at 7pm and got everything we ordered (all beers no meads).

Tent had everything flowing and I saw Eisbocks out there.

 

I friend and I have 347/348, so this makes me VERY hopeful that we (probably) will get all that we ordered too...of course, minus the meads. I actually got to taste the Rye french toast inside today right when they opened (the randomly had a single bottle at the bar) and, sadly I was VEEERRRRRRRY let down by it. The BB French toast is leaps and bounds better. So im actually NOT sad that Im not able to get it. Even still I had plans on having them take it off my order and giving it to sombody else if I were to have gotten it (yeah, thats how much I didnt like it)
I am sad to miss out on Manhattan Project (which is rediculously good)... but, thankfully I still have two bottles from its last run in the cellar, which is good, even if they are the smaller bottles from a couple years ago.

 

On the back label of the Vanilla Gorillabilly mead it says it was aged in bourbon barrels. This was advertised as being regular Vanilla Gorillabilly. Can anyone confirm if this is a labeling error?

 

Don't give up hope on Manhattan. I was #342 and got the 2 bottles I ordered.
