Maine Beer Co. Dinner

Damn. First Lil Sal and now dinner. I'm 0/2 this week.

 

Bissell Brothers canning tomorrow at noon, so there's that.

 

Damn I am seriously glad I decided to leave NJ by 9 AM! Got to The brewery at 2:15 and had no issues getting my 18 bottles.

 

How hard is this to get?

 

Getting tired of hearing how MBC can't meet customer demand on few of their product lines...while the rest of their overrated overpriced line rots.

 

Sorry I missed you. Would have been nice to introduce each other.

 

It's cool. Inside was a train wreck, just wanted to get my bottles and get out, haha

 

Lmao.

Lmao just do 4 30bbl fermentors of dinner and 4 30bbl of lunch.

Sometimes focusing on having one gangster product like bissell does with The Substance is better than having multiple product lines that people don't get psyched on.

 

I can see paying $6-$7 tops for Lunch and Dinner because that is a somewhat similar price point for a beer like Pliny but the fact that their Pale Ales, Ambers, and whatnot also go for $6 for 17 oz is absurd.

 

I couldn't make it but I wonder how the whole "pick up 2 for friends " worked out. If they just kept it a case per might been better off.

 

Ha, I hear you. My niece and I were part of that initial rush. We grabbed our cases then settled in a corner and waited it out with flights.

 

That never really came into play. I was sitting next to a couple and we were talking about that exact thing. A MBC employee happened to come by and she mentioned no stipulations regarding that and it was 3 cases of Dinner per person.

 

I think it was just a joke on twitter, most likely just a fun way to say three case limit.

 

I assumed that part was just a joke...

I know it was a little crazy inside and all but I didn't think it went too badly given the real lack of organization in there. I didn't get in line until noon and was still out around 1. If they had roped off inside it could have gone quite quickly. Even better would have been to stack cases on the porch and sell it all right there....and people who wanted samples could have gone in.

 

I understood that. It definitely seemed tongue and cheek from the person who posted who posted the message from MBC's FB page.

 

Hard. Thats why its good, isnt it?

 

I was really hoping this was what it would be like. Oh well. I will say though, the employees seemed to be working their asses off, running around like crazy. Could have been done more easy I suppose.

 

Any Mainers up for a trade let me know

 

If anyone has a couple extra to trade I'll be up in the Portland area for the weekend. Message me if you're feelin' the love
