Transient Reserve Society

Yep, that's what I am waiting for too.. I will be checking my email every 10 seconds waiting for that special note saying come get your goodness

 

Also did anyone catch the scoop on the growlers? I totally forgot he said we would be getting those. Or was I just not paying attention when they passed those out?

 

I didn't hear anything about them but I assumed yesterday was not the planned day to give them out. I don't know that there would have been room or man power to store and fill 100+ growlers. I'm sure we will get a heads up soon.

 

the reserve thing was for two events, 8 bottles, holders, shirts, glasses, growler and growler fill. Yesterday was one event with 4 bottles, I assume everything else comes at event two.

 

I better make it to the second

 

You got the holder, glasses and shirt yesterday as well.

 

Yeah there were no growlers yesterday. Anyone try the beer yet? Here are some pics http://imgur.com/a/SRXof

 

I will be opening up 1 bottle as soon as I pick mine up

 

So, I'm curious: Are there bottle sales to the general public, or do only Reserve Society members get access?

 

I noticed one of the pictures has Heaven Hill barrels. Totally missed that at the event.

 

Only reserve members. No peons.

 

If you went to the event as a "trustee" (picking up beer for someone else) . . you could buy 1 extra. members could buy 2, but not two of the same beer. I thought it was fair enough to distribute the beer. According to Chris the Wild Turkey and Red Wine Batise beers were limited in bottles as most of Wild Turkey is going to FOBAB and Red Wine to GABF

 

I don't know but I emailed him yesterday and haven't heard back yet.

 

Odd, nearer to the start of the line they let you buy any 2 bottles you wanted, even 2 of the same.

 

I believe if you were a +1 you were allowed to buy some beer as well, either way Chris is doing some great things there

 

So it looks like from his recent email there is still some bottles for sale on Sept 21 even if you went to the release party....looking for some more Chardonnay!!

 

I am not sure if you picked up your allotment your allowed to go back on the 21st for more awesome brews

 

There were plenty of the bottles for sale yesterday. Picked up my allotment. Snagged one more each of the Obelus, and a pair each of the Brett beer and Honey saison. No limits on the non-BA beers. I figured I should try them before I buy a bunch though. One to drink and one to let the Brett do its thing. Hopefully if there was still a bunch left after yesterday, Chris can store a bunch of cases for purchase down the road.

 

I picked up my bottles yesterday as well with ease, Chris and those group of guys are so nice to do that, especially on a brew day and took the time to make sure I had everything. If you still need to get your bottles, be sure to grab the non BA beers: honey saison and Peur. Both are great!

 

welcome to the future of sour beer in chicago. it tastes great!
