Hardywood Gingerbread Stout: The Aftermath

I don't want the rules in favor of me... but if you say that you are going to keep the line open until 10:30, don't come outside at 9:40 and tell everyone that you are done selling for the night to save inventory for Saturday... That to me was the problem.

 

No gbs went to nova last year. No bagbs was distroed at all.

 

I agree, from what I understand it is a problem. Had they (Hardywood) said they were going to sell X number of cases on Friday from 9-10:30 and they happened to sell out before 10:30 then I would say it sucks for those who didn't get their early. However, stopping sales early and not keeping your word to sell bottles until 10:30 so that you could have more bottles the following day is shitty way to do business.

Off topic but another rant about Hardywood. I bought a sixer of Capital Trail PA, drank one and it tasted like it had Belgian yeast so I emailed them and asked if they changed the receipe as previousl batches I had were a lot better/different. They emailed me back and said there was an issue with the strain of yeast (can't recall the exact issue) and I could drive to the brewery to exchange my sixer for a new one (nice geasture but inconvenient). So, do they not test their batches before sending them out to distro? Hard to beleive they wouldn't.
