Sour Reserve 2 Lottery

0 for 4 here. Chalk that up on the local Indiana loss sheet.

 

Ok, it's 8:30 PM Indiana time and I still haven't received an email whether I won or lost. Anyone else still waiting for a response? I'm getting a little concerned by now that my entry didn't go through for some reason, even though I did receive a confirmation after entering.

 

3 strikes i'm out. however i did have a Sour Reserve #1&2 last weekend...i wonder if upland figured that out.

 

No e-mail yet for me, I'm almost positive if I had won, I would have received an e-mail by now.

 

i generally agree, but if demand > supply (and i assume it is), a lottery at the brewery is a great way to reward locals.

you can't please everyone of course.

 

Locals will be able to go get bottles that weren't claimed the day after the pick-up window closes. Sounds fair to me.

 

They said that won't be happening on Sour Reserve, I believe.

 

I havent received an email later, I'll chalk that up as a loss.

 

The congratulations e-mail states:

A bottle of Sour Reserve Blend #2 will be available for you to purchase at the Indy Tasting Room between June 20th and July 4th. If you do not purchase your bottle during that time, someone else will buy it.

 

Didnt win a bottle. Oh well.

It does suck to see people posting that they won a bottle that they never intended to drink and now its for trade! :/

 

I lost, but my girlfriend won, so we'll be splitting a bottle at some point!

 

I wonder, does anyone think the odds were better based on which location you selected for pick up? For example, if Bloomington had 150 bottles and Indy had 50, etc...

 

i doubt it, I think they relocate the bottles to each location after they know how many will be picked up there.
My thought was that the people who won seem to be people that have never reserved uplands before?

 

Upland continues to be good to Milwaukee. Well for me at least. I have been able to purchase all their lambics here and now finally get a chance at the sour reserve. This was a lot easier than trying to trade for it ha.

 

Any chance Upland will have this on tap?

 

no

 

Don't forget that BAs are much more likely to enter the raffle and to post about it.

 

I don't see that as being a possibility. There are a lot of beer geeks in that area. Look at Brugge, Chumleys, Twenty Tap, Kahns on Keystone, Binkleys, and Sinking Ship all within a few mile radius.

 

Don't think so. I've reserved three out of the last four sours (all except Sour Reserve 1), and I won this time. Think it was just luck of the draw.

 

i didn't win, and i've never reserved their stuff before....same with my wife
