The OFFICIAL Kuhnhenn Winter Solstice thread

None, IMO. All good beers.

 

I can honestly say I do not believe there is a bad beer in that six pack. Plus last ear the limit on the BBBW was 2 per person if u get a case this year you will get 4 BBBW!

 

The main problem with all of this is subjectivity. Some people think they are all good. Some think some are not worth it. Here's what trumps all. Kuhnhenn's thinks all their beers are good. If people dont like it, dont buy it. I dont like the bundles, so I dont buy any. But I also dont complain about it.

 

So there will be no tickets issued at 8am? Just wait in line until the sale starts at 11?

 

Completely agree. I think the hate on the bundling idea was a bit premature. For me it really was going to be about the composition of the 6. I'll admit I was a bit less than optimistic on what was going to be in the mix 6 but after seeing the details I am very happy. But I can see how some may be less than thrilled to see Braggot included.

 

Another question: if there is no bottle sharing permitted in line, what the hell do all those early morning risers do for 5-6 hours before the sale?

 

Be cold.

 

Exactly. ..no point in getting there 5 or 6 hours early unless you just need to ne first..which im sure there are plenty of you out there.

 

Bottle share

 

Even though Kuhnhenn asks everyone not to bottle share in the parking lot, every event I go to there I see a bunch of empites all over the place. This is just my thoughts, but maybe people should just not show up that early.

 

As a newbie what time should I lineup if I'm looking to take a case home?

Honestly, I'm more pumped for the tap list Friday night and meeting new BAs. I've only had DRIPA, so I can't wait to be mind blown

 

You're not in line yet?!

 

Must...have...logo...glass.

HNNNNNNNG

 

Those logo glasses become unlabeled snifter in remarkably short period of time. GTFO anyone who replies they hand wash their glassware. Very pleased by the beers included in the six pack, but still would love a case count. @LiquidTable pretty please?

 

Or cut in line?

 

on facebook they said "1200 six packs"

 

So I'm a little confused...they did 1200 bottles of BB4D and 3600 bottles of raspberry eisbock?

 

1,200 six packs is 7,200 bottles, so double KRE. I thought the same thing at first.

 

There's one BB4D per 6 pack. Because math

 

Jesus people, math is not hard.

There are 4 BB4Ds per case. There are 300 mixed cases. 1200 bottles of BB4D. That means they only bottled 50 actual cases of BB4D.

For scale, I remember seeing more than 100 cases of BB4D go out the door in 2012. But hey, I don't have access to production numbers, I'm sure @LiquidTable could explain why it seems like BB4D production tanked in 2013 and has yet to bounce back.

Honestly guys, if you aren't making enough to bottle a quantity that will justify a big hoopla for a release, STOP MAKING HOOPLA AND JUST PUT THE BOTTLES UP FOR SALE.

This isn't hard. It just requires a modicum of forethought.

I feel like going to the release on Saturday just to watch it for lulz.
