    Sounds like it'll be a lot of fun! For those who were unable to attend their last bottle release, it went so smoothly.

    My best advice is to bring cash for the bottle purchases. They accept debit/credit at the bar, but depending on how busy the bar is, cash was just so much quicker.

    According to the post, it sounds like there will be 8 variants of Urban Monk on draft and you can fill 1 of the 8 variants in a swing top bottle. They are only releasing the two wild ales in actual bottles.

    No clue yet. I can't speak for Fonta Flora, but maybe they will post as the release date gets closer how much they have.

    That Fennel Funk is awesome! That was one of the beers they were pouring at Release the Funk 2, and it was one of the best beers I had that day. I really wish I could make this, but I'll be out of town that weekend. @aleckpa feel like talking about hookin me up again?

    Anyone try the Kiwi Funk? Hopefully bottle shops carry both soon, the drive isn't too bad but don't want to do it if it isn't worth it.

    Both beers are really good. I'm probably going to make it up there and I have a place to stay in Morganton.
    Based on the last release, I'd say it's likely Salud, Good Bottle, and maybe a couple others will get some bottles. I do hope they go for $15 rather than $20 though.

    Asheville got a handful of Echoview Estate bottles so I'm crossing my fingers we'll get some more.

    Wish I could make this. Anybody from the Triad going who might be able to bring me back a bottle of each?

    I'm not sure these will make it to any bottle shops, as I would expect them to be in higher demand than the tripel. Hope I'm wrong though.

    Hope some of it makes its way to distribution, too. I have a great deal of respect for this brewery and wish I could make it there tomorrow.

    Driving out from Charlotte. Never been. I look forward to trying these on draft.

    Hope I can at least buy a couple of each bottle.

    Thank you for putting on such a well organized event. So many amazing beers, but that Mexi-Monk and Turkish Monk in particular were fantastic.
