    From The Hourglass Breweries website:

    "SATURDAY – MAY 16th, 2015
    The first bottle release is Schizandra, one of our highest rated beers ever. This decadent ale is a Belgian Quad aged in Bourbon Barrels on top of Tart Cherries. Savory tastes and smells of raisins, rich toffee, plums and tart cherries are gently blanketed by oak and vanilla with a bourbon backbone. Coming in at 10.5% abv, this gentle sipper is not one to be taken lightly. With smooth, well-balanced drinkability, it is best advised to take your time and savor the flavor. It pairs well with an Hourglass [​IMG]
    ORDER YOURS NOW!- Pick it up on May 16th"

    Bottles still seem to be available!

    Side note: Maybe we can put together a share out front or all meet up?

    Hoping they have this on draft that day. I'd rather have a small pour now and stash the bottle away until the 8 days of Winter we get. This may be the closest BA bottle release to me ever.

    Now if we could get a local brewery to brew a solid citrus heavy IPA/DIPA (since FL has enough local citrus) and release it in limited 16oz can 4pks for the summer, that would be awesome.

    i'll be grabbing a bottle for sure. If I end up going up there that day, it would be awesome to meet a few local BAs and share a bottle if they'll be cool with it.

    UPDATE: They approved the share, so we're welcome to hang out and enjoy the event. We can all meet around 12PM, if that works and bring something, sit around, meet and enjoy ourselves for an hour or so. Hourglass usually has a great tap list, as well, with their beers and their guest taps.

    Chances are I'll have to pick up the bottle at a later date. Otherwise I'd totally be down!

    Anyone going to this? Does anyone want to bring bottles still?

    I don't think I can get there until Sunday. Plus, I can only pick them up and go. Fiancé and I are going to Disney right afterwards. Can't wait to try this thing though!
