18th St Barrel Massacre

Yeah, give it a rest. I have been as complimentary as anybody in this thread for 5 pages. I think I can point out flaws, even if you feel my word choice is an exaggeration.

 

Well played. Lol. May all your lines be long @YoungLad.

 

Nice to know you could have showed up at 7 and purchased all the same bottles and had all the same taps as those who paid $25 for a glass did. That's my only complaint, because otherwise the event was about as smooth as it could have been.

 

I will make the best of it, @JohnnyHopps, as you well know.

I'm feeling like Cap'n Ahab tonight - I'm gonna be whalez hunting tomorrow!

 

*googles jokes about Moby Dick.
Hope you are recovering from today nicely, because a storm be brewin' tomorrow. I'm think of trading Dark Lord aged in rain.

Btw, BA orange vanilla hunter was unworldly.

 

Session 2 here. Great event. It was smoothly run. There was no issue getting taps. Bottle sales were smooth. Only issues would be the time spent getting instructions at start of event and the last call seemed early compare to end of event. Otherwise smooth, never felt crowded. I hope it stays that way. There were plenty of bottles left at start of the 7pm session but I'm pretty sure it all sold out. On to dark lord day.

 

...mumbles something about marketing strategies and increasing beer sales and profit margins....

 

True. That was kind of shitty. Could've showed up at 6ish and saved $25 with the same results.

 

Yeah, that is a head scratcher.

 

Great time! Got to try the seven that I wanted to. I'd heard from an intern a while back that Drew was really happy with how BA Blud was developing, but I guess it wasn't quite where he wanted it to be at this point since it wasn't served. Gives me something to look forward to!

Best in show for me were Crazy (felt bad for the women bartenders who had to hear "bitch" every 10 seconds), Coconut and Vanilla Coffee.

 

Anything left for today in package or draft?

 

Per a Tweet, they have three of the four bottles for sale today. (No Bank.) Untappd showed me people checking in to BA Orange, Chili Pepper, Brown and Hunter.

 

They have BA Brown, Hunter, and devils spear bottles left. All those on draft as well as BA orange and chili pepper hunter. And nubian overlord.

 

because, Chicago + beer

 

Chicago tough, yo.

But we have nothing on Philly.

 

Chalet Party Shoppe on Cassopolis in Elkhart, IN had bottles of BA Hunter and Bitch B Crazy. I was there around noon and they had a few bottles of each on the shelf in the humidor.

 

Does anybody know if they released a bottle count on each of these?

 

Heading into Portage, IN from Detroit area today and I would love to pick up some 18th Street bottles/cans. Any recommendations on good bottle shops in the area? Any chance the Chalet Party Shoppes have BA Hunter left?

Thanks for any info! Cheers!

 

I found some BA Hunter in the Chalet Party Shoppes near Elkhart when I was there last weekend.
