Bell's - The Planets Series

It came and went in NWI earlier this week.

 

I would like that! If you look at the Neptune label and the Black Note label there are some slight similarities

 

According to Bells website, indefinite aging like Expedition and Third Coast.

 

Said it in another thread and I'll say it in this one, I'm guessing Neptune is their "not up to snuff" Black Note that didn't turn out all that great this year. I expect similarities, but it will not be what we all know Black Note to be. I'll buy it at $43 a case though.
***NOTE- THIS IS PURE SPECULATION AND NOT FACT***

 

Just started to hit Indy at the end of last week - Kahn's had it on Wednesday, 1 6pk/person limit. But 21st Amendment and Big Red didn't get theirs yet. Big Red did, however, send out an email with a way to reserve a sixer... if you aren't on their list, you should definitely sign up, that's how they did KBS this year too.

Either way, a dude I know who works at 21st says that he expected to receive it this Wednesday, so hopefully that helps you out.

 

I wish people would stop speculating that Neptune is a re-packaged Black Note.

“Neptune, The Mystic” – A beer inspired by Dr. Bell’s Medicinal Stout, one of Larry Bell’s homebrews that also helped inspire Eccentric Ale. (July, 2015)

 

FTFY

 

I'll be in Vegas and Seattle from June 25th to July 7th, so if Neptune is out during that week of July and I miss it and someone picks it up for me (preferably if you live in Eastern or Southeastern Michigan), I'd be grateful.

I don't have anything to trade, so I'd just pay more than the shelf price. Ideally I'd like two bottles, but I'd be happy to just have one.

 

Anyone else thinking Uranus is really Bourbon Barrel Aged Batch 9,000 that they're sneaking in to this series? I'm gonna be pissed if it isn't...

 

I had my first bottle out of my sixer yesterday of Saturn. Disclaimer, I don't care for barrel aged stuff or barlywines for that matter, but this one actually may have converted me a bit on both. It was very, very good. I can't believe how cheap it was for the quality it was. Impressive.

 

Grabbed some in SW Florida. Standard 12.99 at Total Wine.

 

I was excited to try some new beer from Bell's; and I must say, Saturn is my favorite beer of all time. Bought as much of it as I could find.

 

Ha ha. I remember posting that.

I tried Saturn, and for the price point, it's a helluva decent beer.

 

I was quite pleased. Not English, but not American either. Just a little grassy hops to balance it out. For the price it's a steal.

 

Anyone know when Bell's Uranus will be released?

Their calender says May.

 

Bell's has posted pictures (on Instagram) of each Planet series when they are on the bottling line. Haven't seen Uranus on there yet...

 

I haven't seen any pictures of Uranus either.

 

If there was no planet series and they all of a sudden came out with something no one heard of I could buy the speculation. But to assume they made a beer, it wasn't up to snuff and they passed it into an already created and well publicized planet series seems crazy to me.

 

ive never had barleywines.but i do like bourbon,so the bourbon barrel aging and the high abv kind of got my attention

i might end up getting Uranus instead though.depends on if its high abv or not

 

I had a 6-pack held for me by the manager, but the Coors-Light drinking employees had no clue what it was and sold it. WHY WOULD YOU SELL BEER IN THE BACK OF THE STORE WITH A NAME ON IT YOU FOOL?! INJUSTICE!
