Dark Horse Crawfish Boil

Thanks... that's what I get for doing stuff at work and not paying attention. idiot... edited.

 

If anyone is looking to do a small trade like one or two bottles of each, I'd like to drink them side by side with my bottles from the 4Elf release. Of course I have a bunch of shit going on this weekend and can't make the 4 hour drive.

 

Man, the threads people are posting for trades for the 3 and 6 pair of legs are crazy. One guy wants a full 4 pack of each. Basically, your allotment... Unless you are bringing a bunch of mules with you, wow...

 

Depends on what he's trading for your allotment. If it's something you've never had but have reeeeally been wanting to try, letting your bottles go for it might not be all that hard.

 

The Numbers are in:

3 Pairs of Legs = 2.10 bbl, 29 cases, 174-4 packs, 696 bottles, 8,352 oz
6 Pairs of Legs = 4.52725 bbl, 63 cases, 378-4 packs, 1,512 bottles, 18,144 oz.

Again as a comparison, tres was 96 cases, 8 bottles per person, at a lower price point.

 

BB tres just wasn't that impressive for me. If they'd amped up the Bourbon it may have been more to my liking.
Hopefully there's a strong maple/bourbon presence in this vintage of the "Pairs of Legs" beers.
Also hopefully I can get some ha-ha.

 

So how are both of the beers being released? Are they pretty barrel-heavy in flavor, or is it more like the BBA tres? Also, I thought it was strange that they have so much more of the double barrel variety.

 

Had them at MWBF they're pretty good. Not a ton of maple in the draft version (served at 39°), but hopefully they sat in barrels between then and now and soaked up more of the bourbon/maple flavor.

 

They said they'll have it on draft too, limited, but on. I hope to grab one in the tap room after bottles.

Also, if anyone sees me tomorrow, and wants to say hey, please do. Non cartoon version of me

 

Eff that, I'm going to be looking for an Animal Crossing character.

 

Anyone from Grand Rapids going for the bottle release and can't stay for the party? Would love to carpool!

 

I would've had to be up about 6 and leave by 7 from holland it looks like to have any chance at bottles..

 

Got my bottles, but apparently they aren't tapping any kegs of the 3/6 legs today (or at least that's what they are telling us in the pub)

 

Glad I got to meet a few of you guys today. Thanks for the trades with @Sir_Osis_of_Liver and @jrs3994243



Hope everyone that can stay enjoys the party

 

Damn it. I want that stupid Maple Syrup. How much was it?

 

If I get a chance to make it down to the Marshall area fairly soon then you know I got you! That Voodoo Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup you got me is pure fire! I love it!

I will be heading up to Short's today so if you want anything from there just let me know.

Does anyone know how long DH BBA Maple Syrup typically lasts?

 

12 oz bourbon barrel syrup was 14.99. (Regular is 12.99)
16oz I think was 18.99. Don't quote me on that.

 

Jmorey are you still around? Thought I saw you, but I was near the front of the line when you got here.

 

I am at Taco Bell right now. Gotta head to my parents an hour and a half away for an anniversary party.

I was going to stick around more if they had it on tap inside. But they didn't.

 

I have seen the bba syrup every time I have went. It's a little pricey (as all real maple syrup is) and I don't feel like everyone is interested in it.
