    Thanks for clarifying. I asked the attendant if it was on tap, and he said they had it in bottles. Didn't mention it was only samples.

    This beer (Vintage 2014) is the one that finally converted my wife....

    After drinking a bottle last night we ripped through a few other Wild Ales from the cellar and the look on her face after tasting each one was priceless, no longer that puckered, sour face; it was replaced now by a look of enjoyment....exactly what I love about drinking beers.

    It's a great experience, my wife did the same thing when we had our first Beatification. Now she loves sours/wilds as much as I do! Can't wait to share a Vintage 14 with her tomorrow night.

    I would honestly bet they have more of it that isn't on the floor.

    This picture was taken at 11:46 AM according to my iPhone. The cases on the cart and along the walls were what was left. I asked the girl working there if there was more in the back or everything was one the floor. She said it was all out. Unless she was lying, I'd image it'll be gone by days end or first thing tomorrow morning.

    Be nice if they would stay open past 4PM for those working stiffs who can't come to the brewery in the middle of the day. But then again, their staff are working stiffs too, so I can understand why they do what they do.

    I was also told what was on the floor was all that was left this afternoon (noonish).

    Well, they have had it for sale all day Thurs-Sunday. I'm sure even the stiffest of workers could have found the time to make it over there.

    I personally did not witness it on Thursday, but I did see it on Friday and surely wasn't afraid to bring this to the employees pointing the "culprit" out. Not sure how they handled it, but I did my do diligence.

    Didn't your mother ever tell you that nobody likes a tattle tail?

    My guess is it was someone from Illinois :wink: Oh and my mom....she taught me to be respectful and have morals. My Dad taught me that "cheaters" never win and "winners" never cheat.

    I picked up bottles at 3:45. There was about 2 cases on the floor left.

    Roughly 23 cases got bought in 4 hours? Doesn't seem right but maybe NG was packed on a Sunday afternoon

    NG was plenty busy on Sunday afternoon but they're busy pretty much every Sunday afternoon in the summer. Most people weren't there for the R&D but I'm not surprised it went that fast.
