    Ugh can we wait until after the release to start complaining about it?

    There is no good solution, but I think its the best solution. The other option is to distribute it and let the stores handle the cluster that will arrive with an Atrial release.

    It sucks, but i like it, especially compared to the ticket systems. At least this way if you are a committed fan you can go get your one bottle. Think of all the people in SD who frequent alesmith but didnt get BASS because the system was clogged with people buying bottles all across the country

    MvB sold 2500 bottles the first weekend with a limit of 1.

    Of course a lot of people cheated the limit on that one.

    2500 bottles, and 1 per person per day. Doubt it will make it through the whole weekend.

    MvB lasted through most of Friday of weekend 2. I think it is possible Atrial will do the same, but all depends on the cheaters and level of muling that ensues...

    The website blog seems to be oddly worded. Will it only be available for onsite consumption Friday @jesterkingbeer? Was hoping that it was a vaguely worded way of saying it will be available for pour starting on Friday going thru the weekend.

    There's no way we'd distribute it. We already fought and won the right to sell the product we make in the place where we make it. We're not giving up that right ever again without a fight. It's shocking and un-American that Brewer's Permit and Manufacturers License holders in Texas still can't sell beer to take home from their breweries. - Jeff

    It will be available by the glass staring Friday for as long as supplies last, which should be at least into Saturday.

    Kinda miss the days where you could swing by JK a month after an Atrial release and grab a bottle but couldn't be happier to see them having all this success.

    Cheers!

    Any speculation on the 330cl bottling today? Blend of raspberry and blackberry?

    Guessing by the color, Biere de Merlot. But that might be wishful thinking.

    I'm speculating that its the sherry barrel-aged Atrial.
