Beachwood BBQ Beer Releases Thread

The "pirozhki" was damn good too! Perfect food after a few pours of Tovarish.

 

Last year they only had one line so after you bought bottles you were seated and could eat. This time we waited inline for two hours and then had to get in another line and wait a half an hour to put our name in to wait another two hours to get seated. Liked how they did it last year much better. Lots of diehard fans just left and ate elsewhere. I know these guys care and will make corrective changes for the next one.

 

I was a diehard that left and ate elsewhere. I showed up early to get bottles and eat but was not about to wait any more than I already did. A friend that was 10 people behind me was still waiting for a table 2 hours AFTER he got bottles. Aside from that, I was 25th in line when I got there. I counted more than 50 people in front of me when they started selling bottles.

 

Seriously, was an example how great breweries can still improve. Looking for 2 glasses myself btw.

 

I got there at 11 and waited to about 1:30 to get bottles. Than another 2-2.5 hours to get seated to eat. The only thing they ran out of at that time was the Cocoa Pebbles & Tiramisu casks. If they don't change anything for the next release I'll definitely be going to SB next time! Here's the SB & LBC lines, no joke!

 

I pretty much love everything about beer and the beer community but waiting hours in line for a release is the stupidest fucking thing ever.

 

Yeah, if you're on their allocation list with the limited production stuff.

 

The wait was pretty ridiculous if you wanted bottles and wanted to sit down and try out the variants . And it sucked that they ran out of glasses so quickly. With that said, I had a really good time. I ended up meeting some really chill people in line and ended up spending my afternoon with them. The Amaretto was awesome and I may now have friends for future releases! Really glad I went. Cheers.

 

Don't get me started.

Cheers…...

 

Hmmm, based on your pic I might have been in line with you. Remember a bald black dude? lol

 

Of course I remember you! Lol. Good times in line. Glad I met friendly people in line this release! It took us another two hours to get a table inside btw. It sucked haha. Is your pic te dog you talked about? hahaha

 

rewarding loyalty. Nothing wrong with that. When people stop buying, then people on the wait list move onto the active list.

 

Yeah. I'm glad I didn't stick around for that. Would have been hungry af

 

Didn't S.B. only get 40% of the allocation and sell out in 30 minutes? Yeah, I don't think there's anyway you could bypass the shit show.

The simple solution, and the one I thought they set up for was what the Blendery has been doing. Pass out the ticket numbers before the sale. Tell people they have till 4-5 to pick up. in the mean time go eat food or go to the blendery and enjoy yourself. Folks who want bottles only and jet, can get them. But the line wouldn't have been a mess like it was and you'll have a massive crowd spread between three areas (line for bottles, eating food/at bar, and checking out the blendery)

 

I was like 3 people before the glasswear running out. I'm glad it ran out, realistically I don't think I need more glasswear haha

 

Does this mean we are seeing the dawn of whale glassware? I think I just dry heaved a little typing that up.

 

Whale glassware is old news.

 

We already have glasswhalez.

 

...I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

 

Haha, yeah...cheers anyhow
