Alpine Updates

I entered through the back patio today and saw a lot of folks drinking until the rain came.

Cheers.....

 

If I can't get any I'm coming over =)

 

How long have you guys held your TIGHTENED THE FUCK OUT OF Alpine growlers with no loss in beer quality?

 

Question about HB - how long will this stay fresh if I keep the growler in the fridge, unopened?I might get an extra for a friend's birthday in mid-October.

 

Mid October would be bad.

Alpine doesn't purge nor bottom fill, and uses screw tops. Near as bad as it gets.

 

I've gone between two and three weeks with no discernible fall off in freshness and taste. I keep them very cold in the back of my fridge.

Cheers.....

 

I would not even think of holding this until mid October, especially HB which is so frickin great super fresh. Two to three weeks is as long as I would sit on it.

Cheers......

 

Already heading back for 4 more growlers of it.

 

Hoarder.

 

You guys all suck. Sending the wife.

 

Jesus fuck, save some for the rest of us 9-5'ers

 

Freaking blows! Thank goodness for stay at home moms.

 

Either that or he is very thirsty.

Cheers.....

 

Alpine needs to expand. They can't even hold their "mainline" for sale all the time. Limited releases? Forget about it. Get there day 1 or you're done.

 

Actually you make a good point. As it stands now the majority of people wanting for just a single growler will not be able to. I'm not bagging on those who are already going back for their 12th growlers, actually I'm just jealous that my career doesn't allow me to be able to it !! But if Pat really wants to spread the love he should install a system that could make the beer last just a wee bit longer, reduce the number of growlers, six is pretty generous if you ask me. Maybe reduce the amount your allowed to buy the next day if you have already maxed out your allotment on the first day ? I don't know it's just a thought. I was really lucky that I was in SD working yesterday and got the heads up. My guess is that HB will not last until Friday if folks are refilling a half dozen growlers a day. Your right though that expansion MAY eleviate some of these problems but the bottom line is that Pat and Sean are the hottest fucking beer commodity in So Cal right now and are making the best beer by a long shot and EVERYONE wants it. Not a bad problem from Alpines standpoint I guess.

Cheers.....
