Cellarmaker to start bottling.

...why is it relevant there were three women in line?

 

Because women don't drink beer at all since it is #yucky. =P

 

Still 150 bottles left according to Instagram post about 20 min ago

 

Ugh. I can't believe I had to miss this. Any chance they last the night? Won't be back in town til tomorrow. Fack

 

Don't think so. Considering they only have 13 or so cases left, I think they'd be able to get rid of those tonight by 11pm (closing).

 

Picked up a couple bottles myself around 3p. There were probably 30 people in front of me. Didn't think they would run out, though.

 

Just an observation, bud.

 

Because yesterday was that International Women's Day thing yo

 

Because it was International Women's Day, obviously

 

2 per person if anyone is still looking today. Sounds like about 7 cases or so left.

 

So you're saying I didn't need to line up at 10:30 yesterday?

 

How's the beer?

 

Who cares? It's not gonna land any zombie dust if it didn't sell out before everyone in line got some... oh wait, that's right you can drink that stuff in the bottle!

 

Opened my first bottle tonight. To preface, I generally prefer Cellarmaker pale ales & IPAs to their DIPAs. Also, of the DIPA offerings I have had on draft/growler, I preferred Highway & Dank Side to Dank Williams.

Massive juicy hops in the nose - if you have had other Cellarmaker DIPAs, it resembles most of their DIPA offers with juicy up front and slightly pine at the end. Slightly under-carbonated from what I was expecting but I prefer under to over, especially on DIPAs. Also, slightly malt-sweet but with all those hops it provides a really nice platform for them to burst. All in all, I think the bottle format holds up to my experience out of the growler - just happy I get share this with a couple of friends next weekend without worrying if the growler held up.

 

Nice observation! #sausageparty

 

This review is spot on. Opened my first bottle tonight and the hop profile is a juicy tropical overload. But there is a pretty serious carbonation issue. It's as flat as a cask beer. I wonder if its force carbonated properly or if they just bottled with whatever CO2 was in suspension. A nice head is pretty important to my IPAs so this was a big disappointment for me at least.

 

It would have to be force-carbed because they said they're bottling the morning of the release. That's fixable but unfortunate if most or all of them went out that way.

 

Hmmm I finished a bottle Tuesday and last night, and didn't notice any carbonation issues.

Then again, if I had bought 6 instead of 2, I'm sure each passing day is a ticking time bomb.

 

Saw via Instagram CM is collaborating with Other Half, something good should come from that.

Looks like they have a beer and date for their second bottling. They are dropping Mt. Nelson on April 5th.
