Monkish Brewing

all but cherry were "unavailable" within moments of the sale. Cherry lingered around some. The others came back in and out in that whack a mole cart dump style for about 20 minutes before they said sold out and then cherry went to unavailable.

 

If anyone is curious, bottle counts for each fruit version ranged from 300-450.

 

My first visit was May 2012; apparently I forgot what was available

I'm still bitter about that. They sold out of glasses five people in front of me. The only thing that brings me some solace is apparently the glass is really thin, so they break easily

 

Interesting, but I wonder what the breakdown was per fruit? Going to guess something like:

... Soul Foudre w/ BOYSENBERRY (8.4% ABV) ... 350 bottles
... Soul Foudre w/ CHERRY (8.4% ABV) ... 450 bottles
... Soul Foudre w/ BLUEBERRY (8.4% ABV) ... 300 bottles
... Soul Foudre w/ PEACH (8.4% ABV) ... 400 bottles

 

Boysenberry sold quick. Peach and Blue stuck around for like 3-4 minutes. Cherry hung for a little while.

 

The bottle count wasn't a big secret. It was right on the eventbrite page:

... Soul Foudre w/ BOYSENBERRY (8.4% ABV) ... 350 bottles available
... Soul Foudre w/ CHERRY (8.4% ABV) ... 450 bottles available
... Soul Foudre w/ BLUEBERRY (8.4% ABV) ... 300 bottles available
... Soul Foudre w/ PEACH (8.4% ABV) ... 400 bottles available

 

Just in case not everyone got it.
... Soul Foudre w/ BOYSENBERRY (8.4% ABV) ... 350 bottles available
... Soul Foudre w/ CHERRY (8.4% ABV) ... 450 bottles available
... Soul Foudre w/ BLUEBERRY (8.4% ABV) ... 300 bottles available
... Soul Foudre w/ PEACH (8.4% ABV) ... 400 bottles available

 

To clarify for anyone who is curious, bottle counts for each fruit version ranged from 300-450.

 

Furthermore, the cherry variant lasted a little bit longer than the others.

 

Anyone know the abv on these beers?

 

I read somewhere on this thread that it was 8.4%, not sure though.

 

Also, anyone know which fruits were used??

 

I heard they used strawberries, but I can't find any info online...

 

Shucks, don't know why they're being so tight lipped about this. Me and the boys were thinking about chilling in their parking lot this weekend and crushing some pappy van winkle barrel aged ice beer, but may just have to take our business elsewhere now.

 

haha...I thought only the "friends" email had the bottle count info. Was just trying to be nice but I did just get a few chuckles. Cheers guys.

 

haha. Serious question... Is there any word in if there are kegs of any of these? Will they be on tap at the brewery?

 

I was there yesterday and I think someone may have asked but I believe it was bottles only.

 

They also had a new IPA on tap

 

Since they only brought bottles of it to bruery anniversary my guess is that none of it (or very very little) would get kegged.
