Alesmith - Bottle Releases

Nah, I brought my grumbler from home. I did wonder for a sec when I got in the car if maybe she charged me for a new one accidentally or something but since they sell them in the other room I just figured the price went up. Last time I got a Viet fill I think it was roughly $20 now that I think about it though.

 

I had inquired about this when we were both there that saturday for the bottle release & was informed it wasn't available for a growler fill yet the site stated the opposite. if you go to the site now, as the legend states *available for growler fill the brewers blend was listed at the time. I can only guess it was a discrepancy but perhaps it wasn't... who knows?

 

My apologies if this is not the right place, but wanted to see if anyone had any Jamaica Blue and/or Velvet they'd be interested in trading. East coast guy here. Will delete if not the spot.

 

As long as a mod doesn't see it, you should be fine. They want all trades in the trading forum.

 

Looks like I can't delete it.

 

anvil and stave is tiny! but it helps to go during a weekday like I am right now haha. really cool setup they got going here and tons of great BA stuff here

 

Do you need tickets printed or on your phone is good for bottle pickup?

 

Phone is fine

 

Yep, worked out just fine.

Also, the Anvil and Stave room is not by appointment anymore. You need to pick up tickets at the brewery store with a password.

I jumped in got 3 shots (1.5 oz tasters) for $6.50. Great.

 

Anybody pick up a 2014 olde ale? I picked up a bottle today and it shows 2016 in the barrel. I was told by two employees thats because when it was bottled/release. And its "indeed a 14", and that an old bottle was used for the picture.. I'm almost certain this isn't correct and will email later but wanted to see what others got.

 

Well my certainly was lacking because, on the instagram post with picture states bourbon and brandy. This bottle doesn't state brandy barrels. One of the reasons why I chose to buy it, so my initial reaction was like bait and switched.

 

Nah, you're good. I asked the same thing when I saw the bottle. I proxied for some dude, so I wanted to have an answer for him when he asks. Like Reap said, look at the Roman numerals.

 

While your right, it never said bourbon & brandy olde ale. But why show a photo of a bottle that is not being given? I'm pretty sure at the time of sale they had the olde ale's already bottled they could of used as pictures, as they needed to know quantity they had available. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought their cellar sale was bottle's that were held back in storage and released at this time.

 

I would agree! The '14 is rather tasty. I like the depth of the flavor. I preferred the '14 over the '15. Picked up an extra bottle it was so good.

 

Yes indeed, it's just wasn't what I was expecting so I was a little disappointed but life goes on.
