Ram Brewery Side Note Releases

WTF. the beer they serve on tap is total garbage. Why don't they fix that shit and then worry about bottling.

 

...one less person in line for a great release. Works for me.

 

No growler fills on stout releases.

Lol @ the people saying Ram has bad beer.

 

How's that Buttface Amber Ale these days? Bet you're guzzling that shit by the gallons.

 

Haha must have never had Juicy. Ignorance is bliss.

 

Anybody there have details?

Bottle allotments? On tap? Growler/Crowler fills?

 

Hope there is plenty to go around as I can't go when they are open. Not sure why it is that hard to believe RAM has amazing beer. More for the rest of us as I have read these are great brews.

 

First 150 people in line get 2 bottles. After that 1 bottle per person until sold out.

 

No tap, all bottles

 

I had an earlier commitment, so couldn't get there until right before 11:00. The word is out. The line wrapped all the way around the bulding; I peeled away before actually seeing the actual end. Cheers to those who hung in there.

 

Crap

 

This is all sold out then I presume? Read that it would be all gone in an hour.

 

Line is still moving... Outside of the building. Not sure what remains


Also... I've never seen so many awkward dudes with their (mule) moms.

 

It's sold out now. I got there right at 11 and was the last person in line for about 15-20 minutes. There were about 20 bottles left when I got mine. So it took 2 hours for them to clear the line - which is kind of a long time, especially for getting one 22oz beer. I kind of wish they only did cash - it would go much faster

 

Anyone actually drink it? I'm curious if the effort was worth the reward.

 

Got there at 1030 (had a commitment) and the line only added like 25 more people by 11. I got thru at 1230 and I would estimate there were only 50-75 bottles remaining at that point. 2 registers would make a big difference. I don't blame them much but now that they see things are getting crazy hopefully they adjust accordingly.

 

Got to try it at the Oak Park Microbrew Review. It was pretty legit. Solid aroma and rich mouthfeel. It was pretty sweet, definitely noticed the graham cracker.

 

I got there at 10:30 so I was after the first 150, only got one bottle at about 12:30, and they ran out shortly thereafter. I'd bet thirty to fifty people in line got shut out.

Drinking it now and I'd say it's great. Not two hours in line for one bottle great, but great. I'll definitely head back up there for the next Juicy release, that stuff is comparable to some NE IPAs.

 

A lot of hype around this one... So which of the following 3 scenarios is more likely within the next 2 years?

1. RAM gives Shaun more freedom to brew these popular beers more often and in larger quantities

2. Shaun leaves to open a new brewery

3. Shaun stays and everything stays status quo with these special releases.
