Monkish Brewing (September 2016)

Ugh, wish I were on the pre sale list. I wonder when, if ever, they update it.

 

More often than SARA's list....3.5yrs and waiting...

 

Should be a special ballcap for PPers that allows them to cut to the front of the IPA line.

 

Tattooed wristbands, or lawnchairs surgically attached to our asses. Either/or.

 

I think I've paid my dues

 

Grabbed two of each

Regarding Phantom Carriage, their fruited Broadacres variants, Cellar Blends, and Bergmans (Bergmen?) have all been killer. But keep sleepin on em. Works for me

 

Lugosi bottling next month... really enjoy that beer.

 

Looks like the limits are 2 for apricot and 1 for the others when the presale happens. Must be nice to be part of the pre presale so you don't have to compete with the public.

 

It is!

 

with only limit 1...I have a better chance of scoring 1 rather than waiting another second to click both.
which fruit to decide!

 

I was most excited about the prospect of raspberry. But Monkish has done a really great job with boysenberry on previous beers. Unfortunately, those are the two lower-limit brews...

 

Out of curiousity, how much per month or per year did you spend on Monkish beers before getting on the pre pre sale list?

I see some people that have managed their way onto multiple different breweries' lists and I don't know how they drink all that beer.

 

I heard you have to complete a Black Tuesday vertical and do 50 burpees without throwing up or dying

 

The Monkish PP was based off the simplest of things. Two online sales and basically if Henry knew you in person and asked for your email based on the perception of you being a regular enough patron to his establishment.

At least that's the simple form of it. There wasn't a "spend X amount and you're in!" sort of thing. It's about hooking up those who regularly supported the business.

 

Worked differently for me. Henry saw some of my whalegrams from their parking lot and was suitably intrigued... he slid into my DMs with a "de Garde... who is your connect?" message. Of course I didn't give up my connect. I think he was impressed by my integrity, for only two weeks later an owl flew into my condo bearing the coveted PP golden envelope in its beak.

 

Yeah, to continue on this to answer your question, @Conrad99, I basically started buying beers from them when they first started doing online sales, I frequent the tasting room and post about them on social media. I rarely if ever max out what I buy from them. It was more of a thank you for being a long-time supporter (financially and via social media word-of-mouth).

 

fingers ready...

 

In for Apricot and Boysenberry! Yay!

 

That was surprisingly easy. Got the one bottle of raspberry i was hoping for using the app.
Now, back to work.

 

got em!
