Bottle Logic Brewing Thread - Winter 2016/2017

No pics of anyone dropping their bottle of reaction state? I am disappoint.

 

Up Up is really solid too...and no lines. Crazy right?

 

No lines and haze laborers automatically mean it doesn't taste as good. You didn't know?

 

yeah, some folks got real rowdy and had to get choke holded and kicked out.


HAZE IS NO SERIOUS BUSINESS!!

seriously, that stuff is tasting delicious.

 

DON'T HAZE ME BRO!

 

Friend of mine got 2 RS on accident instead of 1 GS/1 RS. Told her to drain pour both and apologize to BL for allowing such a silly mistake to happen.

 

Sounds right.

 

Does anyone know what kind of cold storage room, bottle logic has in comparison to Monkish?

BL cold storage

Monkish cold storage


Hope the comparison helps.

 

It looked like they kept the cans in a refrigerated container in their barrel house.

 

Bottle Logic has those refrigerator containers that they keep in the warehouse. If you pick up up up (lol) they're the white containers in the back there.

 

It did, I Appreciate it.

Just got back from Bottle Logic. Not sure who runs the operation there, but they're a perfect example of a company that knows how to adapt.
From online can sales to having that second bar in the back. Getting pours from the bar was a piece of cake. Never waited more than 2 minutes.
Compared to the FO release, this was an incredible improvement. Not that the FO release was a cluster fuck, but the wait was worse and today I never saw the line get passed the food truck. Most of those people didn't know they had a second setup in the back, despite the signs.

The can release, I mean, you see that setup and you think "why can't anyone else do this?" Monkish and noble could easily fit that setup in their locations.

I've always been critical of BL's core line up, but the majority of their stasis bottles are world class. Ground State was amazing and Reaction State was pretty good. Not a big cinnamon fan, but I still enjoyed it.

At this point, I believe the other places feed off the hype and social media posts of crazy people lining up at 2am for cans. Though I think Monkish and Noble make great brews, I think BL really listens to their customers. I'll still enjoy the former breweries, and continue to shell out money for their products, but now I will always spend a little more at BL.

 

GABF & BJCP judges are also critical of their core lineup. And they've awarded them medals as a result.

 

Yeah, their brown ale and dark lager are legit

 

No doubt. They get no love because they don't have adjuncts or barrel aging. But they're top notch without a doubt.

 

Serious props to Bottle Logic for a flawless weekend dealing with big crowds and attention. Every bad situation I saw this weekend there was dealt with swiftly, with the goal of everyone having a good experience. If this is any indication for the upcoming Week of Logic, I'm looking forward to a smooth (albeit crowded and busy) week.

 

Cracked open an Up Up and I think it might be better from that can than on draft. Sure, you have to drink it as fresh as possible, but I can't wait to see what this beer is like two weeks down the line.

 

Personal preference, I guess. I never been blown away by their year round selections. I do enjoy Ocularity, though. They always knock it out of the park with their Stasis bottles, with the exception of (again, personal preference) PIYW and Byzantine.

Again, they have proven to be able to adapt. First couple of tap releases of Haze Shift were not anything to write home about. Tasting Up Up, you notice the incredible improvement in their NE IPA brewing. Like anything, I knew it'd take them some time to brew something as delicious as Up Up. Haze shift was also tasting better than the first couple of times I've tried it. Again, not knocking on BL, but I'm not gonnna sit here and say I've always loved everything they've brewed, when you can easily search my post history and find me being critical of some of their offerings.

 

Had Up Up on draft and thought it was significantly better than any of the Haze___ offerings they've had up to this point. Wouldn't have been interested in cans from them before, but after trying this one I will be. And I'll second what people are pointing out with the ease of the overall experience on release day. Even with the line at open it only took a little over 10 minutes or so to get pours and we got a spot to post up without any wait. This is a brewery that very obviously cares about the experience of its patrons and listens to their opinions. And Reaction State blew me away.
